How does the retirement plan for California Teachers work?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Do CA teachers currently get a state funded pension as part of their contract or do they need to fund their own retirement with 401k equivalents? (or is there a combination).

Thanks.

There is no one rule.

All districts negotiate with their own groups of teachers. Some have Calstrs, Some have Calpers, some have 401k’s, some – many private and some charters have none other than what a teachers decides to put away on their own.

AHCCCS a model for nation : Matt Heinz

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

As a physician legislator, I have the opportunity to scrutinize almost every program that Arizona funds. One of the largest is our state Medicaid program, AHCCCS. In the hospital, I treat many AHCCCS patients, but the more I learn about the program in the Legislature, the more impressed I am with it. Arizona may be sitting on the solution to our national health-reform debate.

Public-private partnership

The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System was created in the 1980s to serve as our state Medicaid program. The last state to establish such a program, Arizona used a new model that had not been previously attempted: managed care instead of fee-for-service.

This setup relies on a partnership between the state and private health plans. The health plans have a profit cap and voluntarily bid for contracts. The winning bidder receives a large guaranteed pool of patients.

AHCCCS-eligible patients get to choose an available health plan in their region and a primary-care provider. More than 80 percent of the primary-care doctors in Arizona are contracted. Prescription-drug coverage is broad and low-cost. Members can go to just about any hospital when needed. About 1.3 million Arizonans, 20 percent of our population, rely on AHCCCS for their health coverage.

Quality, efficiency

Unfortunately, some people assume care provided through AHCCCS is of low quality. That assumption is absolutely wrong. AHCCCS covers Arizonans with a remarkable degree of quality and efficiency. In fact, the benefit package for AHCCCS members is as good as or better than most private plans.

Furthermore, AHCCCS requires contracted health plans to focus on prevention, including weight management, immunizations, cancer screenings, blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes checks. This keeps patients out of the hospital, saving money in the long run.

Most efficient in U.S.

The Kaiser Family Foundation recently ranked AHCCCS as the least expensive to operate of all 50 state Medicaid programs, citing the low cost per member per month. Combined with the impressive set of benefits AHCCCS provides, Arizona taxpayers get the most bang for their buck. Overhead costs are among the lowest in the nation at only 3.3 percent, and provider-reimbursement rates are surprisingly competitive.

We have in AHCCCS an efficient government program that provides excellent coverage to qualified families through a public-private partnership within a health-insurance exchange that has won national recognition for its success.

AHCCCS has been working well for the people of Arizona for more than two decades. This model for health-care delivery works. Health-reform proponents would be well served to closely examine AHCCCS and learn from its accomplishments.

Focus on the people

One of my patients recently shared his thoughts about health reform from his hospital bed saying, “It’s time for the human family to come together and take care of itself.” I appreciated the compassion and civility in his words as he assessed our ongoing efforts. If we truly are committed to resolving the problems facing our health system in a meaningful way, we will keep the focus on patients and people, and we will come to a solution. I suggest that we look to AHCCCS as a proven, efficient model for national health reform.

The Construction Appraisal – What You Need to Know Before Your Loan Gets Denied

Monday, July 26th, 2010

The appraisal is just as important to your construction loan qualification as your income, assets and credit. The appraisal for a home to be built is even more important than an appraisal for a home that already exists. For a construction loan, the appraiser will do what is called a “plans and specs appraisal,” meaning they will examine the plans and specifications for the home to be built and compare it to existing homes in the immediate area that are similar.

An appraisal is an assessment by a licensed appraiser (an opinion, really) of the value of a particular home at a given time. The appraiser, who is licensed by the state, must follow certain rules regarding how an appraisal is conducted.

They must locate similar homes within a close proximity to your location (usually 1-3 miles) that are on similar size land. This is called finding “comparables,” or “comps.” A “comp” is not a “comp” if the home has not sold on the open market within the last six months. This can be stretched up to a year, but most lenders prefer six month old comps or less.

This means if you are building a 2000 square foot colonial style home on 1 acre, the appraiser must find at least three other roughly 2000 foot (usually within 15% of the size) homes on roughly 1 acre of land. If they cannot do this, there are often problems with establishing value. This could lead to a loan denial or to the lender making adjustments to the value (usually lower).

The best advice is to know the area you are building and not try to build a home that is way out of the ordinary for the area. We often see borrowers who want to build a home that is significantly larger and more expensive than the other homes in the area (called “overbuilding for the area”). They may be perfectly qualified as a borrower, but if the appraiser has problems establishing a legal appraised value, the loan could be denied.

Another issue often arises with large lots. If you find a 15 acre lot in an area of half-acre lots, you may run into problems with the appraisal. Lenders do not want to be stuck owning a property (if you were to default on the loan for some reason) that is out of the ordinary from the rest of the area. They need to be able to sell it quickly and may have trouble doing so if it is not typical for the area.

Here are some other common issues to consider: lot size, type of construction, and location of your intended home.

Most lenders will limit the size of the land on which you can build to 40 acres or less. As mentioned above, there must be comparable lots in the immediate area to justify the larger size. For example, your lender may be able to approve a loan for a home to be built on a 32 acre lot, but there must be other somewhat similar sized lots with somewhat similar sized homes available as comps. If the appraiser cannot find “comps” for this project, the chances are you will be denied the loan no matter how well qualified you are as a borrower.

