Health Subsidies

M V asked:


What right does an employee have for lunch break, health benefit, and 401K plans? A company located in the contract said that that an employee will get health benefits within 90 days and have not filled this promise. There is over 400 employees and are not provide or given lunch break if they have too many calls coming in. They have broken chairs as well. What should we do and is there laws that would help us out? We have not even been told that will could enroll into 401k plan or pension plans?

Can I owe a former employer for medical benefits I received?
I left a job over a year ago that was commisioned based. Today I received a letter telling me that I owed them money for my benefits. My earnings didn’t cover my cost of deductions for my benefits.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me. Am I obligated to pay them?

My husband will become eligible for COBRA health insurance soon. One of the points of the new stimulus law Obama signed concerns a 60% subsidy to go toward paying that premium. Does anyone know when that will go into effect?

According to the news more vets returning from Iraq are from rural areas.Some have to travel hundreds of miles to get to a Vet Hospital.Why hasnt the government abolished those places and given the Vets who gave their all for our country the equivalent to an insurance card good at any hospital? 1.It would be closer access for them and their medical needs. 2.It would be a better standard for our ailing vets for recieving healthcare. Anyone else have anything to add?

I live in NJ and I was working for a private partial care agency. My employer claimed to pay an “allowance” of my health insurance benefit, however I found out she was not paying any of it and I was paying all of it out of my paycheck (I have already resigned). My question is: if an employer offers health insurance benefits do they lawfully have to pay a portion of it? Keep in mind that when I was offered the position it was under the pretense that she would be paying a portion, however I was curious if it is a law that they have to pay some if it is offered.

My aunt lives in California. She wants to sell her home. She owes about 11k on it. The rest of the equity is all hers. She had ****** cancer back in the 90’s and the state gave her health insurance for this. At the time she did not own the home. Now she wants to sell and is wondering if the state can collect any money back form her due to medical expenses. I have checked and there is no lien on the property.
