Also my HR submitted his Social Security to e-Verify online and it came back 'unverifiable' - now Im afraid that I am be exposing my company and not sure what to do. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:25:31 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/how-does--retirement-and-social-security-impact-on-166154.html I have recently retired at age 63 under FERS and had been paying alimony for over 13 years. A Wage Assignment ensued at the time of dissolution and I lost contact with my ex-spouse. Who initiates an order to show cause...my ex spouse or me? Since I no longer earn wages does the garnishment still apply to SSI or any pension funds left and not owed to other creditors? It would seem that her entitlement to file for SSI on my account would be one factor in lowering or eliminating a continuing need for Spousal Support!

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:08:33 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/about-j1-expired-and-married-165988.html Hi, well I came in December 2007 with a J1 visa valid for almost 4 months then tried for a tourist visa which in mid 2008 I received a letter asking to remain economically tests which never answered, having had my social security number i continued working on the same place using this so far and always doing my tax payments. Well just a month ago I married for love and now I want to start my adjustment of status of which I have many questions such as: Should I declare that I worked all this time? Does the Turist visa petition which I made at a time affect my situation? Shall pay a fine? Also my husband has been paying monthly child support does this affect my adjustment to income that should show my support? What would be the amount of income that he should prove to make my request?

She wants to give the car back and she recently started working. Her great grandmother is living off of (not sure which one) Social Security or SSI. Is there a chance that her great grandmother's benefits could get garnished or will they come after my girlfriend for payment? Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:02:37 PST
