^^^That's what they say, but the laws are changing so quickly now that it's hard to keep up with what will happen.

I got my first "check" today. They are now saying the first $2500 (something like that) will be tax free. That is less than 2 month's worth for me.

COBRA changes will be nice, although the administrators have no idea what to do with it. The 65% reduction for the first 9 months goes into effect for the March payment. March is the first month that I'm required to pay it. I had to pay the full amount today (ugh!), but am supposed to have the 65% either refunded or credited to future months. Knowing my TPA (Wells Fargo), it's going into the black hole.

Speaking of black hole, that is where my WIA money is now. There was a fire at the school where I'm to attend and my paperwork is on the desk of the Academic Advisor. She can't get back into the office until Thursday of this week.

PJ, you will love this tale of Government Red Tape.... Because the classes I'm taking are actually through a Legal company, that is where I need to purchase my books (about $500 worth). WIA is willing to cover the books, but only through the campus book store. We need to have the campus book store buy them from the company, then charge the government a premium to make their profit. Of course, approval on that is also caught up in the real fire that happened, and I have no idea if I will have books in time for my class that begins in 2 weeks.

Amazing!

The genius of the Department of Labor hurts my brain.
