Can u work part time collect unemployment and get social security

I would need more information to answer your question. Are you on SSI or Social Security Disability? If you are on SSD, you may be eligible for a Trial Work Period. As for unemployment compensation, did you disclose this to the unemployment office? In Connecticut, your doctor can fill out a form stating you can work part -time. You then may be able to qualify for unemployment benefits. You want to be sure that you disclose earnings to both unemployment and SSA to prevent any claim of fraud.

Social Security Disability

Once SSA knows of your new address, they will transfer your case. You will not have a choice. As to whether to hire an attorney in this state or the next: sometimes an attorney will be happy to travel to another state for a client who moves. It depends on the attorney.

My husband has been diagnosed with esophogeal cancer. This cancer was in a late stage and required immediate surgery.

Its possible. If your husband can work part time, ask the unemployment office for a form to take to his doctor. If he can work part time, he may be approved for unemployment benefits.

Can you have harassment charges placed on you from slandering a teacher on a social networking site on school grounds?

There are quite a few cases in the courts where students have contested discipline by the school for inappropriate posts on social media. There are also some appeals court decisions which are conflicting. This is a brand new area of law - what rights to free speech do students have? The fact that the students were using a computer at school leads me to believe that, if the school wanted to issue some kind of a sanction, they might be able to do so. Don't use twitter at school. It is...

PLEASE HELP!!! ATTORNEY VS NON ATTORNEY DISABILITY 1st APPEAL

You should get an attorney. At this point, you have no way of knowing how far down the appeals pipeline your case will go. It may end up in Federal District Court. A non-attorney cannot represent you in federal court. You would have to find an attorney to represent you (unless you represent yourself, which I don't recommend). Most SS attorneys will not take a federal appeal if they did not handle the hearing at SSA. So, you might as well get an attorney now. Ask the attorney if she or he...

Wondering if I need a lawyer to write up a letter to ask the school to do a disability or special needs test on my daughter?

You do not need a lawyer to write a letter asking to have your daughter evaluated. You will need a lawyer or other advocate if the school declines to have your daughter evaluated, or you disagree with the school's evaluation. If you disagree with the school's evaluation, you may have a right to an independent evaluation at public expense. Be sure you put all your requests in writing. Get proof of the school's receipt of your request. Keep a copy. Good luck!

College Dismissal for Disciplinary reasons

Each college has their own disciplinary procedures. These procedures are contained in the school handbook. Your college may have posted them on-line. You should read those rules carefully to see if your school followed its own procedures. Additionally, it may make a difference if you are in a public university as opposed to a private university. You should consult a Texas education attorney. That attorney should be able to tell you if your appeal was received on time.

Can I sue my school for lack of education?

I don't think you really want to sue the school; you are asking if you have to pay the entire tuition. First, look at your school's refund policy. Did you tell the school you were withdrawing from classes? School's generally will refund part of your tuition if you withdraw early enough. You didn't say whether you were receiving federal financial aid. If so, federal laws may help. Requirements for institutions participating n financial aid programs for students are set forth at 20 USC sec....

I graduate from college 6 years ago but now the school says they have no record of me attending, do I have any legal recourse?

Your communications with the school on this issue should be in writing. Make a written request for a copy of your educational records. Also include the documentation that you have - a copy of the degree, transcript, grade reports, etc. A written request will be taken more seriously than a phone call.

I have been diagnosed with adhd attention deffecit hyper disorder for six years and currently take adderal.

Social security disability is a program that pays cash benefits to people who are too disabled to work. SSI also pays cash benefits to adults and children who are disabled. Many factors are involved in the disability determination, such as age, education, severity of disability, functional impairments and past work experience. Your question does not give enough information for a meaningful response. Some people with ADHD may be able to work and hold down a job; other people may not. Just having...
