For unemployment purposes, laid off is due to lack of work. UC will not be of help.

He should absolutely report when he moves so that he continues to receive his paperwork timely. They’ll want to know about any changes to expenses, and when he indicates the rent amount, they’ll want to know how he’s paying or how he’s going to pay. He can explain then that he’ll be doing under-the-table work seasonally and they should advise of what they’ll need from him to verify it.

But, strictly speaking, he doesn’t have to report the income for SNAP until his next renewal or SAR—the only thing required to be reported for SNAP in PA is income exceeding 130% of the FPIGs, which would be $1,473 for your cousin, and based on what you said he won’t earn that much.

For Medicaid, it’s any increase in income of $125/mo or more, to be reported by the 10th day following the month in which the income begins. Which doesn’t actually matter right now because everyone’s Medicaid in Pennsylvania will go to their next renewal after the COVID-19 PHE ends.

Edited to add: As someone else noted, your cousin can report changes via COMPASS if he knows his case record number. Or he can call the statewide customer service center at 1-877-395-8930.

Oh I'm so tired of this shitty argument on Reddit. I don't give a shit what big corps do, or you do. Doing bad things is doing bad things.

My primary point was the financial gains that can be made by reporting employee misclassification, which happens more than many people think. You are correct in that the IRS misses most cases.

But allowing employee misclassification is also a form of wage theft. It is literally your employer stealing money from you. Which is why it should not be tolerated.

It is truly a failure on society's part that people can be so easily victimized just because of someone else's greed. There are reason why every major religious faith lists greed as a major sin or crime.

Where did I say it does?

That's so inclusive!

You’re sorely mistaken if you think cannabis effects everyone the same.

I use cannabis daily. I also sold guns for 3 years at a gun store. I also think that things only change through compromise, and I don’t think it’s ridiculous to not want people using drugs around guns…

Also, my point was that alcohol and guns do cause a lot of deaths. I know of at least 3 people personally that have killed themselves under the influence of alcohol. If we had a law that prevented people from owning guns that drank heavily or have depression it could prevent a lot of suicides (think red flag laws which many places are now implementing).

Yep all the little guys have been forced out. 50 years ago when I was a student I’d work on family dairy farms. Sadly the last of them have disappeared. Nothing like cutting silage spreading manure or getting kicked by a cow.

What's great is that the teachers aren't complaining. The PFT and PSEA have not told them to complain, and continue shilling for nearly every democratic candidate.

The older teachers (like me) who understand what happened won't be impacted. The younger teachers (as mentioned) are to young to realize.

I wonder why Corbet didn't just abolish the system, as you suggest? Under his governship the contribution rate actually increased to 10.3%, attempting to at least increase funding, before Wolf decimated it.

Here is a link to the 7 member classes and contribution rates. I think the example you are looking at only references 3 of the 7 classes. You don't move through the classes based on the year, you stay in the the class for the year you were hired. Fortunately my rate is locked in at 7.5%.

=============

I know changes were necessary. I just think the should have made changes to make it similar to police/fireman (on NYC teachers) where you can collect around 50% at 25 years w/ no penalty, instead of 50% at 35 years, starting a second career in your 40's.

I also think the teachers continue to tow water for the democrats when they should, at the very least, be vocal about how the changes under Wolf were not pro-teacher. Yet they praise him like jebus.

You can tell who the ones were that were exploited as kids

Would be less of an issue if cops didn't steal so much funds

Dude nuclear in the US has been extremely safe. We have more issues with toxic spills, coal fired power plants burning, and oil spills. Berwick is extremely safe.Allentown/Easton Pa is very nice.

Farming isn't done in the 21st century by yeoman farming families, it's done by multinational corporations.

Stand up against tyranny? That's valid??

The IRS can barely keep up with their basic workload. Cash income is easy to spot by an experienced auditor looking at one's financials, but not for automated matching, which is mostly what the IRS relies on. Ie. reported income (W2, 1099, etc) verses what the tax filer stated.

Your final statement pretty much sums up the sentiment I'm getting at "... you are one of the wealthy elites". The typical working person (ie. earning less than $100K or so per year depending on locale) has to do what it takes to survive. The government knows this and has priced that in. Around 1/2 of all taxpayers pay little to zero federal tax; some getting money back (EITC, etc). The government will do fine whether the OP's cousin reports or not. They'll, figuratively speaking, just print up some more anyways. Inflation is the ultimate taxation that most no one can escape, but I digress.

Cost of doing business

They generally aren't interested in that type of statement. They want treatment records, the type they would send if you were transferring your care to them. In my experience they're looking for a reason to approve, not a reason to deny.

Not really, I was single but was still living pretty comfortably for myself. Not saying that teacher salaries aren’t crap, they are, but this narrative of “teachers can’t afford basic necessities” just isn’t true.

Profits are all that matter to the people in charge

He should definitely report the changes. You have until the 10th of the month following the change to report and be in compliance. Under the table/cash income still counts as income for welfare programs. The MA limit is $1616/month for one, so he will remain eligible. His SNAP could change, but the addition of rent is a biggie. And his income is still pretty low, so I'm guessing he'll only see a small decrease after the other deductions (earned income, shelter, and standard deduction they give). He will definitely lose the $95 COVID benefits, because those end this month. Source: was a welfare caseworker lol. Hope this is helpful!

Read up on what big corps do on the daily. It's not that 2 wrongs make a right, but rather people need to do what it takes to survive.

>You'd be surprised at the extent of the child labor violations in Mcdonald's franchises.

Mmmm no not really. In fact I'm surprised that we don't hear about them more.

Without context, the stars must have aligned. I wish it went that well here.

When I needed liheap they got me sorted by the end of the day.
