Hey so whats the scoop on the fishie story? LOL

Oh, about 6-8? Can't remember... As many scoops as it took to scoop the
dead fishes out of the tank lol
Still no word, really... Promises of paying for and replacing the fish,
yet
a sad sob-story about how someone stole her gov't cheque for her Child
Tax
Credit - around $400ish.

If she is on welfare , she is so lying to your face Kat! She would not
be getting any child tax credit , you have to work to receive that !
Bev

Ummmmmmmmm Nope... Been there done that... They don't touch the child tax
credit benefit at all... They actually give you MORE because you are
considered a low income family...



But, she did have the balls the other day to call and see if I was going
to
be home and she could stop by... Luckily for me, and the remainder of the
fish, we had to go to the school for this celebration of learning thing

hehehe

She is on welfare, and I know that the Canadian Child Tax is now given
only
to low income - working or not. the child tax credit is not considered
an
income when on welfare, and if you work, and have a higher income, but
are
still considered low income, you just get less. Welfare is actually
the way
you are guaranteed to have the credit in full.
My mom said that she used to get the credit for me when I was a baby,
and my
parents didn't fall under the low income category, but that changed to
only
being lower income and it's based on your income. Back in the day,
everyone
received it for their child(ren) but that's been changed long ago.

Ahhhhh I see........I dont think it works that way in Pa or
Jersey.....at least it didn't many moons ago! Interesting .............


and I just had another thought....Isn't that a federal credit? I would
think it would be the same for all States then.......I must look into
this cause I am just that way , I didn't think you could file an income
tax return with no taxable income, er or is this a state child tax
credit in Canada, I may have just set myself straight LOL! But then
again I still thought you couldn't file a State return with no taxable
income either ....hmmmmm.........

Canadian welfare is very much different than the states... I was going to
mention that



But, she did have the balls the other day to call and see if I was
going
to
be home and she could stop by... Luckily for me, and the remainder

fish, we had to go to the school for this celebration of learning
