Is This True...Social Security Benefits (kinda long)
Comments (13)Alcohol laws vary state by state and even within certain states they can vary by county. Unemployment law varies state by state. If you have questions you need to read what the law is in YOUR state. It is extremely unlikely that you are going to find specifics about Alabama on a discussion board inhabited by Texans, Canadians, Wisconsinites, New Yorkers, and Australians speaking off the cuff. One thing is for sure, and that is that Muni Court cannot control what the Federal Social Security Office does. Now then, Social Security does have rules about paying benefits to those who are incarcerated for crimes they commit, while they are incarcerated. They don't send SS checks to prisoners in jail. Once out, even felons can receive SS checks if they are routinely eligible. Social Security benefits are not paid for the months you have been sentenced to a jail, prison or correctional facility or confined to certain public institutions for committing a crime. And, no benefits can be paid for any month in which you violate a condition of your probation or parole. Although you cannot receive monthly Social Security benefit payments while you are confined, your spouse or children can be paid benefits on your record if they are eligible. I don't know the all the laws in AL but I cannot see a first time offender, young girl working retail, doing any actual jail time over this. Then again I know that Alabama has dry counties and maybe judges have a "get tough" policy regarding the enforcement of alcohol laws and dole out harsh punishments for disobeying the alcohol laws. In my state there would be a HUGE monetary fine for something like this and it could be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the circumstances surrounding the case. There could possibly be jail time depending on the circumstances of the case. There may be loss of license for premise owner and also for the employee. For an employee to lose their license would be devastating as most employers won't hire someone without one even though they can. If there is jail time AND the girl is currently receiving SSI checks for one reason or another, (some minors can receive if they are in school and a parent is deceased or disabled) her checks would cease while she is incarcerated. Maybe that is what the employer was referrig to. I guess we will never really know. Read up on SS law to find out more. abc.alabama.gov...See MoreTax Rebates.....
Comments (1)No...it is not an "advance" on our next year's refund (if you even get a refund - many people don't), instead, it is pre-payment of a tax credit that is being applied to Y2008 taxes. Yes, for accounting purposes, this pre-payment will be listed as a tax credit on Y2008 tax form. Do not confuse a tax credit with a tax refund. A tax refund is when you have pre-paid more money for your tax bill (through estimated payments or payroll witholding), than you owe..that money is a refund. A tax credit is an amount that is subtracted from the taxes that you owe. The net result is that you will get the tax credit this year, instead of next. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding in this post....See MoreSpousal Social Security Benefit Question
Comments (5)Jkom is right. You cannot collect two types of checks (benefits) at once. He could "potentially" receive widower's checks only if they were more than his own retirement checks , since they were legally married for over 10 years. . Sorry if this is bad news....See MoreWhen to take Social Security?
Comments (2)Retirement appears less and less likely for many people. Wages have barely improved in decades and the cost of living is going up, tempting some people to retire overseas. It could be done, but there are a ton of plans one has to make first. One can always retire abroad for much less. It's good to think that Social Security still pays benefits to overseas retired persons, though taxes on that income in a new home country may apply as well as to the United States....See Moremaifleur01
