Does anyone know if any financial assistance is available for single women in Maryland for maternity leave? I am employed, but my employer does not pay anything and I did not have short term diability insurance. I applied but would not be covered since I was already pregnant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have to have a hysterectomy, and have no health insurance. My husband’s income is "too much" for us to qualify for any kind of state insurance. We do receive a sliding scale at my doctor’s office (they take 25% off my bill). Is there any kind of financial aid out there to help families that don’t qualify for medicaid? I won’t die without the surgery, but raising the money will take me at least a year, and I’m already in a great deal of pain. Any ideas would be extremely helpful! Thanks much!
Other than citizens, should people on H,F,J visas, permanent residents, etc be allowed to apply for financial assistance? What if they pay taxes like "everybody else"?
Examples:
1. A permanent or temporal resident has an accident and the hospital bills are really high (even with insurance).
2. A permanent or temporal resident gets pregnant (assuming not on purpose, no method is 100% effective) and needs help with the bills.
3. A permanent or temporal resident wants to get a better education.
4. A permanent or temporal resident wants to create a non-profit organization.
Just in case, I am talking about legal residents in some country (not necessarily the US).
"Someone has agreed to sponsor and be responsible for them."
"Without sponsorship, they would not be here."
Not always true, I know at least 20 cases where it is not true. Please think before posting!
"Paying taxes is part of being/working in the US."
What are taxes for? Part of it is destined to financial assistance. I always hear, "I am an American and I do not want my money being used to help foreigners" That is just as logical as "I am a non-American and do not want my money being used to help Americans"; for me they are both silly. I have multiple citizenship and would like a less selfish world. But I said that I was not referring to any country in particular; read before posting!
"If you dont like it, leave!"
That is just as stupid as saying "If you don’t like the world, leave!". People can simply change the law. "If somebody doesn’t like it change it", that seems a more intelligent answer (not mine).
"they are NOT allowed to take it since they have a sponser set up that agreed to take financial resposibility for them."
Not always true (specially for temporal residents), I know at least 20 cases. All of them having approved financial assistance.
They ask me for "moral advise" (when they are not sure if it is the right thing to do) and I tell them ask the people in charge of giving financial assistance. They are usually told "that is why you pay taxes".
For example, there is a couple that has paid a total of about 200000 in taxes.
"NO! If you already have an opinion or know the answer to your question, please think before asking! This is a rant/chat and a violation of community guidelines…"
Everybody has opinions and answers. I simply stated facts for opinions based on incorrect assumptions that are not helpful to find the correct answer. I wanted to hear your reasons based on intelligent criteria, not based on incorrect assumptions. That is NOT
a rant/chat or a violation of community guidelines by any means. Think and read before posting please!
I get Financial Assistance aka free care, becuase I don’t have any insurance. What will Obama’s Health Care do to free care if it passes?
I basically got a "full-ride" with the exeption of room and board/medical insurance/ books and supplies. Is this because scholarships/grants don’t cover these expenses. If i get outside scholarships to pay for these expenses will my other awards be reduced- and basically end up being the same thing? Any useful info is appreciated, thanks!
A relative wants to put life insurance benefits from a deceased family member in my kids’ names. I’m worried that whatever amount it might be, it will interfere with their ability to receive financial aid for college later, which they certainly will need. Should I ask him to put it in my husbands’ and my names?
I am low income and do not have health insurance, and I am wondering what hospitals offer financial assistance for surgery in the Boston, MA area? The surgery I need is about ,000 and I know I cannot afford that, and I’m not even sure if a hospital would operate if it wasn’t life threatening? I’ve just never been without insurance, so this is a brand new thing to me…
In searching Pell Grant and such, application state I will need w2’s. Well I will not have the same financial situation I had last year and up until August 2009! I don’t know what to do, please help? We have a little insurance money but If I use all that for college for my 2 girls, I won’t have anything for my retirement. Scared.
Im looking to see if there is any financial assistance program for asthmatic children. My children had insurance until the job decided; more laying off people or out with the insurance? and out went the insurance.
Let’s say I’m eligible for a 4,000$ grant, and also eligible to receive an academic scholarship of about 3,000$ a year. I’m planning on going to a college that will cost me around 5,000$ a year.
Will the scholarship affect the amount of grant money I get? If it doesn’t, will I be able to spend the rest of the money on something other than college related, such as car insurance, gas etc.
