SMARTvt’s Healthcare Expert Jean Twombly to Speak
Avoiding the Tax-Time Healthcare Fine – A real concern for employers and individuals – Twombly will speak about a wide array of waivers and exemptions.
Maximizing the Healthcare Tax Incentive Subsidy
Heathcare Advisor Jean Twombly – Expert in Maximizing Healthcare Resources
Twombly to speak about how average Vermont wage earners can easily get the best value for their healthcare dollar and in many cases can get most of the cost of healthcare subsidized by following simple guidelines.
Translated: your medical care coverage can be paid for with no cost to the recipient provided that recipients follow very simple enrollment guidelines.
Twombly will describe the formula that the state will use in determining subsidies; will outline the types of plans offered such as Gold, Silver, Bronze and detail that in many cases the moderate wage earners can qualify for a Bronze plan at no cost.
Additionally Twombly will feature Job Opportunities for those seeking to serve as Healthcare Service Facilitators for those seeking employment in the field.
To be sure: $17M in Penalties is expected: http://bit.ly/LUcem3
Fines will range: Minimum individual penalty of $95 in 2014, $325 in 2015, and rising up to 2.5 percent of income (or $2,085 maximum) per family in 2016. That means the first-year spread between the penalty and the cost of coverage for an individual may be 20 to 1 or 30 to 1. http://bit.ly/LUcem3

Economic Summit – What To Do For The Thousands of Unemployed Workers Dumped From Unemployment – Yet Jobless
SMART Holdings USA Delegation To Attend National Economic Development Summit
Legal Feeding Frenzy Expected
Massive Legal Filings Are Expected in the Wake of IBM Employment Advertising That Declared, ”
About six weeks after eliminating 419 jobs at its Essex Junction site, IBM is hiring. And you don’t even have to be young.
IBM’s original advertisement
for entry-level development engineers in Albany, N.Y., Essex Junction and Hopewell Junction, N.Y., posted on Aug. 30, included the following requirement: “All applicants must have graduation dates of January 2010 or later.”
Oops.
“It was a thoughtless mistake,” IBM Spokesman Doug Shelton said Friday.
Shelton said the “incorrect” posting would be pulled down and replaced Friday afternoon. The listing was brought to the attention of various Vermont media outlets, including the Burlington Free Press, earlier in the day by Alliance@IBM, an employee group.
The listing also came to the attention Friday of the Civil Rights Unit of the Vermont Attorney General’s Office. Attorney General Bill Sorrell said IBM’s original ad “certainly raises questions as to whether this was a permissible job-related limitation.”
“You cannot discriminate on the basis of one’s age, that’s just clear,” Sorrell said. “Now whether this ad would have the effect of keeping otherwise qualified applicants from applying, or does it reflect some intent to discriminate, that’s unclear from the face of the ad.”
Sorrell pointed out that a 50-year-old person could have a graduation date of January 2010 or later — in theory.
“What I will say is an ad like this raises question for us,” Sorrell said. “Let’s just say this isn’t the end of it.”

A larger wave is expected…….
Burlington – Last months move by General Dynamics to close its Charlotte Operation has sent shockwaves through the company. More Layoffs Expected.
Insiders at General Dynamics here in Burlington say that re-organizational behavior by the company in recent months points to wide-scale Vermont layoffs and perhaps a closure.
Requesting anonymity, respondents say, ” Targeted will be workers who recently were forced via organizational changes into different designations, roles, duties, business segments; … those with variances in employment appraisals; … those whose work changed and that is being performed by a different department…….. much fear about liquidating the building lease and shipping jobs elsewhere or redistributing work to new units. There has been a lot of discussion about “Layoff Setups” whereby the…

Depiction of Type of Tractor Used To Crush Police Cruisers
A 35 Year-old Farmer Who Complained of Police Harassment for Having Small Amounts of Marijuana and “lost -it” flattening nearly a dozen police cars has been ordered to get another mental evaluation….
NEWPORT — A judge has ordered a new psychiatric exam for a Vermont man accused of using a large tractor to crush several sheriffs’ cruisers.
Roger Pion of Newport was found incompetent to stand trial and hospitalized in January. He’s been at the Second Spring psychiatric facility in Williamstown.
The Caledonian-Record of St. Johnsbury reports that lawyers for the state and for Pion have agreed to have him evaluated again to determine if he’s competent to stand trial.
The 35-year-old Pion faces several charges in an incident in which he allegedly used a large farm tractor to crush seven police cruisers parked outside the Orleans County Sheriffs’ Department in Derby on Aug. 2, 2012.
