Yes...as long as you`ve been paying into it, you can collect it. No age limit.

If I am 75 years of age and not getting any type of pension. I am having good health. If I can work, and then can apply for E.I. benefits

If I can claim e.i. benefits, which I am 75 years of age and not getting any type pension.

I was doing my mother's income tax and was surprised to find out that unemployment insurance premiums are deducted from her retirement earnings from her employer. she is over 65, has never collected ei and can never collect it. so what's up with that? yes - thanks!

Hello, I can easily answer this question for you. The key word is Employer...your mother is still an employee, regardless of her age, she continues to receive money from an income source to whom she is NOT RELATED. Most types of renumeration paid are subject to EI premiums withheld from an employer, but there are a few exceptions. The 2 CRA websites explaining which types of income are subject to or exempt from EI are listed below: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/payroll/calculating/ei/subject-e.html http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/payroll/calculating/ei/employment-e.html I hope this information helps you.

If you could opt out of social security, would you?

I'm really surprised to read so many negative answers here about social security. Most do not understand that it is an insurance plan, not just a retirement program. Social security also protects individuals from disability or death, before they reach retirement age. Has anyone who would OPT OUT of social security, figured up what a private insurance policy would cost to guarantee that your family or children retain some protection should you get crippled, or die? Besides, social security also tries to keep up with inflation, after retirement. Most private investment programs set up an annuity, that doesn't increase with inflation, so each year you get less and less. If we do away with the FDIC programs, or allow people to opt out, consider also the increased taxes to take care of millions more bankrupted people. Why? Because without a federal insurance to protect people who get disabled or die, leaving their families uninsured, what will happen to those widows and children? They'd end up on welfare. Many older people, unable to work, or who lost all their investments in risky investments, would also be looking to the public welfare agencies, without social security. Anyone who knows their history, knows that back in the 1930's, the portion of our population over age 65 were also the poorest. Today, the demographics are reversed. People over age 65 make one of highest income groups. This in a large part due to guaranteed income from Social Security. And another positive, is that children today do not have to plan to support Grandma or Grandpa, or their own parents. They will have more spendable money (even after paying their FDIC tax) because they won't have to kick in to suppliment their older parents and grandparents lifestyle. Younger people actually then have MORE spending money, not less, with the LOW FDIC tax, rather than if they had to buy more expensive private insurance plans. Conservatives always claim they are for "personal responsibility." Opting out of the successful USA social security program isn't very responsible, unless you can come up with something that works better for the economic health, and survival of our people. America is stronger today, because of this program. Anyone who speaks against it, is not being responsible, unless they can develop a better national plan. BTW, you can "double dip" and take more than one retirement plan, and Social Security, IF, you have 30+ years of qualifying employment under social security, and also qualify for a second retirement plan. It is possible to collect both military retirement, and social security, for example. I know, because I'm one of those lucky people.

