CS: Trolling for Dollars

thinkthrice's picture

Just when you think it is almost at the end...WHAM!  The NYS CSEU sends a letter stating that the CP can ask for and receive automatically a cost of living increase no questions or paperwork required!

The HousesHitter (YSS20)  is the last of the ferals on CS. He is going to be twenty one first week of January 2024.  At which time CS is  supposedly to end ( Goes automatically to age 21 here in new york state).

He's working full time--supposedly still living with the Girhippo and Step Daddy Big Bucks.

Seven more f'ing months after two decades of extortion for all three.

The money grab continues.

Gets Federal kickbacks for collecting the most amount of CS money via Title IV of the Social Security Act.  I expect the increase to be at least the federal amount of 8.7%

I mean.. I do get it to an extent.. inflation has really been impactful on things.. housing cost.. fuel.. food. . the exact things CS is supposed to cover.  But, it seems fairly short sighted and punative to be seeking it at the 11th hour.. the cost of administratively dealing with this.. the short amount of time it is in effect.. 

In some ways.. to be "fair".. you might adjust the calculation in line with inflation.. or they should address that in the order.

Im counting down the days and months until SDalmost17 Power Sulk turns 18. A few days after, she will graduate high school. So, we are just keeping low profile.

So hard!

My SO is going through something similar. We don't know if it's BM or the state seeking the increase. I guess the state has to pay for the COL increase in their welfare system somehow.

The Gir was (is) a bad lay and only allowed sex to breed.  It would have been cheaper for Chef to have a staff strumpet.

I thought it would go till 21 if they are full time in college and are fully dependent living at home. Working full time makes one fully independent. How is the fully independent person could be receiving CS? Even if they live at home. If they work full time and not in school, how could CS be justified? It's disturbing. They need to be emancipated! I'd be livid paying CS on fully employed adults

As long as they are living under mommy's roof they are still eligible for CS no matter the circumstances...yet they can vote as adults at age 18, 19, 20.
