#Representative Payee

[squaredawayblog]

People with mental health issues who have a family member manage their benefits and pay bills say they would like more input into how it's done.

One of the socialist things I’d like to see ALONG WITH UBI (not instead of) is a government option for all basic neccesities. I am aware that the government option would -suck- and as long as it’s survivably functional, I’m fine with that. When I was a kid, we got monthly commodity food boxes. They’d be filled with food that looked like this:

And in lean months, it would be that and whatever we could get from the garden, or forage/fish, or trade with friends and neighbors. My mom had this awesome recipe for peanut butter balls that utilized the powdered milk, shit-quality peanut butter, and maple-flavored corn syrup that we routinely got in our box and actually made it good. 

I think that these things should be available for purchase at every supermarket, and that the prices should be fixed with relation to the minimum wage. All brands should have to compete with the government option - if SPAM is going to be more expensive than LUNCHEON MEAT in the silver can, then it needs to justify that cost by being better quality.

I want the same thing for housing. I want fucking Commie Blocks to be an option.

This would combat runaway inflation by putting a price cap on survival needs. It would guard against shrinkflation, because a consumers could compare the Government Standard portion to the brands. UBI ought to be such that it covers The Government Option for food, housing, clothing, transit etc. with generous wiggle room for emergency savings and little joys in life. 

Everyone should get their own UBI account in their own name at birth, along with their social security number. It should follow the individual regardless of guardianship. Parents/guardians should have incrementally less and less control over said funds as the child gets older, and should have to provide itemized receipts of how money taken from a child’s account is spent (Similar to what you have to do if you’re in control of an elder’s social security money).

https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-repayee-ussi.htm

'Each year, we will ask certain representative payees to complete a Representative Payee Accounting Report showing how they spent and saved the money they received for you during the 12-month report period.'

These are steps that would could easily institute tomorrow be reallocating funding, and they’d have a huge impact on cost of living for everyone.  

This rant brought to you by the fact that store brand canned luncheon meat in my local grocery held fast at a dollar for the better part of two decades but now costs $2.18.

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), over seven million individuals currently require assistance with their monthly SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or Social Security Retirement, Survivors and Dependents Insurance (RSDI) benefits. For that reason, SSA has the Representative Payee Program, through which it authorizes family members, friends, government agencies, and other organizations to receive benefits and act on behalf of the eligible individual in communications with the agency. The need for a payee is based primarily on an individual’s capability to manage his or her own funds.

This was hard for me to watch all the way through because it's personal for me. But for the grace of god, that would have been me. As a lifelong crazy person, I've feared institutionalization since I first heard of it 50 years ago.

I am presently on disability for chronic major depression and complex PTSD, after growing up in a chronically abusive household and then, outside the home, surviving a homicide attempt. When I could find ADA-compliant employers I was able to work a successful 30+ year career. I still eventually broke down and, now that I'm drawing disability insurance, I do need support with some regular activities, the ones that overwhelm my coping skills. In my case, my representative payee works for free, as a volunteer with Overland Baptist Church, because in a typical month all I need is 3-4 zoom calls. So it costs the state basically zero dollars for me to live in the real world, and occasionally be as useful as any other retiree, and, important to me (and, one would think, to anybody who believes in the American creed), I am free.

As a lifelong mentally ill person, I have known since I was 12 or 13 that this state, that most states, want me permanently in some kind of prison. If you can't take care of yourself, then you need to be locked up at gunpoint and forced to do as much as you can, right? "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"

Except that locking me up would cost the state tens of thousands of dollars per year and get maybe a thousand or so dollars' a year back from labor at gunpoint. Labor I'd undertake at standard wages if I could find an ADA-compliant employer willing to hire a 64 year old, which, yeah, right.

Supportive housing preserves freedom, maximizes employability, and costs not even a tenth of what prison costs (or involuntary commitment, which is just prison with a fancier name and very nearly just as expensive). But supportive housing looks, to stingy people with deadened souls, like an un-earned benefit (as if anybody wanted to live dependent on supportive housing!), and prison/commitment looks like punishing the unworthy, and boy oh boy howdy do (miserable, soul-less) human beings love punishing the unworthy.

