Want business to boom again? All new heath care

sign ups (30 million) ought to be notarized to cut down on fraud. Now, I've come up with the idea, the rest of you NRs go forth and implement it. I'll just sit back and wait for the phone to start ringing off the hook again. Hurry.

I see . . .

They are going to need people to go to customer's homes (because many will be ill) and help fill out complicated paperwork and have the integrity to protect the information. Where are they going to find people like that? Signing agents!

Only states that will use the federal marketplace are on

that list.

"Additionally, you can view and print the federal government’s job manual for navigators. It is a 207 PDF document you can use to familiarize yourself with the job and see if you think you are qualified."

Re: I wanted to sign up, but I could not find the spot.

What I read in the original link said something about training to include tax prep knowledge (and something else I don't recall - probably relative to insurance), because the navigators will need to help people do calculations to figure out their eligibility for the subsidies. That could get complicated for people (like us) who don't have a set job with consistent pay.

That's all I needed to hear to not be interested... My hat is off to those who do that kind of work, but I can't imagine spending my time dealing with that kind of stuff. However, this sounds like it might be a great option for some in our ranks.

Re: I wanted to sign up, but I could not find the spot.

Hello:
I did some digging and found the correct agency to email. Basically I told them that they needed someone like me with my license , bond, background etc. I received an email back stating they already have security measures in place and won't need a notary. I tried!

Re: You think you're kidding? Here ya' go...

According to federal prosecutors, Seedco falsely reported that it had successfully matched jobseekers with jobs by basing their claims on the positions jobseekers already had.
“By reporting thousands of fake job placements, Seedco collected ‘performance payments’ totaling perhaps as much as $1.6 million over five years,” reported Michael Powell with the New York Times.
The lawsuit did not stop the federal government from awarding Seedco another multi-million dollar contract, this time as a coordinator for the Obamacare Navigator program.
The Navigator program provides millions of dollars to organizations such as Seedco to hire “navigators” who will advise Americans on their Obamacare health “options” based on the sensitive information provided, such as social security numbers, income levels, employment history and home addresses.
In an article we broke last week, the very nature of the Navigator program will attract identity thieves who can literally go door-to-door to ask Americans for their personal information under the guise of Obamacare enrollment.
“These navigators will have our consumers throughout the country’s most personal and private information: tax return information, Social Security information,” Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview with Fox. “And our biggest fear, of course, is identity theft.”
She also added that even those with prior identity theft convictions can still become navigators.
Bondi’s fears are well-founded considering that an organization sued for fraud is now coordinating Obamacare navigators who have immense opportunities to steal identities.

Re: Neither WA or OR where I close
