I wont lie I didnt think they were government (well I knew they werent) but still doing a job that Know one else would that had to do with the public and care giving .... well anyway I guess I think outside the box Ty again

you've been helpful , ty for taking time to respond... and for the record I did think there was like a universal nursing fund..... and maybe she hadnt opted for it or something . The medical field needs to treat their workers better ...at least in my eyes.

ty so much , makes sense and she wants to go back to work ... I just feel at 70 its too much . Shes very prideful and so I was seeking more advice again just in case i hadnt turned every stone . Ty

FIrst off I would like to thank you all for responding , we four are defiantly helping her for sure. The issue that were under is that we do believe that either A were not turning over every rock to see if there is more out there for her , or B she really got screwed. My mom came to this country when she was 22 (from Haiti) she saved all the money she made as a teacher (my father as well ) so she is great with money . I maybe described the situation wrong (again not as articulate as I believe myself to be ) . But I feel that she should be set and cushioned and this shouldn't be the end of her journey . She did put money into her retirement with her job and they railroaded her . I came here because I figured maybe someone else might have had the same experience, and again this could be it , but I want to know that I made all the effort that I could before giving up on the idea. I always though growing up that there was more to it when you get older .... and now it seems that there isnt ...well at least for her and her profession . I really do appreciate the time you guys are taking to help me out ... as far as an attorney she and a few of her associates have tried to see were they stand on that cause ... im still waiting for the result of those conversations. Im jumping the gun again to see if any other nurses who had retired had ever experienced this and is there a special program for nurses for after retirement . IM a graphic designer and I work freelance so im not really sure of all this insurance and all of that.. But my dad was an orderly and when he passed 1199 covered most of the insurance stuff ... so again she as a nurse I wouldnt see how its possible for her to be basically left to fend for herself. Thank you ahead of time

So first off I would like to let you guys know that I am not a nurse. I joined to see if I can get help for my mom . For years she worked hard and very effectively as a LPN , about 5 years ago she retired after 20 some odd years as a nurse. She fed 4 kids and even one of us decided to follow in her footsteps (my sister is know an RN) . After retirement we thought she was all set and ready to live life . Unfortunately some bad turn of events on her ex employers part messed with her retirement funds. I dont know all the details but all together about 15 nurses were hit with something about the job not matching their retirement funds. Im not an articulate person nor am I a writer by any means, but I know that my mom doesn't deserve this. Worse off every Dr visit cost her an arm and a leg , and she is only getting about 1200 a month , I would think that this isn't the way to treat someone who was a public servant for years. My hands are tied because I dont know were to turn for help , or be pointed in the right direction. So I figured I would turn to her peers , maybe someone had also had this happen to them as well . I m just desperate to find a way to help my mom in her golden years. Just need to be pointed to the direction of who might be able to show me what I missed so that my mom can retire the right way. Thi is a very broad issue and im sorry I dont have much more to go with , but maybe its enough info for someone to help . THank you in advanced. I just dont feel this is the way to treat people who helped people for a good portion of their lives as a career.