A Miami pastor has been accused of collecting the social security benefits of someone who died nearly 12 years ago. Michael Gene Bryant of Greater Sweetfield Missionary Baptist Church in the Coconut Grove neighborhood faces multiple charges, including theft of government funds and making false statements to a federal agency.

According to the federal indictment, Bryant became the representative payee for an individual referred to as “H.L.G.” in December of 1996.

Representative payees are designated for individuals who are not able to manage their Social Security benefits on their…

NOW HIRING: Colorist/Background Artist

Hello, DJW here:

I am actively seeking a COLORIST/BACJGROUND ARTIST for my webcomic 'Descendant'.

More info UTC.

You must have the following:

A good, fundamental grasp on color theory and the elements of design. Anyone who is also demonstratively improving their basics are also welcome to apply. Good grasp on lighting is also preferred, please.

MUST have a stomach for horror/Lovecraftian designs/mild gore/mild sexual content.

You MUST NOT be adverse to coloring People of Color, LGBTQ+ characters, (This is a very diverse story) as well as the problems they faced in the time period. This story can be very sticky but I do NOT want to traumatize a community for the sake of the story. These various -isms won't be tolerated.

You probably should enjoy some form of "Old Western"-style media: saloons, wagons, horses; etc. etc.

You should also probably enjoy occult stories: vampires, angels, demons, etc. etc.

You must be respectful of my story and how it progresses and have faith that I have control over my narrative.

This will be (hopefully be) a partnership so please do not apply if you don't want to commit to a serious comic endeavor. I've been working on this story for over 20 years.

You MAY build and/or use 3-D models but AI Generated content will NOT be tolerated whatsoever.

Even better if you're a Black or Native American artist so YOU can crack the whip if I'm not representing POC correctly or enough.

You MUST be okay with a 50/50 payment split, meaning: I ALWAYS PAY FELLOW ARTIST HALF UP FRONT AND HALF WHEN THE WORK IS DONE. (<---EVERYONE should be doing this. That way you still get paid for the work you did, and your payee doesn't lose out on hard work.)

MUST be willing to enter into a non-disclosure agreement, as well as a theft-protection agreement meaning: I will absolutely pursue legal action if, for some reason, we part ways and I find out you're using my characters or story ideas in your own works.

MUST have Clip Studio Paint or a program that allows you to work with the CSP files. Clip studio has a STUDIO option where I can add you, and you can open the pages from a cloud service, which really cool once I figure out how to set it all up.

Currently, I am offering $100/page (in reality, it's more like 1 or 2 panels, but we can discuss that later) in webtoon format (vertical form comics). You will not be required to draw much beyond backgrounds and only on select panels to be discussed with me as they come into play. I will specify through conversations what I'm looking for. I am not looking to micro-manage anyone, either. I will let you have your creative freedom, as long as it falls in line with the theme. <--this will be discussed during the planning phases of each chapter.

I will have a tryout period beginning on September 7th where I will pass along something that I drew, and you will color it to demonstrate your skills. I am paying $50 per person (up to 4).

For the work I'm doing: I will be writing, sketching, inking, lettering, paneling...pretty much everything but backgrounds and color.

I am open to different coloring styles, as long as we agree on an inking style and stick to it. I am pushing hard for quality but I understand I am not paying much right now. As time goes on, if this turns out well, I fully intend on upping that payout more and eventually setting up a Patreon which I will be using to pay YOU as well as my editor, and any beta readers I may need before posting. (you can also be that beta reader if you'd like; get that money, baby!)

Also, if this goes well, I am very open to also helping YOU create your own comics, especially on any downtime on my own, FREE OF CHARGE!!

And, if this goes SUPER-DUPER well, I've got a really great idea for a companion project to go along with this story.