Most people who criticize welfare on here are imagining that everyone who uses welfare is a person who could work but chooses not to. i have done research, and i don't see this happening with any program. here is what i have found: programs referred to as 'welfare': supplemental security income (ssi) - provides stipends to low-income people who are either aged (65 or older), blind, or disabled. in other words, people who couldn't work if they wanted to. as for the definition of disabled (the only possible 'exploitable' part of this program) specifies that the individual must be unable to perform any substantial gainful activity. the only way you are getting this benefit is if you really need it. temporary assistance for needy families (tanf) - provides cash assistance to indigent american families with dependent children. this program uses about $17 billion per year (which is nothing in relative terms). this is the one i see most attacked. however, the requirements for aid make those attacks less convincing: 1. recipients (with few exceptions) must work as soon as they are job ready or no later than two years after coming on assistance. 2. single parents are required to participate in work activities for at least 30 hours per week. two-parent families must participate in work activities 35 or 55 hours a week, depending upon circumstances. 3. failure to participate in work requirements can result in a reduction or termination of benefits to the family. 4. states, in fiscal year 2004, have to ensure that 50 percent of all families and 90 percent of two-parent families are participating in work activities. if a state meets these goals without restricting eligibility, it can receive a caseload reduction credit. this credit reduces the minimum participation rates the state must achieve to continue receiving federal funding. these requirements make it pretty clear that you can't just sit back and collect your check like a lot of people describe it. you are required to work as soon as you can, and if you don't do that within two years, you are done. now for the dreaded food stamps: supplemental nutrition assistance program (snap) - provides financial assistance for purchasing food to low- and no-income people living in the u.s. this is one of the more expensive programs at $74 billion per year, but that's still nothing, and the program sets some pretty strict requirements to prevent mooching. to get food stamps, you must participate in secondary education, job club/job search, community service, on-the-job training, or employment. this applies if you are 18 to 59 years old, not in school, working less than the equivalent of 30 hours per week at federal minimum wage, not receiving unemployment insurance or ssi, able-bodied, and not the parent/caretaker of a child under age six. so basically, if you should be working, then you have to be working to get food stamps. now, for the most hated program: unemployment insurance. unemployment compensation is money received from the united states and a state by a worker who has become unemployed through no fault of their own. notice those six words - "through no fault of their own." this means that you got laid off. you can't quit your job and get unemployment compensation. i know a lot of businesses try to get around this by cutting peoples hours by a lot when they want them to leave instead of laying them off, just so they don't have to pay unemployment compensation. this is another program that can't really be exploited. are there any programs that i missed? i am not seeing this magical free money with no work requirement welfare program that republicans are talking about. if you know which one it is, please tell me, and i will do my research on it and add it to this list. i'm looking for serious debate and discussion here - trolls can go back under their bridge. andy g, please do explain the situation in detroit and new orleans and tell me how it pertains to this issue. ryde.on: i am saying that the people on ssi are, as set by the requirements, people who are physically unable to work. other programs require you to work. read the entire post next time. neocon: i see you are talking about the pell grant program. while it can't be enforced, you are supposed to use that money for educational purposes only. the money is first used for tuition fees, and the rest can be used for other expenses such as food and apartment rent. there are also conditions that prevent people from wasting their money, for example, you have to pay back money if you fail a class. the idea is supposed to be that the person will pay back more money through taxes than they got out of the program. it does help the economy a lot when used properly, since it lets smart people in poor families get a chance to succeed. ryde.on: apart from being a wal-mart greeter, i'm not seeing it. i'd also like to see where your statistic came from. there are 47.7 million food stamp recipients. food stamps are mutually exclusive with unemployment insurance and ssi. 5.5 million people are using unemployment insurance and 8 million use ssi. i'll assume tanf recipients all take food stamps too for the sake of time and because i can't find proper statistics on it. that leaves us with only 61 million people receiving welfare, which is far from your 100 million figure.

Annual public and private expenditures for social service programs today exceed total federal outlays for cash assistance programs like welfare, food stamps, and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).| http://ed.stanford.edu/events/out-reach-place-poverty-and-new-american-welfare-state ~ ~ ~ How much does it cost each person, each year, to pay for welfare? $1740.98 per year, for every man,woman, child in the United States. Since about 25% are on the receiving end, it is actually higher, for those paying. [Keep in mind of those paying no IRS tax, "18,000 were households taking in more than $500,000 -- and of those, 4,000 made more than $1 million".] http://money.cnn.com/2011/05/09/pf/taxes/millionaires_income_tax/index.htm Consider first the total spent (not counting Social Security or Medicare): SSI – Supplemental security Income – not social security -for people who didn't work – $50 Billion a year. (see page 62 of the report) http://www.ssa.gov/oact/ssir/SSI11/ssi2011.pdf 2.6% of the population is on SSI, one of every 38 individuals, most never worked a day, the remainder worked so little, their Social Security is less than $678 per month. http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparem…2.6% of the population on SSI- one in every 38 individuals.http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparemaptable.jsp?ind=254&cat=4 Medicaid ( not medicare) spending 2010 - $389 Billion: http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparemaptable.jsp?ind=177&cat=4 Food stamps 2011 - $71 Billion: http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparetable.jsp?ind=25&cat=1 TANF (cash assistance for families - federal funds) $21 Billion 2009 http://archive.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofs/data/2009/table_a1_2009.html (So I'm at $531 Billion a year (plus HUD, Energy, More). Figures for 2012 will be higher. Based on a population of 305 million, paying $531 Billion, is $1740.98 per person. ~ ~ ~ The 60 month time limits for TANF (cash assistance) is all smoke and mirrors - not real. First of all almost half of all TANF cases have NO adult head of household, so NO time limits for them. If the mother is mentally disabled, gets SSI, she is not on the grant - not a "TANF household member". If the mother is a drug addict, she may have turned the children over to a grandparent or aunt, so that adult is not on the TANF grant. Next, the 60 month TANF counter is not running if the TANF head of household is considered temporarily disabled - like a difficult pregnancy. This is very common. Women who work and become pregnant continue to work. Women who are on welfare and become pregnant get a doctor statement saying they can't work. Post partum 12 week work exemption is automatic, no doctor statement. needed. So for every pregnancy, 8 months pregnancy no counter, and 3 months post partum no counter, so 11 months of TANF, does not count toward the 60 month limit. If you are overweight, or have other health issues, yuou may try to get SSI - for people who never worked. If your family doctor says you are disabled, and you pursue SSI, you are not work capable, no TANF counter running. It is not uncommon for 'disable' TANF parents to pursue SSI for 5 years, before finally giving up. so the five year limit got another five years added on. So now you are probably thinking 'Gee, all these people must be on TANF (cash assistance), getting the free ride.' WRONG! There are so many other welfare programs, they don't need TANF. ~ ~ The U.S. welfare system sure creates some crazy disincentives to working your way up the ladder. Benefits stacked upon benefits can mean it is financially better, at least in the short term, to stay at a lower-paying jobs rather than taking a higher paying job and losing those benefits . This is called the “welfare cliff.” Let’s take the example of a single mom with two kids, 1 and 4. She has a $29,000 a year job, putting the kids in daycare during the day while she works. As the above chart – via Gary Alexander, Pennsylvania’s secretary of Public Welfare — shows, the single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income and benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income & benefits of $57,045. http://www.aei-ideas.org/2012/07/julias-mother-why-a-single-mom-is-better-off-on-welfare-than-taking-a-69000-a-year-job/ ~ ~ ~ (Per the SSA reference below - SSI and children - "On average, SSI payments accounted for nearly 48 percent of the family income of SSI children,") For all families with SSI children, SSI is nearly half of ALL income. SSI and children. http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v66n2/v66n2p21.html

