I went yesterday to the social service office to apply for jersey care. I was told that I now need my tax returns in addition to my bank statement. Also the last 4 consecutive paystubs as opposed to the latest one only.

Usually they only need returns for self-employed (playgroups, etc).  Is that true by you?  Also, IIRC they have always asked for one month of pay stubs.

+1.  For whatever it's worth, the LRRC told me that they are not asking for tax returns yet, though that could change soon.

I would trust someone that was there as the Llrc isn't always correct with their info. Although it's also YMMV with those social workers.

no not self imployed. U are correct but now they want 4.

Eta now i see on the check list it says "a copy of all pages of last years personal and business income tax returns." And in small letters "must have if self employed".
Would there b any reason they would ask for it if she's not self employed?

I faxed in notification that I went over income 3 months ago.
I never heard back from them. !
Anything to be concerned about?

They will see unearned income...
if you don't have a reason not to send it then send it, will avoid delays. If not then why not fight it..

Are you sure that you're over income, even after Obamacare takes effect?

I dont know what the income limit is under Ocare. ..Is it different than regular?
 I was hoping to get on to the extension program for two years.

This might explain why my change in income statement (in form of a paystub,) sent in October was ignored.
It seems that they will be going by the "latest" tax return. Might be a good reason for me to file an extension...

Does that mean that you don't have to report an income change till you have your 2013 return?

That's what i'm thinking. Sounds like the only form of income verification that they are accepting is TR...
