HI, I work as a care provider in San
Francisco, CA. The lady i'm providing care
for Is suppose to being paying me half of
my income and the other half i get a check
from the state (IHSS). At first she was
paying me but later claimed that she was
having financial problems and that she
could pay me the full amount when she got
a refund back from the state. But she
recently told me she needs to keep most of
that refunded money, offering me only a
little, when i asked her to give me just
50percent, she changed her story and said
that she wasnt getting a refund at all,
and could pay me nothing.
She is on SSDI for back problems, im
pretty sure she has full medical coverage.
Is there a way i can find out if she is
getting a refund. also, does she need my
signature to get this refund. Im afraid
she is making money off of me, in addition
to the free care shes getting from me.
what are my options, i dont really want to
get her in trouble for fraud, so i want to
be sure that she can get a refund back,
before i do anything against her. please
reply anyone who has advise.

personally id get a lawyer to help back
me. and also get anything financial in
writing.----she might be trying to con
you--but then again---i see where you are
coming from. you deserve to get paid. so
tell her that if you dont get paid yoou
will have to take it further.

Contact the state and explain the
circumstances. I am not trying to be
unsympathetic, but find someone else who
WILL appreciate your kindness and
willingness to help. And.............do
not worry about getting her in trouble for
fraud. If she is being honest with you
there is nothing to worry about. If she
is not, then she needs to suffer the
consequences.
