    Former Employer Filed an Appeal

    I agree that you cannot quit to go back to school and expect to get UI. However, my state has a program for unemployed folks who cannot find work in their field. Under this program, they can retrain for a new field. It has to be an approved program of study and you have to be accepted into the...

    Pre-Tax Flex Spending Acct & Hospital Bill

    I don't think anyone has suggested that you did anything wrong, or that you're trying to get out of paying what you owe. Quite the opposite; we're trying to help you find ways NOT to lose the $1500 in your FSA account. Some of what you posted made me wonder if you fully understood how it works...

    Question about rights in the workplace and outside

    In what way are YOUR religious beliefs being discriminated against? They don't HAVE to allow any religious statements at all. You're not being discriminated against if they prohibit ALL faiths from posting, only if they allow some but not others.

    Pre-Tax Flex Spending Acct & Hospital Bill

    FYI, I administer FSA and health insurance plans for a living. This may seem obvious but if you have $1500 in your 2021 FSA, then $1500 is all you can apply to your 2021 bills is $1500. You can apply it to the hospital bill, to the doctor's bill, the radiologist's bill, or whatever other...

    Medical Malpractice Failure to properly diagnose actionable?

    Medicine is not an exact science and every individual human body reacts differently. A lot of times, diagnosing is a matter of ruling things out, not in. If you want to pursue this, your father would have to have his medical records reviewed by a malpractice attorney, whose experts would have to...

    Pre-Tax Flex Spending Acct & Hospital Bill

    Okay, thank you. FSA's are highly regulated by law, and a lot of the restrictions on them are set by law rather than your employer. Not all of them, but many. Do you have an idea how much money you'll end up owing the hospital? Just a rough estimate will do.

    Pre-Tax Flex Spending Acct & Hospital Bill

    How do you submit your flexible spending claims? Do you submit receipts on a claim form, or do you have a debit card? i understand that you have 90 days to submit your claims. Does your employer offer a two and a half month grace period (you can incur claims for 2021 up till March 15, 2022)...

    Question about rights in the workplace and outside

    No media outlook owes you a platform. There is a very big difference between an employer not being able to fire you because of your religious beliefs, and news outlet being required to allow you to air your views. You might have noticed that even some very high level politicians have had their...

    Question about rights in the workplace and outside

    Anyone can sue anyone for anything. That doesn't mean they can sue successfully. You're going to have to provide more detail if you want anything resembling an informed opinion.

    Question about rights in the workplace and outside

    The First Amendment to the Constitution says that Congress shall make no law that prohibits your right to free speech. It does not say that there are no circumstances under which you can be penalized for what you say - just that the GOVERNMENT cannot restrict what you say. There is a specific...

    Can the Police get the iPhone Password from Apple

    Jim - this is not the first rodeo for either the police or the DA. They will know the circumstances under which it is possible to get a subpoena and they will know the processes to get it. It's neither your responsibility nor your concern. Let them do their jobs.

    Former Employer Filed an Appeal

    I figured it probably was. But since I'm the one who invited her to add to the thread, I thought I should add my own.

    Legality of Recording Business Calls on Cell Phones of Remote Employees

    Funny, I read the question somewhat differently. I read the question as not, can employees be recorded, but whether or not there is a law under which a recording would be legal UNLESS the employee makes/takes the call on his personal cell. Not, the overall legality of calls in general, but...

    Does someone charged with but not convicted of drug possession have his driver's license suspended?

    Please post your question only once. We're really not all that concerned with whether the question is in the "right" sub-category; as long as there's some reasonable connection between the question and the topic we're fine. I am deleting your duplicate posts; all answers can be submitted here.

    appeal pro se

    It would be much easier to answer your questions if you'd provided some kind of clue what kind of case we were talking about.

    Grandparents Visitation

    You have the right to ASK, yes. To what extent the court will agree, though, is not something that I can answer with any accuracy, the crystal ball being out for recalibration. Illinois has a LIMITED provision for grandparents to have visitation rights, so it would probably be worth your while...

    Allergic Reaction

    A wise person would not file any kind of lawsuit without some kind of evidence that it was this restaurant's food that he reacted to and not something else.