If you are interested, please send me a DM on Tumblr, Instagram, or Deviantart along with a little blurb about yourself and a few examples of your best work:

https://www.instagram.com/djwaglmuffin/

Thanks in advance for the interest and I hope to see people apply!

PS: If y'all could reblog and share this on various places to drum up interest, that'd sure be swell.

Here, have a sticker!

[rivercityrabbitsbro]

Idk why but I'm suddenly remembering a specific email exchange that I fucking KILLED at, in front of a client, and went from almost a year of not paying us to getting a check for $100k the next day.

This is all very technical but I'm in the zone so I'm gonna type it all out anyway bc it was so good.

My dept was trying to pursue a company that rented our client's crane and damaged it, and basically every party we talked to addressed us in a way that felt like they thought we were someone else.

We were pursuing them for MONTHS without success, and then found out that the claim was closed bc they paid their client/our customer. We couldn't get a response from the customer on "Hey you got paid $100k for our unit, pay us" so it got elevated to me and I had to hassle their insurance company to ask why that happened and where our money was.

And we went back-and-forth for a few emails where their insurance adjuster basically went "Um sweatie :) idk what ur smoking but 1) they are not our insured and 2) we don't owe you additional insured or loss payee status [AI & LP; the latter being the thing that would mean they have to pay us and not their insured] and 3) even if we did owe you LP status we didn't know that you were the owner of the unit when we got the loss bc we thought you were [their client] and only just learned you weren't, so take it up with [their client]"

Since I'd just gotten involved with this file at the time, I sat and picked through the whole 100 emails in the file and realized that they had sent us a full unredacted copy of their client's policy (a thing they should absolutely never do) bc they thought we were their client (despite clearly identifying who we were). This meant I had so much fucking ammo here.

So I wrote back "Hi [name]! Appreciate the update. I had a chance I go through our file to see what happened here. Attached please find the initial loss notice where we clearly identified ourselves in the email as representing [my client] pursing your insured [their client] for our damages. This includes a copy of the signed contract with terms and conditions, as well as a Certificate of Insurance (COI) produced by their broker (who I've copied to this email chain), which states that my client is AI and LP where required by written contract. I've also included several other emails sent since, in which we identify ourselves - we did this in every correspondence I have on record.

Per the copy of the policy you sent to us [which is a thing this guy did not want in writing], all payments should be made directly to the LP. Also, it states that we're considered LP so long as the broker says they are. Since they made this COI with my client's name and the LP language on it, that constitutes LP by the policy language.

At this point, we've clearly demonstrated that we own the unit in question, so by accepting payment, [their client] has profited $100k by accepting an insurance payment for something they did not have an insurable interest in. Also, if you're stating they're not your insured, I'm not entirely sure why get were paid at all. Did [insurance company] pay a 3rd party for this unit on behalf of their insured? In either instance, is [insurance company] going to pursue them for reimbursement/insurance fraud?

Additionally, if they are not your insured, then I will need clarification as to why [broker] provided a COI stating as such - if it true that they are not and have never been your insured, and should we not receive payment from [insurance company] or [their client], we will be filing a claim with the broker's insurance as well for this unit since they falsely attested it was insured.

Finally, as an aside: [their client] currently has 25 open contracts with [my client] which all require AI and LP status by contract, which you're saying is not the case. Please confirm this is correct, as my client (copied here) will need to proceed with canceling all open rental tickets.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss"

I have never gotten 4 phone calls at basically the exact same time before or since. Absolutely PANICKED calls from people tripping over themselves to apologize for the confusion, or the condescension, or the frustration, and please please please don't sue us or report us to the insurance commission.

I also got an email back so fucking fast from the adjuster like "oh fuck oh god my bad I've called the broker and our main contact at the insured and we're working on this I stg we made a mistake please don't cancel those contracts based on what I said"

And my client called me to cackle at the change in tone from the adjuster's original emails to the last one bc I so thoroughly trounced them. My heart was fucking racing bc never have that much ammo and I had to carefully lay it all out for maximum impact, and goddamn did I get it in one.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this very involved post about An Email I Sent Once.

