Use your votes wisely. Vote for politicians who recognize that we need a true social safety net in this country, rather than the crumbs that are tossed out to the "peasants", which are intentionally just enough to keep them from rioting in the streets.

I've been a renter my whole adult life, for various reasons. I have a problem with this idea that there's all kinds of programs to help tenants and that it's somehow more financially advantageous to be a renter than a landlord or homeowner. When my husband and I went through a long stretch of...

Such a pet peeve of mine!! No pun intended, lol. I have a dog who dislikes most other dogs, and who gets very upset when other dogs charge up to him. I've lost count of the number of times various loose dogs in our neighborhood have come after my leashed dog while we are on walks. Some owners...

Just wanted to add an update: My brother found out this week that he's approved for SSI. Finally! Over a year after his stroke.

I don't understand how they haven't been permanently disbarred by now. I know someone who is going through a divorce right now in Ohio, and her ex is being represented by the Staffords. Her attorney dropped her after finding that out.

Thank you. That's what I thought. I appreciate your help.

Thank you Janke. I'm going to give them a call this week. Yes, his SSDI application was denied. The SSA has his date last insured as in 2013. They said they could not find any medical proof that he was disabled prior to that date. He's been unemployed since 2008 due to his schizophrenia, and...

Thank you Janke, I appreciate the response. I had a lot of issues with the SSA and those darn authorized rep forms. One customer service rep would tell me they didn't have them on file and wouldn't give me info. Then another would say they did have them. I had my brother sign a new set of forms...

Thank you. I wasn't aware of that.

He's on long term care Medicaid.

Hoping Janke will see this and reply. My brother is still at the nursing facility, nearly a year since his stroke last March. He's been in and out of the hospital for various ailments, along with hospitalization for a major psychotic episodes. Still wheelchair bound, with virtually no use of his...

I work in a unionized government job. If we use sick time during an overtime week, any equivalent amount of overtime is paid at straight time. If we take pre scheduled vacation time, any overtime is still paid at time and a half. Now, for non unionized employees at my employer, using vacation...

I would think the probate court in the county where the cousin resides or was residing at the time she was placed in the facility would have records of any guardianship filed.

I'm wondering if snowman or his wife even have garnishable income. Someone mentioned he is in his 70s. If he and his wife are solely living off Social Security, then what could creditors even take if they sue? Social Security cannot be garnished for medical bills or credit card debt. I know...
