Re: [QUAD-L] Question

Guys,

I'm retired (65) this year. Since I left work in 2000 on disability at 70% tax 
free pay. My Insurance was paid with after tax dollars which made the payments 
to me tax free. So, if my pay was $100,000 I receive $70,000 tax free, for 
example.

You can take any 401k money without penalty as long as you file as disabled. 
You will still be subjected to regular tax on the money as income. Your Soc. 
Sec. Also is taxed as income if it falls beyond the threshold for the tax year.
You are disabled automatically if you are receiving SSD. You can save into a 
401K anytime. By gov't do you mean state? Do they want money back from you from 
an award or settlement from a lawsuit? That they can and will do.

I received a settlement from a suit brought against property owners of the pier 
I got hurt on. At that  time I worked for Chase Manhattan bank. It took five 
years to bring the suit to fruition. I used $250k in medical expenses from 
insurance. The bank was self insured for their employees ergo it was my 
employer who wanted the $250k back. I argued that they were not part of the 
suit, had no steak in arguing the suit nor any downside if I had lost in court. 
Nope, by law they were entitled to that money back. Now, through arduous debate 
back and forth ( they knocked it down to $100k)

 If he creeps u out, block him. Personally, Muslim fundamentalist diatribe is 
abhorrent. They rant  about loving their God yet condemn to death all who do 
not practice it their way. It justifies  rape, genocide and murder. 
My son and sister were murdered by people who follow these beliefs on 9/11.  He 
lives in a country that does not give him the right to be anything but what he 
is. He has no rights here and should not be given any. Ignore his rantings. 
Jimmy has the power to ban him. It's his list and his right. I love this list 
where people like us and those who support us can go to get valued info on 
anything pertaining to their problems. The info is timely and given freely by 
those with experience.