[darkwingsnark]

Really sorry yer family is being shit about your disabilities and ableness to do physical and mental tasks. Its so fucking draining to be treated like that. Its so fucking degrading to be told over and over the issues and pain and dizziness and self hate you have is irrelevant because some people keep their heads so far up their asses that they DO WANT to see how much yer struggling. I'm so fucking sorry mate, it sucks so bad. I wish there was a way to help you out or make them look further than two feet ahead of them because just them asking how you are feels so nice and validating. And ik its not really my place, but as someone who had to deal with such a family and had to break the cycle and work xerself out of being non-confrontational with a whole bunch of mental and physical issues; kindly, fuck them in the most loving, hating, mentally draining, hoping, and spiteful way. I hope you hold on, bc you are worth so so so much more than they are treating you. Sorry again if this is out of line; I typed this genuinely.

Nono, no need to apologize. It's flattering you went through all the trouble. Sorry I am just getting to this now, it's been another long 6 hours of kid sitting so I didn't have the time or spoons to address this yet.

As for my family... It's a lot of them just being tired of hearing what I'm going through. I've received a lot of 'it's been this number of years, get over it' despite still living with the daily reminders and still going through current events. Trust me, I am also tired of feeling this way. Especially as my body starts shaking as I'm in the middle of holding a child, and can't have her running around the apartment. But my mother is my caretaker and representative payee, they... are responsible for my health? Like they have to take me to doctor appointments, to get my meds. But they tend to want to put it off or do this thing where they go 'I'll do this but you have to make the phone call' despite knowing I legit can't retain information because my fear puts me onto autopilot and I go into 'theater mode'. ... Rambling. Point being there's a lot that I need help with, which in all fairness my wife has been helping a lot with phone calls. But even then I'm having heart palpitations in the background having to pay attention should a question come up that i need to answer. My wife also helps a lot with the chores especially during the week when I'm in recovery mode. Problem is she's also been feeling trapped in the room with me because of 'bad vibes' throughout the rest of the house. We're just all sort of cramped in on each other currently because of my sister and her kids/boyfriend staying here. I understand they are also under stress, but taking it out on me is no excuse, especially as I'm mindful not to do that to them.

If it makes you feel better I am still trucking along. Just I hope things let up soon. I'm starting to feel similar to past health situations where I was pushed too far by family, and then my blood levels plummeted. Just sucks seeing the signs and mentioning them, and then getting blown off. Because THEY don't have any options but to rely on me.

I'm just so tired.

SSA in my email:

"Cost-of-Living Adjustment:

Approximately 70 million Americans will see a 8.7% increase in their Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in 2023. We will mail Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) notices throughout the month of December to retirement, survivors, and disability beneficiaries, SSI recipients, and representative payees."

Me, on SSDI since 2012: Awesome, thanks, it's still nowhere near enough to live on but now I can afford to put a little more toward medical bills haha

The Commodity of Paying With Paper Checks

In an increasingly digital world, the practice of paying with paper checks may seem outdated. However, checks still hold a significant place in various transactions, especially for businesses and individuals who prioritize security and tangible records. This article delves into the commodity of paying with paper checks, exploring its advantages, disadvantages, and relevance in today’s economy.

Understanding Paper Checks

A paper check is a written order directing a bank to pay a specific amount of money from the account of the check writer to the payee. Despite the rise of electronic payment methods, checks remain widely used for various transactions, including business payments, rent, and personal services.

Advantages of Paying With Paper Checks

Security and Fraud Prevention

Paper checks provide a level of security that can be appealing to many. Unlike digital payments, checks can be held, mailed, or delivered in person, allowing for more control over the transaction. Additionally, checks can include features like watermarks and specialized inks to deter counterfeiting.

Record Keeping

When you pay with a paper check, you maintain a physical record of the transaction. This can be useful for tracking expenses and for auditing purposes. Many businesses prefer checks for their paper trails, which are easier to manage compared to electronic transactions that may require digital storage solutions.

