Feeling stressed about filling out the American Community Survey. What happens if I do not fill it out or just answer basic questions like the number of people in the household? I am in Florida and have already contacted my congressman and the sheriff for help. Is there a charge for legal advice?

I began taking Social Security benefits as a wife at age 65 and have since worked part-time while rolling over my California State Teachers Retirement System pension into an IRA. Social Security now considers this rollover a lump-sum distribution, reducing my benefits and requiring repayment of an overpayment. I have already repaid the overpayment but still receive reduced benefits. My questions are: 1) Can I appeal the overpayment decision? 2) If I redeposit my CALSTRS contributions and start taking the pension, can Social Security reverse the overpayment charges? 3) How will this affect my California Employment Development Department unemployment benefits?

I was denied the Volunteer Emergency Workers' Survivors Pension by the state of NJ despite a Municipal Township Resolution that is a requirement. My husband died in the cab of the fire truck while at a house fire due to a medical condition. The State Pension Board cited his medical condition as the reason for denial, even though there is nothing in the Bill (Chapter 134) that asks for any medical records. What should I do next?

A servicing company in Texas filed for foreclosure, but before a hearing date was set, it sold its servicing rights to another company. Will the motion be dropped, or will the new servicer become the plaintiff?

I filed a claim with Progressive insurance after a fender bender where I did not collect the other driver's information. I later experienced neck and back pain and want to visit a chiropractor. Progressive says they cannot approve or deny the claim without proof, such as a police report or the other driver's information. They also cannot confirm if the other driver has insurance. Should Progressive approve my claim despite the lack of proof?

My brother has a learning disorder and dropped out of college due to failing every class. The school did not provide the promised support program. Now, they are asking him to pay $8,000, which he cannot afford as he is unemployed and unable to find a job due to his disorder. What legal advice can you provide?
