Re: NEXUS vs GE

Nothing stopping you from signing up for NEXUS if you already have GE, just log onto your TTP portal, hit "add program" and pick NEXUS. Yes, the GE fee you already paid becomes kind of a waste...

Re: Moving children from U.K. to USA high School

Again, I like to think of it as anecdotes vs. data. If it really were true that American education as a whole, especially elite American education, was inadequate at preparing people to compete...

Re: Moving children from U.K. to USA high School

Like most things it depends on the specific school, area, course selections, etc. People can go back and forth all day with anecdotes about how their kids' school in the US compared to their kids'...

Re: US health insurance

That's why I'm calling attention to it here. I want people to be aware of their rights and, far from missing it - be specifically looking out for this form!

That said, it looks like they took...

Re: US health insurance

Nah, simply giving a list of the providers and telling the patient they're on they're own to figure out whether they're accepted by insurance, is nowhere near enough to comply with the law. They have...

Re: US health insurance

I would look into the new federal law that went into effect this year, the "No Surprises Act", to see how it might apply here.

Re: US health insurance

It all depends on the specifics. In emergency where you end up out of network, your insurance will still pay the in-network rate, but that could leave you on the hook for a big bill. That's likely...

Re: US health insurance

Eh, not really. Ambulance lobbying was actually pretty weak compared to other healthcare services, when they were writing this legislation. Yet the vigorous lobbying against the law by the other...

Re: US health insurance

- Just because a service is out of network, doesn't mean your insurance won't cover it at all. It just means you could end up having to pay more for it than the copay/deductible/coinsurance/out of...

Re: Public colleges/Uni's in Southern California - costs

Financial aid will be very limited with the O visa as you have already found.

If you want to get an idea how much financial aid you might get once you are officially classed as a US resident,...

Re: Immigrating to US with health conditions.

This will depend heavily on your age. $400 a month is about right for an entry level unsubsidized ACA plan for a middle aged person, but if you're older $7-800 could be possible with no subsidies.

Re: 2020 Election

The higher percent of hospitalizations being younger people is because the cases are now more heavily concentrated among them. For healthy 20-29 year olds, hospitalization rate is extremely low - 3%....

Re: Moving from HK to USA- public IB school options around NYC

Many New Yorkers are single and/or childless. 5 is surely higher than the median household size, making it misleading to look at the median income for OP's purposes. Also, many people in NYC are...

Re: Coronavirus and Health status

Let me be clear, I'm not suggesting that young people take up vaping. I only advocate it as a method to help people stop smoking. It's comes down to harm reduction. Vaping just isn't comparable to...

Re: $1200 Payout. Are immigrants eligible?

Luckily it's early enough in the year that most will have earned relatively little so far, so a lot of people will qualify for Medicaid (in the states where applicable) or highly subsidized...

Re: $1200 Payout. Are immigrants eligible?

Pretty sure the out of pocket cap legal maximum is around $8000, so shouldn't be getting a $9K bill. Though I guess you could end up unlucky and get an out of network doctor who could charge more...

Re: $1200 Payout. Are immigrants eligible?

Everyone should know their own insurance plan and the maximum they would be required to pay, rather than relying on random people's reports online. Insurance plans vary drastically. Worth noting,...

US citizens abroad can get the checks. Rules are the same as for those living in the US: 2018 or 2019 tax return filed and income under the maximum threshold.

Re: $1200 Payout. Are immigrants eligible?

As long as you have social security numbers, you'll qualify for the payment. You need to file a tax return if you haven't already. The IRS is going to put instructions on their website soon for...
