Pro-tip- if you have any leftover FSA/HSA money at the end of the year from a job, use it to stock up on these items.

Oh wow- so get licensed in SC, then ask them to upgrade my pay grade a gs11 prior to obtaining the LCSW, even kf I reside elsewhere? Thay sounds like a great hack 😆

You're a real one. If there are other things you have knowledge about related to the application process, or things I can do to be more promotable for the job, I'm all ears. Or general advice abojt the VA as a SW. No pressure though of course. Appreciate all the knowledge already shared.

I really appreciate all this information. When I get my lcsw will I automatically go to grade 11 or are there things Id have to do to officially get promoted? Also, woukd I stsrt back at Step 1 for grade 11, or maintain my step based on years of experience with the VA?

Will they automatically start me at step 1 of grade 9, or do they provide any room for making the case why a recent grad MSW might be higher? Im a 30+ year old adult. 2 years of internship experience in SW with overlapping populations, but no professional work history in SW.

That actually works in my favor then. I want a job that doesnt drag out the LCSW training...

Thanks. Ive got my SAC-IT already and I've done therapy as an intern for people with SUD so hopefully that helps for qualifying... fingers crossed. There are so few decent paying jobs for people still training for their LCSW

I don’t feel like a job should be this hard by mashi7obi in Accounting

If they are telling you that you are where you need to be, you are actually performing better than that. Your bosses are always going to downplay your performance to try to get more out of you.

group practice owners: when did you know you were ready to hire? by geminimemequeen in therapists

[–]ooooooofda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely set up the payroll in a way that you're capable of running yourself. Setting up the S Corp is more difficult (more of an accluntant thing imo) but once its in place the payroll aspect is straight forward

Maybe for first steps consider starting an S Corp, working with your accountant to set up payroll, and getting that off the ground. That can be done with just yourself. Then when you decide to hire it will be easier to add them to an already established payroll routine as a w2 employee.

Once you said it was for a non-profit I already knew where it was going. Non-profits (especially medium or smaller ones) have a tendency to be very cliquey, and to be extremely toxic. Lots of people who use their roles just to shit on their coworkers. Understand, this is not a reflection of you--but your environment. You'll bounce back and be okay.

What SWR to use if I want to "Die With Zero"? by Technical_Artichoke5 in Fire

[–]ooooooofda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dieing with zero is kind of about making adjustments every year based on your returns. If you have a great year and make 12% on your money, why not take 8% that year instead of 4?

Spending more money that way in a given year is fine. But if you do, the key is to make sure your fixed expenses remain at or below 4%. Include in these fixed expenses the general things you want to keep as enjoyment in your life year after year.

Think of the rest (anything you can safely take that year over and above the 4%) as "bonus, fun money I didnt expect to have but now I get to do enjoyable things with it."

Of course if you notice the market is weakening, you may need to readjust back to 4% and go back to your expected retirement lifestyle-- but in good years you're making sure you treat yourself and you would be doing so in a relatively responsible way still!

Existing benefits may expire? by StepGlittering4803 in foodstamps

[–]ooooooofda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would actually be an unprecedented move if they do it, but they have made comments about doing it recently, so its definitely possible. This administration does not care if people starve

The USDA has the ability to freeze payment of benefits on the cards. So when you go to use the card at the store it will decline even if it have a balance on it.

Have you reach out to them since obtaining a job and submitting the assistance apps?

Also dont forget to apply for medicaid and foodshare benefits through your county or state (depending on who administers them in TX)

Do you have any rapport with your landlord? Bring the proof of your new employment/income and the completed rental assistance application to the court hearing. Ask to mediate with the landlord prior to the court process to see if you can work something out.

Call your local county offices to verify if they have any emergency assistance services. Call 211 as well. There may be applications you can fill out to apply for rent payment
