Is it standard practice for a large company to raise starting pay for new hires but not raise current employees' pay to match?

Unfortunately, it does seem that way sometimes. There is always a difference between starting salaries and pay for experienced employees, but sometimes the former rises more quickly than the latter. This is called salary compression, and it happens. Is it standard practice? Look at it this way: Companies try to make a profit. This means selling for the highest possible price while keeping expenses as low as possible. Employee pay is an expense, and companies try to keep it down. So they don't pay you what you would like to earn, or what you think you're worth. They pay you the minimum amount to keep you, or to keep someone with your skills. That's the free market, like it or not. If you think your pay is too low, you can quit and take a job where the pay is better. If the pay isn't better anywhere else, then I guess you stay. The problem with this supposedly free-market system is that most large companies set their pay by surveying the competition, i.e. other companies that employ people like you, and setting pay scales to match. When this is done with sales prices, it's called a cartel or monopolistic practices and it's illegal in many countries. When it's done on the expense side with employee salaries, it's considered a normal way of doing business and you're trapped. Sorry.

If your husband has end stage liver disease and he receives Social Security payments can you get paid for taking care of your husband?

No, it is assumed that one spouse will care for the other during illness or troubled times.

What happens when a person is on Social Security Disability and cannot pay their credit card debt?

A person being on SSD or other disability benefits does not mean they cannot be pursued for collection of debt owed, including being sued by the creditor. SSD, RRB and private disability benefits are exempt from creditor garnishment. Neither can a bank account containing such benefits be levied, but it is extremely important that exempt funds are not commingled with non exempt funds to prevent the "freezing" of an account held by the debtor. Although SSD is not subject to judgment execution, the debtor may have other assets (such as real property) that can be attached by a judgment creditor if a lawsuit is pursued. Anyone who is sued or believe they may be sued for debt should become informed of their judgment status in order to protect as much personal and real property as possible. Most attorneys offer free or minimal fee consultation to discuss options. All state bar associations and the American Bar Association offer a free attorney referral service. ABA, http://www/abanet.org