The type of construction is also an important consideration. This is a common issue with log homes, but it can be problematic with any type of construction that is different than a regular “stick built” home. The appraiser must be able to locate “comps” for the type of construction you are building. This means, if you are building a log home, there must be other log home sales in the immediate area within the last 6 or so months that are similar size and on similar land. See the potential for problems?

Here’s an example from an actual client who wanted to build a log home on land he already owned free and clear. His income, savings and credit were excellent. In all, he was a well qualified borrower. However, he wanted to build a log home, a very nice log home. He said there were several log homes in the immediate area, thinking there would be no trouble with the appraisal.

However, the appraiser reported there were no comps for over 60 miles! How could this be? The appraiser explained that none of the log homes in the immediate area had ever sold, as they were all built by the owners who still lived in them.

What’s the lesson? A comp has to be a SALE of a similar type home, not just another nearby similar house. The second lesson is that many log homes are built as either retirement or vacation homes. The owners build them and never let go of them.

Ironically, this particular client said he could stand on his would-be front porch and see four log homes. But, none of them had sold, meaning they could not be considered comps for the appraisal. Fortunately, in the end, due to his impeccable qualifications and an endless amount of negotiating with the head of the construction lending department, he was able to build his log home without a log home comp. But, don’t count on this happening again.

The other area of concern for appraisals is the location of the property. Your lot will be considered to be either in an urban, suburban or rural setting. This will determine how far away the comps can be. Typically, in an urban setting, comps must be a half mile or less from the subject. This may be stretched to a mile in some cases. For suburban properties, one to three miles is the maximum distance allowed in most cases. For rural properties, the comps should ideally be no more than five to ten miles away.

There are exceptions to these rules, but you should not count on an exception being made. It is best to understand how an appraisal interacts with your loan application and do as much research as you can before you make any financial commitments. Often, if you find a lot and house plan you like, you can hire a local appraiser on your own to just “run comps” for your proposed home. Expect to pay for this service, as appraisers are professionals and should be properly compensated for their time and expertise.

But, this could be the best money you ever spend if there are any questions as to whether a good appraisal can be obtained for your proposed home. It is better to know early instead of spending time and money on plans, deposits, the full appraisal and any other expenses you may incur.

What happens when someone is of age to retire but their jobs doesn’t have a retirement plan?

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Say some gets to old to be able to work but their job didn’t have a retirement plan and they can’t retire but are too old… what happens? Can somebody live off of social security alone?

If they can afford to live off their social security, they do. Some of us had our retirement plans cut in half and lost our medical. We aren’t old enough for social security but have retired. To live my husband had to get another job. A lot of older people work part time in stores like Walmart of fast food places.
You add up your utilities and bills and see what you need for them each month and then what you have left to live on and that tells you if you can live on your SS.
There isn’t a retirement anymore, not like they show on TV.

Cancer Life Insurance Opportunities- Australia

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Several times the thought of not purchasing a cancer life insurance is regrettable. Some people tend to ignore cancer life insurance, in the past, because it was expensive. Nowadays, women and men have better chances of qualifying for a cancer life insurance because it is now more affordable and comprehensive. Standard basis without additional premium surcharges are now being offered.

Some life insurance companies have already improved their terms on certain types of breast and prostate cancer as well as high blood pressure life insurance.

For instance, a company might consider a standard issue policy on first time breast cancer patients for small tumors with strong prognosis. Another company might consider the same thing and give out insurance immediately after surgery. Some companies might also consider customized premium rates for women with stage zero cancer, and stage 1 tumors larger than 1 cm. Other cancer cases may be qualified after a certain time has passed which is subject to favorable results.

Prostate cancer history with men has also seen massive improvement when it comes to terms and conditions relating to an insurance company. For those men who are 60 years old and up, possible standard rates may be offered after having a surgery.

According to a recent study, women will own 60-percent of US wealth. Women, however, will fall short of life insurance coverage as compared to men.

Life insurance can:

1. Replace income lost caused by the death of the breadwinner in the family. Several times, working mothers who just lost their husband are having a hard time so it’s best to qualify for a cancer life insurance so single parents can still raise money for the college education of their children.

2. Replace caregiver expenses.

3. For those who are small business owners, the money they will get from succession plans can be used to fund their businesses.

4. Replace any final expenses for funeral costs and any other uninsured expenses.

With the modifications of the cancer life insurance, opportunities given by some companies have opened doors for those who seriously need the help they can get from a cancer life insurance. It may be best that one consult their own legal or tax providers for further life insurance assistance. All life insurance offers are subject to medical history and relative terms.

At Special Risk Managers, their sole focus is obtaining life insurance for people with a serious medical condition; people who are often considered uninsurable. They offer specialised services through an exclusive arrangement with an international reinsurance company.

Their life insurance clients include people with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, stroke or heart attack and people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, epilepsy or Crohn’s Disease. In fact, income protection and trauma insurance are also commonly available to people with chronic illnesses (excluding Multiple Sclerosis sufferers).

In addition, Special Risk Managers is able to help people with a history of depression or other mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse, and kidney or liver disease secure risk insurance.

The principals of Special Risk Managers have almost 60 years of international experience in the life insurance industry and enjoy an excellent reputation for their professionalism and ability, particularly in the area of non-standard risk policies.
