Re: [QUAD-L] Engagement/waiver

Once you're married, her money is yours (in the eyes of the government), you must claim it.  Many reasons people in our condition don't get married.  One positive reason gay and lesbians who CAN'T get married get one over on the system. Congratulations !!!!  Sounds like a lucky gal ;-) River On Dec 27, 2005, at 11:16 AM, t crook wrote: Her income would put me too high; is their any way to not include her income to mine. She is not my main caregiver; meaning she doesn't get paid through the waiver.

I called her and my son ! into the living room; I flipped my leg rest to the side and threw my leg down- I then said "I cannot get down on one knee; I pulled out the ring and asked if she would marry me. She said are you kidding (yes), are you kidding (yes); she was very happy. Now do any of you know about waiver rules and laws. I am pretty sure their is a way to keep finances separate for me to keep my waiver- so long as the Iraq war doesn't eat my waiver before I get a chance to save-guard it.   Tim www.geocities.com/onemofortom Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year.
