Florida closed their state Department of Labor about 20 years ago. There are one or two others as well, and the Georgia DOL has been described as a post office box where no one ever picks up the mail.

It's a little hard to follow what happened when, but FSA's go by date of service, not by date of billing, and they are use it or lose it in both directions. If the service was in 2024 (it's not clear if it was or not) then it goes against your 2024 balance, not your 2025. It has nothing at all...

I'll complete the hijack, since I did ask the question. With an HMO it is quite unlikely that your doctor has the option of waiving the copay for you, or that you have the option of not paying it. It's contractually written into your insurance policy.

My apologies to gerard2026.

Brooklyner12, may I ask what kind of health insurance policy you have? I don't mean BCBS, Aetna, UHC; I mean HMO, POS, PPO?

Your beef is not with Geico but with the NY DMV. I have never dealt with such a group of incompetent bureaucrats as they are. Geico is reporting on the information they received, but the information came from the NY DMV. I have no doubt that the NY DMV denied sending such a report to them...

Asking, not arguing. Has it been determined whether he is, in fact, an MS-13 (or any other gang) member? For fact and not via rumor?

The answer is both yes and no. It would be illegal to lay someone off for the sole purpose of depriving them of vesting in a pension or other retirement plan, or to prevent someone from qualifying for benefits that they would otherwise be eligible for. Please note that someone who is just...

You are due wages at the rate of no less than minimum wage (the higher of state or Federal) for all the time you actually worked. Regardless of what you were told the check was for, you are not due a single penny of wages for any time after March 5, unless you have a legally binding and...

Tax has pretty much summed it up.

As this is a legal forum and not a political one, I'd like to politely request that if member wish to fight about their political beliefs they do so off line.

I am reminded of a series of posts from a gentleman who had an obsession with whether or not he may have exposed his penis in a number of hypothetical situations, many of which were unlikely to the point of absurdity to have happened. Let us not go down this same trail.

And that will be enough of that

Ah.