Familiarity and Trust

Many individuals, especially older generations, feel more comfortable using checks. For them, checks represent a traditional form of payment that is trusted and understood. This familiarity can lead to more confidence in transactions.

No Transaction Fees

While electronic payment methods often come with transaction fees, paying with checks usually incurs no additional costs. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses that make frequent payments.

Control Over Payments

With checks, payers have more control over the timing of payments. They can choose when to write the check, when to send it, and when the payee can cash it. This level of control can help with cash flow management.

Disadvantages of Paying With Paper Checks

Processing Time

One of the most significant drawbacks of checks is the time it takes to process them. Unlike instant electronic payments, checks can take days to clear, leading to delays in transaction completion.

Potential for Errors

Writing checks involves manual entry, which can lead to errors. Mistakes in the amount, date, or payee can cause complications that require time and effort to resolve.

Risk of Loss or Theft

Physical checks can be lost or stolen, posing a risk to the payer. If a check is lost, it can take considerable time to cancel and reissue, potentially disrupting payment schedules.

Limited Acceptance

As digital payment methods gain popularity, fewer businesses and individuals may accept checks. This limitation can hinder transactions, especially for those who prefer modern payment solutions.

Environmental Impact

The production and disposal of paper checks contribute to environmental concerns. As businesses move towards sustainable practices, the use of checks may come under scrutiny for their ecological footprint.

The Future of Paper Checks

While digital payment methods continue to rise in popularity, paper checks still hold value in certain contexts. Many businesses and individuals appreciate the security, control, and familiarity that checks provide. Furthermore, in specific industries such as real estate, legal services, and healthcare, checks remain a preferred method of payment due to regulatory requirements and trust factors.

However, as technology evolves, it’s essential for businesses to evaluate their payment processes. Integrating both electronic and traditional payment methods may offer the best balance, ensuring that all customer preferences are met while streamlining operations.

Conclusion

In summary, paying with paper checks remains a relevant practice in today’s economy. While they offer benefits such as security and record-keeping, checks also present challenges that must be considered. As businesses navigate the digital landscape, understanding the role of paper checks can help them make informed decisions about their payment strategies. Whether checks will continue to hold their place in commerce remains to be seen, but for now, they remain a valuable commodity in the world of transactions.

Cheque Bounce Penalties: Fines and Imprisonment

Cheque bounce cases are a serious legal matter in India, carrying significant penalties including fines and imprisonment. Understanding these penalties is crucial for both issuers and payees. At Lawchef, our experienced check bounce lawyers provide comprehensive legal support to help you navigate the complexities of cheque bounce cases.

Legal Framework Governing Cheque Bounce Penalties

The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881

The primary legislation governing cheque bounce cases in India is the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. Section 138 of the Act outlines the penalties for issuing a cheque that is dishonored due to insufficient funds or other reasons.

Key Elements of Section 138

Issuance of Cheque: The cheque must be drawn by a person on an account maintained by them for the payment of money to another person.

Dishonor of Cheque: The cheque must be returned by the bank unpaid due to insufficient funds or if it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account.

Check Bounce Legal Notice: The payee must send a written notice to the drawer within 30 days of receiving information about the dishonor.

Failure to Pay: If the drawer fails to make the payment within 15 days of receiving the notice, the payee can file a complaint in the court within 30 days after the 15-day period.

Penalties for Cheque Bounce

Financial Penalties

The court can impose hefty fines on the drawer of a bounced cheque. These fines can be up to twice the amount of the dishonored cheque. The financial penalties serve as a deterrent and ensure that the drawer is penalized for issuing a cheque without sufficient funds.

Imprisonment

In addition to financial penalties, the court can also impose imprisonment. The term of imprisonment can extend up to two years. This underscores the seriousness of the offense and acts as a strong deterrent against issuing cheques without maintaining adequate funds in the account.

