MModal TAA petition denied. - sad


Posted: May 18, 2014

petition number 85182 The last TAA petition ended 3/29/2014. The new petition was denied. :-(

Service sector workers not eligible as of 2014 - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Government made a reversion to the TAA eligibility groups for 2014. Now only manufacturing sector jobs fall under the TAA program. I originally applied for TAA in March before the old petition expired (and got approved for schooling starting the end of this month) and filed the extension. I am sad it did not get approved so more MTs could have used the program.

I am - also

out of that place and almost have a year in school. I feel bad for people, but they should have applied a long time ago. I did it while I was still working and started school and worked. Now I am laid off and almost halfway through school.

Denied!!!
Mar 20, 2014

Good luck to those of you accepted to the program.  I did not make it - my A and P score was too low compared to others (had an 82).  I did think my coding certificate would help make up for my low score.  Best wishes, hope the program is successful.  ...

I am a very experienced MT who never leaves blanks unless the dictators us just plain undecipherable, which was the case with one ESL idiot who was such a poor dictator I had to leave about 25 blanks.  I struggled with this jerk's utterances (can't call them actual words) for an HOUR, replaying over and over, trying to figure out what he MEANT to say.  I made way under minimum wage on in that hour, and put in a lot of free time to try to get thro ...

Has Anyone Ever Been Denied Time Off When They Had Reservations Already In Place?
Dec 02, 2014

Why do they say we can apply for time off 60 days in advance when they are going to wait until the month of to approve it.  I have had these reservations since September, as most people do plan ahead, especially when reservations are needed.  I would just work at the hotel room, but I will need to be traveling during the time I would be working.   I am freaking out, I don't know what to do. ...

TAA Petition =
Jan 21, 2010

As suggested the other day, I e-mailed my TAA regional director since all I was getting from my One-Stop Career Center person & UI was that I needed a letter stating a lay off date or that there was an imminent threat of lay off. She sent me a note, then cc'd my e-mail to my state director.  Here are their responses: Regional:  You would need a qualifying separation in order to be eligible for Trade benefits as you have not been determined to be an adversely affected incumbe ...

As many of you know, EMR companies charge fees upwards of 15,000 dollars to allow transcription companies to integrate with them. This barrier to entry will lead to us all being replaced by voice recognition or point and click unless we all do something. There is no reason transcriptionists can not co-exist with EMR's. Doctors still need someone to type their records up for them. It is simply a faster and a more efficient use of resources to keep us in the loop. Eliminating these EMR fees ...