I need to find caregiver agencies in los angeles for my 92 year old great uncle. he needs someone who is there 24 hours (he usually has 2 people work 12-hour shifts) to assist him. these people need to speak english. any agency that can give us multiple people for the 14 weekly shifts would be much appreciated. also, if possible, do you know any agencies with many men? that would make this a lot easier. if you have recommendations on any agency from yourself or someone else, that could help too. thanks in advance. we'll try as many agencies as necessary before we find some good matches.

If you do agree with it, how do you foresee it working any better than the systems do in canada and england which are notoriously bad? how would we pay for a national healthcare system? what impact would immigration, especially illegal immigration have on a national healthcare system?

no... right now in Britain, there is a waiting list to get on the waiting list for treatment.. Elderly people are losing some of the treatments that had been afforded them.. Wisconsin Democrats are passing a plan to insure every resident under the age of 65 in the state has "free"health care. The plan would cost an estimated $15.2 billion, or $3 billion more than the state currently collects in all income, sales and corporate income taxes. It represents an average of $510 a month in higher taxes for every Wisconsin worker. Employees and businesses would pay for the plan by sharing the cost of a new 14.5% employment tax on wages . Wisconsin businesses would have to compete with out-of-state businesses and foreign rivals while shouldering a 29.8% combined federal-state payroll tax, nearly double the 15.3% payroll tax paid by non-Wisconsin firms for Social Security and Medicare combined. Democratic Governor Jim Doyle proposed and the Senate has approved, a $1.25 a pack increase in the cigarette tax, a 10% hike in the corporate tax, and new fees on cars, trucks, hospitals, real estate transactions, oil companies and dry cleaners. In all, the tax burden in the Badger State could rise to 20% of family income, which is slightly more than the average federal tax burden.the health plan includes a tax escalator clause allowing an additional 1.5 percentage point payroll tax to finance higher outlays in the future. This could bring the payroll tax to 16%. The argument for national health care saving money (about $1.8 billion a year) through efficiency gains by eliminating the administrative costs of private insurance is wrong.those costs won't vanish; they'll merely shift to all taxpayers and businesses. Small employers that can't afford to provide insurance would see their employment costs rise by thousands of dollars per worker, while those that now provide a basic health insurance plan would have to pay $400 to $500 a year more per employee. We can't afford to pay for everyones health care. I pay for my health care others can do the same....

Pay in the military depends upon your rank and, in some cases, your trade. SOme trades like MP and SAR tech get extra pay because of the nature of their jobs which means that, for example, an MP Corporal gets paid $59,200 a year while a regular Corporal gets $53,000 a year. More to your point, as an MP who has been serving now for 24 years I get approx $76,000 while most civilian police get that at about the 4 year mark. And to dispell a few more misconceptions that you and/or others may have: - military members DO NOT get free housing; - military members DO NOT get their pay tax free (unless they are deployed to an overseas theater of operations like Afghanistan) - military members DO NOT get tax free booze and cigarettes - military members DO NOT get their pensions for life. Once we his 65 our pensions are clawed back by the same amount of old age pension we get. As the only members of Canadian society this happens to it means that our pension plan, mandated by the federal government, screw us. - military members DO NOT get cared for for life if we are injured in battle. While we are forced to pay into an insurance plan any benifits we get from that plan, when injured in battle, are reduced by any supplemental payments the military gives us which means we are forced to pay into a plan we can't collect from. - military members DO NOT get to claim employment insurance benefits upon leaving the military which is yet again another plan we are forced to pay into but that we can't collect from or use. Why do we do it you may ask...a deep love of country and desire to help and protect others. And the end of the day however, a cop in Canada makes more then most members of the military.

