If you have a defaulted Student Loan and file joint taxes with your spouse and the Taxes are on a offset list because of a defaulted Student Loan, the government will take the tax return from both of you. Here is the catch to this, to get some of the tax money back you can file for an injured spouse and receive some of the money back or to avoid this all together you can simply take your defaulted student loan out of default with an Income Contigent Consolidation offered by Direct Loans, what this allows you to do is get your Defaulted Student Loan out of Default in as little as 45 to 60 days and the payment is based on your income, they keep in consideration your expenses such as housing, utilities, food and child care expenses, how many children you have and base your payment on whats left over it figures to be about 4 to 5%. By doing this it will allow for all your rights and entitlements to be reinstated as far as forebearences, deferrments and financial aid if you want to go back to school. This shows on your credit report as a paid off loan and is replaced with an open account that is receiving payments. I was a collector for many years for The California Student Aid Commision as well as Higher Education lenders, I have taken my knowledge and expertise and implemented in my Comapny Circle City Credit Advocates based out of Indianapolis, IN. By taking your Student Loan out of default, not only are you avoiding tax offsets and possible Federal Wage garnishment but you are saving a ton of money on Interest, Collection Cost and penalties alone. There is other programs that are offered as well like The Federal Loan Rehabilitaion Program which is a nine month program but until you complete that program you are still elgible to have Tax Offsets. A Defaulted Student Loan acumilates interest at 12 to 14%. A Income Contigent Consolidation even you have an inability to pay at the current time only has an interest rate of 5%. I hope this satisfied your question. If you are in need of assistance you can visit http://CircleCityCredit.com or simply call 317-574-0567. Dan Smith

What is us security clearance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anyone working in a classified Government or Military program is required to have an active security clearance for the level of security they're working at (Secret, Top Secret, TSC, etc.). The clearances are updated every several years by updating background investigations. However, once the person leaves that position, their clearance becomes inactive.

In the military, clearances are granted and usually maintained by the member as long as they're in, as clearance levels are generally assigned to specific job types and ranks (officers generally hold TS clearances). For example, as a submariner, I was required to have a minimum Secret clearance just to be a part of the crew, but my specific job required specific instances of temporary TS clearance.

When inactive, a past clearance can be reactivated (depending on the time between jobs) should a person take another job requiring one. This is why Veterans who held clearances while on active duty are typically hired by defense contractors over those who've never held one - the company only has to pay for the BI update (or nothing if it's recently been held), as opposed to a complete BI for someone whose never had one (which can take up to a year, meaning they can't be assigned to classified work).

What is your national dept as of today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The amount of national debt owed by our country (presumably United States) is around $11 trillion. To whom is the government to pay back the debt to? There are many entities that lend money to the US government. The most obvious ones are foreign countries such as China and Japan. The US government issues bond certificates to these countries, its an agreement to the countries lending the money that US will pay back the money loaned. Citizens also can give money to their government by buying bonds which will pay back interest depending on the time of maturity (that is for however many years you will let the government keep that money). Another way US government accumulates debt is by borrowing from the Federal Reserve at an interest. One might say how can the government borrow money from itself. Well, the "Federal" Reserve isn't really "FEDERAL". Its a private institution that came into existence in 1913. The head of Federal Reserve is appointed by the President but all decisions are made by group of private individual in secrecy. Ever since the financial coup of the US by "Federal" Reserve, our debt has been steadily increasing in part by the interest accumulated over the amount borrowed. This debt can not be ever paid off in practice until the power to create and regulate money is restored to the government and "Federal" Reserve is abolished.

Exactly what is a gynecologist's job?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A gynecologist is a medical doctor who has specialized in issues regarding a woman's reproductive system (ovaries, uterus, vagina) and often in conditions regarding urinary tract issues, such as stress incontinence. This second specialization may overlap the work aurologist does. Gynecologists are trained to evaluate, recognize and treat potential disease of the reproductive system, and are also trained surgically to perform surgeries like hysterectomies, (removal of the uterus). Women who are eighteen, or younger if they are sexually active, should see a gynecologist yearly to be evaluated for conditions like cervical cancer.

Many gynecologists are not only expert in women's health issues but are also obstetricians. This means they may help women who are having reproductive issues and also oversee the care of pregnant women, and are present for the birth of children. They not only aid in labor and delivery, but can perform cesarean sections, induce labor, halt premature labor, or perform any other treatment required before, during or immediately after a woman has given birth. Some obstetricians specialize in working with women who have high-risk pregnancies, and others are trained in neonatology so they can address the needs of newborns and pregnant moms.
