[Nfbc-info] Questions Re: NFBC v Target Settlement Checks

Mon Jun 15 17:37:42 UTC 2009

For Clarification:

For those that only receive SSDI, do we have atime limit to spend this
money? I want to make sure that I do not get caught up with legalities. 

Thanks.

Hi,
This settlement is truly a God-send in that I will be able to use it towards
finally replacing my rotten, leaky roof!  Thanks for letting me know that it
had to be spent within one month, keeping receipts.  I am on SSI.  Does
anyone know what we would owe the IRS out of this?
Thanks,
Jennifer