hi it depends on what you need to find out about your tax code as some of it will be explainable over the net and other aspects you'll need to call the inland revenue for. the purpose of tax codes are so your employer or pension provider can calculate the amount of tax to deduct from your pay or pension. If you have the wrong tax code you could end up paying too much or too little tax. there are quite a few tax codes: L - is used if you are eligible for the basic personal allowance. P - is used if you are aged 65 to 74 and eligible for the full personal allowance. K - is used when your total allowances are less than your total 'deductions' V - is used if you are aged 65 to 74, eligible for the full personal allowance and the full married couple's allowance (for those born before 6 April 1935 and aged under 75) and estimated to be liable at the basic rate of tax. Y - is used if you are aged 75 or over and eligible for the full personal allowance. T - is used if there are any other items HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) needs to review in your tax code, or if you ask HMRC not to use any of the other tax code letters listed above. BR - is used when all your income is taxed at the basic rate - currently 22 per cent (most commonly used for a second job). D0 - is used when all your income is taxed at the higher rate of tax - currently 40 per cent (most commonly used for a second job), NT - is used when no tax is to be taken from your income or pension How tax codes are worked out Step one Your tax allowances are added up (in most cases this will just be your personal allowance and any blind person's allowance, in some cases it may include certain job expenses). Step two Income you've not paid tax on (for example untaxed interest or part-time earnings) and any taxable employment benefits are added up. Step three The total amount of income you've not paid any tax on (called 'deductions') is taken away from the total amount of tax allowances. The amount you are left with is the total of tax-free income you are allowed in a year. Step four To arrive at your tax code the amount of tax-free income you are left with is divided by 10 and added to the letter which fits your circumstances. Example: The tax code 117L means: you are entitled to the basic personal allowance £1,170 must be taken away from your total taxable income. How the 'K code' works If your deductions (untaxed income on which tax is still due) are more than your allowances you'll be given a K code, to ensure you pay tax on the excess. The excess tax due is divided by 10 and added to the letter K. So, whereas with other tax codes the number indicates the amount of income you can have tax-free, the number in a K code indicates how much must be added to your taxable income. K code example K497 means: your untaxed income was £4,970 greater than your tax-free allowances as a result, £4,970 must be added to your total taxable income to ensure the right amount of tax is collected. Where to find your tax code If you're employed or between jobs Your tax code is written on your P45 (given to you by your employer when you stop working for them). This is why it's very important to give this to your new employer when you change jobs. If you've lost your P45 and want to find out your tax code contact your tax office and give them your National Insurance number and tax reference number. If you're starting your first job If you're starting your first job and don't have a P45, your employer will give you a P46 to fill in and sign. Your employer will allocate a tax code and work out the tax due. We will process your P46 and, where necessary, revise your tax code. If you've paid too much tax, your employer will make the necessary repayment. (If the tax year has ended before this is worked out, then we will make the repayment.) If you haven't paid enough tax your tax code can be amended to collect the underpaid tax. If you get a company or personal pension You'll find your tax code on your 'notice of coding' sent to you by your tax office after the start of each tax year (and at other times if your tax code changes). You'll also find your tax code on notices and payslips from you pension provider. Contact details for all tax offices Changes that might affect your tax code You must keep us informed of any change in your circumstances, for example if: you get married, form a civil partnership or separate and either of you was born before 6 April 1935 you start to receive a second income the amount of untaxed income you get increases or reduces. If you do not do this you could end up paying the wrong amount of tax. If we change your tax code, you should receive a ‘notice of coding’ from your tax office. Keep all notice of coding letters for reference in case you have any questions or need to check you are paying the right level of tax. the link below is to locate you local tax office if you have more queries

