Benefits and Retirement?

My aunt is 63, still working, uncle 66, still working PT but receiving full SS benefits. He has recently been diagnosed with cancer. If he dies, and my aunt keeps working (she is working for the medical insurance), will she receive his death benefit, and will it be the same amout. She is worried about this, well in advance (we hope) and I just wanted to ease her mind a little. Thank you. ...

Does anyone know what happens to our 401K? ...

I'm not saying to stay on at a horrible job that you hate. Do something else if you need to, but retirement is not always as great as we've always told it would be. When I look around me, I see all the retired people wishing they had something to do, somewhere to go, and a little bit of money to spend. Their brains don't get a very good workout. Stay active! Don't retire unless you have to. ...

Just wondering if they offer a retirement packet. ...

MTs: I presently work for an outsource company which has sold its MT division to another outsource company. I will be 62 yo come January. I am to the point now of seriously thinking about taking early retirement and only working PT 20 hours a week. If I do that I would actually be making more money that way than I would be working the 50+ hours a week I do now. The thing that I am concerned about is I would have no health insurance unless I pay for it out of my own poc ...

Has anyone faced this problem? Worked at home many years in radiation oncology then because of by out from hospital I was transfered to medical transcription department for training. When I showed up for training I was told that they "didn't quite know what to do with me". Showed up for daily training only to be sent home because volume was low. Eventually, realized that they didn't want to train me so I decided to retire. Is there any recourse? ...

Thinking about taking early retirement and just working part time. I understand I can make a little over 14,000 without reduction in social security benefits. I would however have to purchase private insurance until I am old enough for Medicare. Anyone done this or have any input on it? ...

People talk about being on a fixed income as if it's a bad thing. After 4 pay cuts in 10 years and now facing a 3 cpl cut plus our annual Christmas pay cut, I would absolutely LOVE to be on a fixed income! ...

Is there a mandatory retirement age for employees and/or ICs working remotely in HIM? If so, is it federal, or does it differ by state? Need input on this with particular regard to Ohio and Florida, please. Thanks so much. ...

I transcribed for over 40 years, and when I do test now, I usually test up to 95%, and that is just not good enough even for a company I previously worked for that went outsourcing after freezing us out of work. I really loved transcribing and would do it again in a heartbear if I could get a good, steady part-time source. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thank you. I am in Glendale, AZ if that will help. ...

39 work days left at this God for saken company. Early retirement is more money before taxes even with the $200 penalty for taking early retirement. No more 65 hour work weeks between 2 jobs. Working part time, 25 hours, as a cashier and customer service rep in a gocery store and making more money than at MModal. 39 Work Days Left at MModal!!!!!!!!! If not sooner if I can afford it!!!!! ...

I'm thinking of going part time at my job so I can do something else on the side. However, I won't be able to have a 401K or PTO. I get medical and dental benefits through my husband's work, so that doesn't matter. For any part timers out there, what do you do to save for retirement? ...

Here are some pictures of that beautiful little island I have chosen to live out the rest of my days. Since you wanted to spend your remaining days there too, I thought you would want to see the pictures. As you can see there are plenty of huts to choose from, I'm not sure which kind I want yet, but I am favoring one of those huts that are in the water. I have also sent a picture of the island from an aerial view so you can see how small it is. I heard Bill gates gave aw ...

I've heard for maybe 10 years now that right now, 2010, is when vast numbers of MTs were supposed to hit retirement age and quit work. What is retirement age? I don't want to retire, but when does a person really need to retire even if they don't want to? ...

15 days and early retirement. Can't wait until I write my letter to MModal to tell them what I think of them--will not do any good and will probably give them a good laugh for the day. Used to love this job, but now HATE it. Social Security with penalty and working 25 hours making more money and will be the end of 65 hour work weeks to make ends meet. VIRTUAL RETIREMENT PARTY!!!!!! ...

Hi ladies, I have no work again today, so I had some time to do this. I live in the North and as I look out my window all I see is snow (measured in feet), and I really hate the winter. I thought it would cheer me up to post more pics of our retirement home. I must admit I did get a little carried away, and there will probably be another post with even more pics. I have included in these pics different huts, water, beach and inland, but I could not resist posting some pi ...

Does anyone know of any companies that have benefits available for part-time, even at a cost? I love my full-time IC position, but no benefits. I would be willing to work a part-time position and pay for health coverage, even if a majority of my pay went to covering it. Thanks! ...

Okay. Let's face it everybody, we don't qualify for the benefits because we are not being laid off. We are not being laid off because MQ hasn't said anything about laying us off. I have a call in the HR, and expect to get an answer today, but do you really think MQ is just going to start giving out letters saying we are in fact going to be laid off? Don't think so. Everybody, STOP. Stop hoping for benefits that will retrain us. I' ...

Need to have a job with benefits due to going through a divorce. Any companies out there still offering, medical, dental, vision, vacation and sick time these days? ...

Does anyone know when benefits end if I quit or get fired? End of month or immediate? Thanks ...

do you prefer IC or employee status? ...

Does anyone know what qualifies an employee to receive benefits at Acusis? I realize one needs to be a full-time employee, but I'm wondering what this entails. Do you have to produce so many lines or make so much money per pay period? Are they decent benes? Would appreciate any info. ...

I received my news benefits rate today - down another dollar from last time. Pretty soon I won't even be getting minimum wage. ...

Okay, I may be dense, the rest of you may have figured this out long ago! Many times I see comments here about people who cannot get enough work. Well, at my company, if there is a low volume of work and you cannot meet your line count you are placed on part-time status and cannot regain full-time status until you have met your commitment for 90 days. Yes, you lose your benefits....your health insurance, paid holidays, dental/vision, etc. Well, heck, look at the money the ...

Five years experience and especially experience in basic 4. Surely you jest! ...

If you return to MQ within 6 months of leaving, do you have to wait 90 days again for benefits to begin? Thanks. ...

Hello! I'm hoping someone will be able to answer this for me. Could someone tell me what the employee cost of family health insurance for TransTech is? Thanks so much! I hate to waste my time with applying and testing only to find out the insurance is too expensive! ...

I got "imported" from Spheris buy-out. Curious as to what happens w/ insurance when you don't meet min line counts. Am OOW @ least 2 days a wk now, and yes, I punch out on time clock. Can anyone help? Also, has anyone taken MME test, and if so, how bad is it? Thanks in advance. ...

Can someone please tell me what the cost of benefits are for a single person? Also, do you have 401K matching or anything like that? How much vacation after 5 years of employment? Thanks! ...

I'm a newer employee of 4 months and STILL trying to meet my full time status by making $900 a pay period. I really don't want to work more than 40 hours a week to do this. I am on BeyondTxt and about 3/4 of my work is Voice editing everyday. Can anyone tell me their experience with meeting this $900 goal? I really need benefits and am starting to wonder if this is realistic. I think there might be a straight typing platform at Transcend, anyone know about that? Of course, the pay per ...

Benefits and Retirement? - Meh

If Possible - Take Advantage of 401K

Apply For Benefits Then - Meh
