James P. asked
I was employed by the US Department of Defense and was injured at work in August 2010. I began receiving social security retirement income in 2011 at the age of 66. In 2011, I also began receiving worker's compensation benefits for doctor visits and surgeries related to my accident at work. OWCP has demanded that I pay them $33,000, claiming they overpaid me because there should have been an offset due to my receiving social security retirement. I have been trying to research this and keep getting information that there would only be an offset required if I were receiving social security disability but not social security retirement. Is the OWCP correct or is the fact that what I have been receiving from social security purely retirement keep me from being held to the offset they are claiming?

A person who receives only social security retirement benefits is not subject to the offset at all. ...

I am concerned about mortgage liability on a property my former husband and I purchased during our marriage, which was to be his according to our divorce agreement. The property was bought in both our names, and I was told that signing a quitclaim deed would not release me from the mortgage liability. Additionally, if my former husband dies, his children would inherit the property while I remain liable for the mortgage. My former husband claims he has a life insurance policy to cover the mortgage if he dies, but I want to ensure this is true and find a way to lessen or eliminate my risk. What can I do?

I am planning to do multiple records requests from the local county park district. I want to request the GPS coordinates of all white ash trees they claim to have cut down and intend to cut down in the future, the total amount spent on cutting down these trees in the past five to ten years, and the names, position titles, and salaries of the five employees they claimed to have been forced to fire due to funding cuts. Do I need to ask for each year separately for the tree-cutting expenses, and who was paid and how much per tree?