I do not want to run as a republican or democrat i want to create my own party, the peopl'es populist party (ppp) economics: •the ppp advocates for a flat income tax of 20% because it is proportional and fair. a flat tax is simple and transparent and would raise more revenue than what is collected now. •ppp holds true that the majority of products used in the us must be made within our borders to foster employment. the outsourcing of jobs must be stopped immediately, countries like china and india should instead build their own industries to compete in the global economy, not depend on our private sector to enjoy economic growth. the ppp wants measures enacted that would begin a gradual increase of tariffs and restrictions on imports from products of us companies who manufacture more than 30% of their products in foreign nations. american people using american products is our ideal. •replacing nafta and dr-cafta with one agreement called afta (american free trade agreement), which would include all current countries and those who wish to enter. all countries would follow set provisions. •creating an enormous diverse workforce is the top priority, no one should be unemployed. •sale taxes and state taxes should be strictly regulated by states. healthcare •create a plan to work with main hospitals in all 50 us states. we would pay a determined amount of money (1 million-2 billion annually depending on the population of their area, size of the facility and amount of physicians) to those hospitals and clinics that go under the plan to provide services to those families whose net income is under 65,000 and do not have private insurance through their employer. the plan would exclude care for illegal aliens. •all children under the age of 18 will be covered fully, including prescription medicines; children of illegal aliens will be excluded. •create a plan to work with prescription companies to subsidize prescription formulas to create generics of all medicine on the market. •prescription medicines to treat an illness should be covered in full for all people over the age of 65, are retired and who do not have a wage of more than 65,000. •support state programs with federal funding which provide aid to families that can not afford prescription medicines. education •work with the secretary of education to create a team to devise a database where schools that need federal funding are specifically targeted. •recognize the importance of reform at a local level, such as legislation to prohibit cell phone use in school. as well as legislation to make contracts with broadband companies. •increase funding for states that limit public education students who are born only to legal aliens/citizens. •increase funding for states that have a voucher system in place. voucher systems force public schools to compete and improve the way they operate. •create a program where high school students who qualify can receive a loan at a very low interest rate. immigration •the ppp supports immigrants who abide by us immigration laws. we also recognize that the system should be less strenuous for those applying for visas and residency. i also support a lottery system, where screened applicants can participate. •build a tall technologically advanced border with barbwire all along the border. •detonate tunnels known for drug trafficking. •place more border patrol agents and troops in certain dangerous points of the border. •double the size of ice and increase the amounts of raids by 95% in all us states. •place enormous fines on employers of illegal aliens; force them to verify the status of applicants. •pass a law that limits us citizenship to children born to legal residents/citizens. •deport all prisoners that are illegal aliens to their country of origin. pass a law that will force the deportation of illegal aliens and their families no more than 72 hours after their capture.

Eu (european union) countries report that 46% of their labor force is female. the united nations wants to determine if the percentage of females in the u.s. labor force is the same. based on a sample of 500 employment records, representatives from the united states department of labor find that 240 are female. what is the margin of error for the 95% confidence interval of the proportion of females in the u.s. labor force? answer 0.089 0.036 0.044 0.056 0.022 in a metal fabrication process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. suppose that the lengths are normally distributed. a quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet. the 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this process is answer 14.345 to 15.255 ft. 13.912 to 15.688 ft. 14.454 to 15.146 ft. 13.834 to 15.766 ft. 14.544 to 15.056 ft. a manufacturer of cheese filled ravioli supplies a pizza restaurant chain. based on data collected from its automatic filling process, the amount of cheese inserted into the ravioli is normally distributed. to make sure that the automatic filling process is on target, quality control inspectors take a sample of 25 ravioli. the correct value of to construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean amount of cheese filling is answer 2.797 1.318 2.060 1.711 2.787 insurance companies track life expectancy information to assist in determining the cost of life insurance policies. abi insurance randomly sampled 100 recently paid policies and determined the average age of clients in this sample to be 77.7 years with a standard deviation of 3.6. the 90% confidence interval for the true mean age of its life insurance policy holders is answer 74.1 to 81.3 years 77.1 to 78.3 years 72.5 to 82.9 years 76.87 to 80.33 years 74.5 to 80 years abi insurance wants to estimate the average life expectancy to within one year with 95% confidence. previous studies have shown the mean age life expectancy of its clients to be 78.6 with a standard deviation of 4.48 years. how many randomly selected recently paid policies would they need to sample to achieve the desired level of accuracy? answer 78 121 83 98 54

I wish to answer ONLY one question The following formulae will help you to answer the remaining questions. You can try yourself. Confidence interval for the population parameter is sample statistic +/- Margin of error Margin of error = z or t critical value corresponding to the level of confidence*standard error of the sample statistic standard error of mean = standard deviation / sqrt sample size standard error of proportion = sqrt (p*(1-p)/n) Answer to 4th question. 90% Confidence interval for the population mean (Mu) is 77.7 +/- 1.645*3.6/sqrt 100 77.7 +/- 0.6 The confidence interval is (77.7-0.6 , 77.7+0.6) i.e. (77.1, 78.3) CHOICE (b) is the answer
