what's the point of life
if there are no sexborgs?
First off: we are working with a lawyer but they are absolutely poo poo at answering the phone and/or returning our calls. We haven't paid them anything and supposedly they will get a percentage of the back SSI from the filing date. Posting for advice because it's time sensitive and schedules make going down to the law office difficult due to location but I may just need to take time off work to do so.

My sister-in-law recently got approved for SSI for being mentally disabled. She lives with my wife and I, and I've been taking care of all of her expenses, needs, food, etc, other than her medical needs, which is Medicaid.

To finalize the approval, we need to go to the SSI office with documentation for rent and expenses. But... we haven't been charging her rent because she has no income and her name isn't on any utilities because she has no income. As for taxes I've been claiming her as a dependent because she has no income and we've been feeding and housing her. Letter says please respond within 5 days (received Tuesday, left voicemails with the lawyer but no response), and she will be denied if we don't respond before September 7th. The lawyers and neuropsychologist mentioned setting her up as a "separate household" but it was a vague concept and we can't recall if they advised setting it up before or after ssi is approved

Do I do exactly what the paperwork says and bring my tax return and all household expenses, write a letter saying she's been living with us room and board free because she has no income, or do I make some bill chart stating I expected her to pay rent (at the approved ssi rate for my area) but have waived it because of no income?

I'll try and run this by the lawyer before we do anything but I guess I want an idea of what we should/can do if we can't get a hold of them/office is closed for an extended holiday/they have vanished from the surface of the earth.

She worked at one point, workplace closed 8 years ago but no unemployment insurance due to her low wages and no SSI because we were dumb and didn't know about ssi really.

Sorry about your situation, but nobody is going to advise you here on a technical issue, specific to your case, where if they give you the wrong advice (because there are things they don't know or you're mistaken about) it could gently caress you.

Drive to your lawyer's office maybe and park it in the lobby until you get to speak to someone?

Yeah, about what I figured, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

They call, leave a voicemail one day because we missed their one call, and for the next month or two we are calling ranging from every other day to multiple times a day leaving voicemails on their phone system (which, of course the person we deal with doesn't have their own extension, so we leave voicemails for the default mailbox and/or someone we picked out of the directory in hopes of getting a hold of someone) and then one magical day they try calling again right as we are holding the phone or we call and ONE TIME out of 30+ someone actually picks up. We've tried right after they open, mid day, before closing, but no luck. One time we called just after they did and was directed to "Our office is closed" voicemail.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out they aren't getting the voicemail for some reason and they think we're just blowing them off.

I'll try to get there tomorrow before they close, and if not or they are closed/on vacation, I'll send a physical letter and follow up next week.

I’m not talking about your situation but generally in social security cases nothing happens for YEARS and the lawyers are handling many many cases and answering questions from clients about cases that are not happening right now is .... hard

Not saying this is happening in your case . Just a general statement .

If you really want to throw down, "failure to return phone calls" is, as I understand it, the leading source of attorney bar complaints. If you go that route though you'll probably need to find a new lawyer, which might be a good thing to do first anyway if they're going month+ without returning calls.

For general social security questions you can call the social security administration toll free CS number, 1 (800) 772-1213.

You sound like you're running into the deemed income / in-kind support rule with SSI. You can find general info about that rule here, but it may be hard to process without an attorney helping out:

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v68n4/v68n4p15.html

EDIT: better link: https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-living-ussi.htm

Every state has a "protection and advocacy organization" that can act as free legal aid / free legal assistance for people with disabilities who have disability-related legal issues. They don't always handle SSI issues (you need special training and certification to practice with social security administration issues, and the private bar is generally happy to take these cases anyway) but they may be able to help -- perhaps by referring you to a better, more responsible / responsive alternate local attorney. Since I don't know what state you're in I can't refer you to your local protection and advocacy org, but a quick google for that phrase and your state should find it.

Oh yeah, I figure it's lots of cases, old tech, and running in the basement of an old hospital turned into a public outreach place, so I give them a lot of leeway. I have my doubts that their system actually records any calls.

Drug scale and Google. I used it because I couldn't afford the copay on amoxicillin so I bought fish meds and had to figure out it's concentration and everything. Because 30 250mg cap for 8$ helps a lot when people amoxicillin costs 50$

Not trying to be obnoxious here, but there are many medications available for free through some large chains like Meijer (midwest Walmart-like place) and big chain grocery stores like Publix, amoxicillin included. It can be worth your while to grab the GoodRx app which can give you regionally specific prices as well as coupons that can make things like epipens almost free. Veterinary stuff isn’t held to nearly the same quality standards so you may not be adequately treating whatever is going on.

Also child support not alimony. Unpaid child support.

Hey all, just had an issue rise it's head today and I'm not sure if I have any grounds for a suit or even if I do if it's a good idea.

I live and work in New York City for a city agency. I am also a drilling Marine Corps Reservist. Apparently I belong to a union at my job.

I was put on active orders from May to Aug (80 days on orders total). Prior to leaving I submitted a written notice to the timekeeping department using the form provided by my job. Once I was on active duty and had received my orders I sent a copy to my supervisor. While I was away my manager filled out my time sheets and submitted them to timekeeping. I received my full salary the entire time I was gone.

Today I get an email from the timekeeping folks saying that they're missing all of my time sheets from that period, that I only rate 22 days of paid military leave, and that they never received my notice or my orders. I pressed them about this and they kept changing their story as I called out inaccuracies before finally saying they wouldn't answer any more questions. I also asked them why they hadn't mentioned the 22 day limit when I had specifically asked them about military leave previously. They also refused to provide me with the policy of the 22 day limit saying something along the lines of "You have to talk to labor relations, we only enforce policy."

As a result of all this they're not going to pay me for the past 2 weeks of work and made reference to somehow reconciling the difference in pay later.

Obviously I'm super pissed about them loving up, not catching it for 4 months, then coming at me like I did something wrong, docking my pay, and I assume eventually asking me to pay back 3 months salary.

Finally my question: Assuming this policy exists (which it probably does) and they never informed me about it even when asked, is there any way to avoid having to pay back the money or having them dock my pay since the error seems to be mostly theirs? Or am I screwed because big organization so gently caress you?

I'm going to try and reach out to HR and the DOL tomorrow to see what they say, maybe a lawyer as well just to see what they say.
