My mom is able to sign paper work due to a stroke from COVID-19 in February 2022 her nursing home wants me to sign paper work I don't understand

answered on Dec 19, 2022
I would imagine the paperwork is standard admission documents, financial documents, and likely advanced care directive documents. If your mom is going into a nursing home and had a stroke, you should likely setup a trust or will if you have not already for her, and you should probably work on... View More
Hello
Even though as of today those various COVID mask requirements and executive orders in Minnesota have expired, can someone be still fined, if for example this person was recorded and identified on video visiting a bar or restaurant without a mask back in 2020, during 'Peacetime... View More

Because Minnesota Statutes §609.735 CONCEALING IDENTITY, appears to make wearing a mask "to prevent spread of disease" (as opposed to "medical treatment"), in public, a crime; I would challenge any attempt to enforce an "executive order" to the contrary. I've... View More
I fell off some stairs at my second job back in June 2022 and I never got paid for the days I worked and was told by employer that since my injury was my fault they were not going to pay for my medical bills nor my missed wages.

The Arizona workers' compensation system is a "no fault" system. That means that an injured worker is entitled to claim benefits even if the accident was their "fault" (or part their fault). You have one year from the date of injury to file a claim for benefits with the... View More

You're fighting a losing battle. The Supreme Court of the United States has, on multiple occasions, rejected challenges to NYC's vaccine mandate for municipal employees. A challenge to a mandate requiring CUNY students to be vaccinated for in-person learning would likely meet the same... View More

In the absence of a written employment agreement to the contrary, employment in Texas (and in most US states) is at-will. That means you can resign for almost any reason. It is almost certain that your former employer will not pursue any claims against you under the circumstances.

If you have no assets or taxable income (for example you are on SSI), or very low income, Chapter 7 may be a good option. Alternatively settling the credit card debts individually may be a good option especially by doing so you may be able to damage your credit less, as a bankruptcy will remain on... View More

No. The covid emergency orders explicitly stated that you could NOT do this. If she is doing this in violation of a parenting order then you can file a motion to show cause.
The second one due to having covid. It took ages to reschedule that second interview. Now they want evidence for why I missed the second one, but I never went to the doctor and don't have evidence. I think it might be faster to withdraw my I-130 and re-apply. Can I do that.?

answered on Oct 22, 2022
Was there a concurrent adjustment of status application filed by your husband? If so, withdrawing could be costly both in terms of money and time. If this was a stand-alone I-130 petition, they don’t usually call for interview unless there is an issue with your personal background as the... View More

No one can force you to resign. Resignation is a voluntary act by you. However your employer can terminate you if you refuse to do what is required of you, including getting boosted. You would not have a meritorious legal claim if you are fired because you refused to follow the company's... View More

There is something odd about this situation. Usually those who file for an I-539 extension are not required to do biometrics. I sense that the wrong form was filed out, but more information is needed!

It is illegal to retaliate against you for taking a protected medical leave, such as taking away your shifts or giving you less desirable shifts. If you have paid sick leave or your employer has at least 5 employees, your short term medical leave is likely protected.

In theory, you may be eligible to collect your Covid sick pay retroactively; however, the exact answer will depend on the timeframe you worked for your former employer and whether your employer is subject to the 2022 COVID Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Law.
