In a comment on columbuzz, Leah Coleman writes that the trustee's office is "making me pay back that money out of my (Social Security disability) settlement, when I get it."
The trustee is required to follow state law and the law states the following:
IC 12-20-27-1.5
Repayment of benefits provided during interim period
Sec. 1.5. (a) As used in this section, "interim period" means the period:
(1) beginning when a township trustee obtains from a township assistance applicant or member of the applicant's household an agreement or authorization described in subsection (b); and
(2) ending when the township assistance applicant or member of the applicant's household receives the judgment, compensation, or monetary benefit or leaves the household.
(b) Subject to IC 12-20-11-5(b), if a township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, anticipates that a township assistance applicant or a member of the applicant's household is likely to receive a judgment, compensation, or a monetary benefit from a third party, the township trustee may require the applicant or the affected member of the applicant's household to:
(1) enter into a subrogation agreement; or
(2) sign a Social Security Administration's reimbursement authorization;
for the repayment of any township assistance benefits provided by the township during the interim period. A subrogation agreement authorized under subdivision (1) may only require repayment of interim benefits provided to the applicant or to the applicant's dependents who were members of the household to which township assistance benefits were paid.
As added by P.L.51-1996, SEC.72. Amended by P.L.73-2005, SEC.150.
The refusal to cooperate is a reason for denial of assistance.
In an email to me, Fred Barkes said that until 3 years ago, he didn't push on this but the state (SBOA) was not pleased with him for not pushing. "Now we try to do what we can."

Quote from Bob Freeman- "Apparently she always deals with Curt Handley. We hear good things about him all the time.
It's amazing how 100% of what we hear about him is good and 95% of what we hear about the rest of the staff is bad."
Bob's math skills(NOT) hard at work again.
And there he goes with that "we" crap again.
Bob Freeman is not good for Columbus. He is a foreign parasite who is only happy when he complains about the citizens and businesses of this city.
In the old days, this is just the type of person who would be tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.
In my opinion, that would be way too kind for such a perverted, filthy-mouthed, lying, low life.
"MY FRIENDS ALREADY HAVE JOBS" said Bob Freeman.
Yeah, signing your useless petitions...all 10 of your friends and family members. LOL
I find it funny that I wrote the first comment under local taxpayer, and have nothing to do with the office, then people get all upset because i was so terrible to a disabled person. funny, i have a very near and dear friend who is disabled and refuses to wine about it. if someone wants help, and there are state requirements, they should be followed, and my friend agrees. i have no idea who the second person with the name local taxpayer is, but from the sounds of it he/she knows miss coleman.
i still stand my ground - if you are going to suck on a government tit, and the money used is my tax money, then it should be accountable. expecting freebies because one is disabled makes all those that are disabled look bad. if she wants that to change, she should cry to the state, and maybe they will make a whole different set of rules just for her since she is disabled. and if my comments are too harsh, calling me evil is fine, i won't change my mind or go back on my words to make her or anyone feel better.
"The two IP addresses you used are real familiar too." said Bob Freeman.
Watchout! Shitlock Holmes is on the case again!
Who woulda ever thunk a concrete tester would be such a friggin genius?
He should skip Trustee and just run for Chief Inspector of the City of Columbus............LOL
Wait for it. Wait for it. He's gonna accuse you of being Mercman!
woohoo! if i were only to have such an honor bestowed on to me.
he is probably using awstats or webalizer, or some such program, thinking that will give him all the answers, you know there is no way he could understand all those fancy numbers in a set of raw access logs, and then using an online ip track, funny since that usually doesn't give near the exacts of ip backtracking, besides he is prob too busy talking to 18 year old girls on... ehem penpal.. websites.
Who would/will vote for Bob Freeman
Moochers
Fools
Disgruntled/Watanabe Fireman
Democrats that do not know him
Don't forget his cronies. They too will vote for him. Oh, wait...Bob is anti-cronyism. Pardon my faux pas.
