Jim , the program is ran by the state of Tennessee and is aimed at putting older people back into a work situation ... when I was first asked by the principal if I would be interested and called the people about it they told em their was an income cap based on house hold income and also you had to be 50 ... I had to wait to start process until I turned 50 in November ... they could have told em way back at the end of September that my income was going to knock me out instead of dragging this along ..
so I guess for now I will continue to work at school for free ...not like I have anything else to do ... and going to school gives me a mental boost ... being around people is better for me than sitting here cleaning house , reading and talking to my dog ...
the thing that really got me though was the comment about the stability of my relationship just made me mad ...
I did get a message from the office that they have another program that is similar that is also income and age based that gets new funding in April ...they have a higher income ceiling ... the message said to call back in mid April ... I will call back but before I make the 80 mile round trip to their office I want them to give me the income cut off first ... I have made 4 trips over there when after the first they could have told me we made too much and saved me the gas ...