Compoundable Offense

Cheque bounce is a compoundable offense, which means that the complainant and the accused can settle the matter outside the court. If both parties agree, they can request the court to drop the charges. However, if the case goes to trial, the court can impose the aforementioned penalties based on the merits of the case.

Understanding Section 138: Legal Consequences of Cheque Bounce in India

In today's fast-paced financial world, cheques remain a standard transaction method. However, cheque bouncing, or dishonour of cheques, is a significant issue that can lead to severe legal consequences. Section 138 of India's Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881 addresses this problem. It outlines the legal implications of cheque bounce, protecting the interests of the payee and ensuring financial discipline. Understanding this section is crucial for individuals and businesses to avoid legal entanglements and ensure smooth financial operations. With this knowledge, you can navigate financial transactions more confidently.

What does the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881's Section 138 mean?

Section 138 deals with the dishonour of cheques due to insufficient funds or if the cheque amount exceeds the account balance. When a cheque is bounced, the payee must notify the drawer in writing within 30 days of receiving information about the dishonour. After that, the drawer has 15 days to make the payment. Failure to do so can lead to legal proceedings under Section 138. This provision ensures that the drawer is held accountable, instilling trust and reliability in cheque transactions. It is crucial to understand these steps to prevent future financial disputes.

Legal Process Involved in Cheque Bounce Cases

When a cheque is dishonoured, the first step is to send a legal notice to the drawer demanding payment. If the drawer fails to pay within 15 days, the payee can file a complaint in a magistrate's court within a month. The court will then issue a summons to the drawer. If found guilty, the drawer can face imprisonment for up to two years, a fine twice the cheque amount, or both. Engaging the best civil lawyer in Delhi high court can significantly enhance the chances of a favourable outcome in such cases.

Defences Available to the Drawer

While Section 138 aims to protect the payee, the drawer also has certain defences. They can argue that the cheque was given as a gift or without consideration. Additionally, these can be valid defences if the cheque was issued under duress or if there was a significant alteration in the cheque without consent. The drawer must consult with the best criminal lawyer in Delhi to explore these defences and present a strong case in court. Proper legal advice can help navigate these complex defences effectively.

Importance of Legal Representation

Navigating cheque bounce cases requires expert legal knowledge. The payee and drawer should seek the assistance of a qualified civil advocate in Delhi to protect their rights. Legal representation can provide strategic advice, draft precise legal notices, and represent clients effectively in court. This is particularly important given these cases' strict timelines and procedural requirements. Having a skilled advocate can ensure your case is handled with the utmost professionalism.

Impact on Businesses and Individuals

Cheque bounce cases can severely impact both individuals and businesses. For businesses, it can disrupt cash flow, harm client relationships, and damage reputation. For individuals, it can lead to financial strain and legal hassles. To mitigate these risks, it's advisable to maintain sufficient funds in the account and regularly monitor transactions. Engaging the best criminal lawyer in Delhi High Court in case of a dispute can help navigate the complexities and resolve the issue efficiently.

Summary

Understanding Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881 is vital for anyone involved in financial transactions using cheques. This legal provision ensures accountability and protects the payee's interests while offering defences for the drawer. Proper legal representation is crucial to safeguard one's rights and interests.

Do you get social security retirement benefits, social security disability insurance, supplemental security income, or a veteran’s benefit as a veteran, a veteran’s widowed spouse, or a veteran’s dependent adult child? Do you have trouble keeping track of your bills and your budget? Relying on a neutral, professional service to help you stay on top of your housing, utilities, and medical payments can be a relief. Our Representative Payee Program will receive your monthly benefit for you, and create a monthly budget to then pay your essential bills while providing you with a weekly spending amount for your other needs. This can give you and your loved ones peace of mind. If this service sounds like a good fit for your needs, please contact us and tell us your address, the type of SSA or VA benefits you receive, and your current financial situation. We look forward to discussing this with you! Call 812.336.4976 to ask for more information or to make an appointment with Kay Young, the Representative Payee Program Administrator.
