I'm so sorry. Were you in the Peace Corps? It shouldn't but you have to make sure the doctor really keeps things separate and is clear. It would be best if...
A friend who has lost her job has moved in. If I charge her a little rent, would this lower my WC compensation amount? If she split the utilities, etc. would...
No, it will not have any effect so long as it is rental income and not self-employment income or wages. You do not even have to report it. ... From: skmackie...

Yes, but it is rarely that simple. It does get the paperwork through but it doesn't ensure that other things are handled correctly. It is one step that people...
As for the funding, I was referring to the ombudsman issues presented earlier. Also, if we each have to go through our senators each time we have a problem...

Yes, I think trying to obtain a list of rules would be good. If we can get one unified letter together. That's pretty much what we did with Kevin a few years...

In what capacity do you "represent" people? Are you an advocate in some way? This is interesting. In a message dated 4/8/2011 1:00:46 P.M. Eastern Daylight...
