Jackie,

Though I can't answer you questions, maybe Carl or someone else can.

Sometimes when we have new members or at times old, that uses a

subject title that has been used it's fascinating to see some of the

old posts that come up with it. This one from Dr.Lipsey that your

are responding to is from 2002 and alot of things have changed since

then and I'm sure his recommendations/opinions has changed since

then.

ryanx,

Maybe you can give us a little more information and if you don't want

to post it publicly you can email me. How many others are getting sick

and has there been any discussion between employer and employees? Is

there any visual water damage? Is there any odors? Do you feel better

when you leave the building? There are many things that can cause a

reaction or other physicial conditions. Is there any visual mold

growth? There can also be bacteria, asbestos, other fragnances like

air fresheners, etc., that can also be an irritant.

There is really no simple answers, if there is one. So you or your

employer might want to consider having the place tested. The air vents

being filthy is not a good sign. Obviously maintance is lacking.

LOL...When I was getting ready to respond to the new member's post, I

saw that one and I thought I had not seen it but figured I missed

it!!! LOL!!

When I was new to , I use to start at the very first post

and read every post. Now I am a member of 85 plus groups and

moderating a few, I don't have time to do that anymore!! Plus as you

just stated, so much change in a few short years.

Stacey,

You need to have someone clean the insides and outsides of those vents and

especially, wherever that air is coming from, like an old dirty air

conditioner or fan unit. Those units usually have filters that need

changing. Don't do this yourself. And make sure that the dust that is

liberated when this is done is cleaned up WELL, because it could make your

health much worse.

If you have a bad feeling about this, and have other options, the best thing

you can do is leave.

You should start looking for another job if you can.

If you have been there a long time and there are pension issues, etc. then

you

will probably want to fight. But don't be naiive. Document every health

issue you have and make sure they go into your

medical records.

See if others in your office are having similar health problems. Trade phone

numbers and non-work email addresses in case people get fired and you don't

have time to say goodye.

Often employers do fire people for bringing these issues up. They aren't

always that way, though. Use your intuition. Regardless, its always best to

get documentation of the situation sonner rather than later, when it may be

too late. Which means photos, test results, etc. if there is mold you can

see you can do 'tape lifts' to collect spores and other material and labs

can analyze that to give you a very general idea of what kinds of mold are

there. It costs around $35 a sample, typically. To do this you ideally

should have a disinterested third party do the sample collection, and then

fill out the labs special 'chain of custody form' and mail in the sample FOR

you, but if you don't ever have a possibility of needing to use this in

court you could do it yourself (that would be the thing to do if you were

the boss, and there was no possibility of your ever needing to sue yourself

for firing you.)

To collect samples, you need to get several clean, new ziplock bags and some

CLEAR scotch tape and lightly collect the mold on the tape by pressing it to

the mold growth so that the tape is covered with it, then opening the bag

and pressing the tape to the inner side of the bag. One piece of mold

covered tape per bag. Seal it shut. Mark each bag with a permanent marker

with the date and time of the sample collected inside, Send the entire thing

(bag and tape) to the lab.

Janet,

I can understand what you are going through. My employer sent me a

letter yesterday stating I must make a decision by tomorrow whether or

not I stay on as a demoted part-timer or quit. So, tomorrow by 2:00PM

(PDT) I will formally be terminated from my job. The job I loved more

than ever before. Hang in there and God bless you.

In His Service,

Young<><

ank you for replying. absolutely, i feel much better out of the building. I

have two coworkers that have been chronically ill as well. Both are keen to the

fact the vents are filthy. I requested a cleaning today from facilities dept

today. going to see if they do the job. i also learned today that the vents

and ducts have never been cleaned, this is a 40 yr old building...no visual mold

growth. but the vents are blowing into the air constantly whatever is inside.

you can visually see the dust when the sum makes a beam through the building.

Hi Geri,

I'd say get a new attorney and see what the statue of limitations is

on the papers, or maybe a 3rd year law student can help. If you didn't agree to

the terms or sign the papers, how can they be valid? Also, you may be entitled

to extra $ from Social Security based on your Ex's work, dead or alive.

See http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10127.html#12 or call your local Social

Security office.

If you are divorced:

If you have never asked Social Security about receiving benefits

based on your ex-husband's work, you should do so. Many women get a

higher benefit based on their ex-husband's work, especially if he is

deceased. When you apply, you will need to give his Social Security

number. If you do not know his number, you will need to provide his

date and place of birth and his parents' names.

The following requirements also apply to your divorced husband if his

eligibility for benefits is based on your work.

If your ex-husband is living—

If you are divorced, you can receive benefits based on your ex-

husband's work if—

Your marriage lasted 10 years or longer;

You are unmarried;

You are age 62 or older;

The benefit you are entitled to receive based on your own work is

less than the benefits you would receive on your husband's work; and

Your ex-husband is entitled to Social Security retirement or

disability benefits. If he has not applied for benefits, but can

qualify for them and is age 62 or older, you can receive benefits on

his work if you have been divorced from him for at least two years.

If your ex-husband is deceased, you can receive benefits—

At age 60, or age 50 if you are disabled, if your marriage lasted at

least 10 years, and you are not entitled to a higher benefit on your

own record.

At any age if you are caring for his child who also is your natural

or legally adopted child and younger than 16 or disabled and entitled

to benefits. Your benefits will continue until the child reaches age

16 or is no longer disabled. You can receive this benefit even though

you were not married to your ex-husband for 10 years.

My Ex is a federal worker so he just gets a pension not SS...I don't have any

money for a Att....one sends to me Minnesota and Minnesota sends me back to

Ill.for advice...I don't have enough credits for my work record.

Geri

[Guest guest]

Dear Geri,

I can not give you tax, legal, or financial advice.  I do have a few

suggestions-

Firstly, 

Generally, pensions are divided at the time of divorce under what's called a

" qualified domestic relations order " (QDRO). This is a legal document that

directs the pension plan administrator to divide the pension pursuant to the

terms of a divorce decree. QDROs can be prepared in a variety of different ways,

as long as they comply with the company's pension plan guidelines and conform

with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) portion of the Internal

Revenue Tax Code. The non-participant spouse is usually entitled to the same

rights under the plan as the participant spouse, such as cost-of-living

adjustments and early withdrawal options, and is eligible to receive his or her

share of the ex-spouse's benefits when the ex-spouse is entitled to receive

them.

2nd, call the local Women's Center in the city of your divorce and ask for their

help.

3rd, if they can not help call Legal Aid in that city.

4th, get the Court reference number (in TX this is called the Cause #)of your

divorce case and call the clerk of courts in the family law division of the

county court and request your documents(there is a charge) but this may be the

only way to see what the judge ordered at the time of your divorce and what

documents were completed.

5th, call the pension plan with your x's information and your divorce documents

in front of you and request information regarding payment amount etc from plan. 

In addition ask them what documents they have and what rules are you to follow.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kim and thank you...!

I will be working on this tomorrow...I had a very bad Att. He also has CMT and

thought he would understand me and my disability...but guess not! I'm just sick

over everything thing now I must fight for what belongs to me...I get so nervous

over things like this! If I had the funds and could travel it would help but

there is no way! I pray I can find someone that can help me...I'll let you know

what I find out!

Blessings,

Contact Novartis Pharmaceutical for help. If her doctor wants her to start on

this medication immediately, and if she has no insurance or money to pay for it

she can fill out the necessary forms to get help directly from Novartis.

We have been in contact with Novartis looking for help with co-pay aid. They

called me yesterday and they want us to apply with the LLS or PSI first, if they

don't help, Novartis said to call them back.
