SHOCK: IRS Caught Laundering Veterans Disability Checks…
ALL VETS NEED TO READ THIS AND THEN STAND UP....
May312014
(Kevin E. Lake) – Recently, the Infernal Revenue Service (IRS) has come under
attack for malicious treatment of certain U.S. citizens and groups by singling
them out based upon their personal political preferences. At this time, it is
still unclear where the direct orders came from to initiate such heinous
activities, but what is crystal clear is that this type of activity is not new
for the IRS.
The IRS has mastered the art of breaking
their own laws, one case in particular; using banks to launder and then steal
disabled veterans’ disability checks.
The Veterans Disability Act of 2010 is a Federal law which
exempts VA disability from withholding of any sort. Actually, existing code
USC, Title 38, §5301 already protected VA disability from withholding, but
this provision was re-iterated and included in the newer legislation of 2010,
because too many civil court judges were legislating from the bench and
including veterans’ disability monies as earned income and granting it to
ex-spouses (men and women) in divorce proceedings, at times, leaving disabled
veterans without any safety net for self-care.
However, the IRS is still figuring out ways to get to a
veteran’s disability money. How do I know? Recently, it happened to me.
A couple of months ago, when I logged into my online bank
account to make sure that my VA disability check had been deposited (I am a 60%
disabled veteran of the Iraq War) I saw red and a negative
balance, beside which read the word “hold.”
I called my bank and was informed that the IRS had sent a letter
demanding that the bank take all of the available funds out of my account on
the first day of the month and then wire them to them. The bank gave me a
telephone number at which to call the IRS. After being placed on hold for a
very long time- long as in a biblical age- I finally spoke with an agent.
Long story short; they claim I made $157,000 in 2010 and that I
owe them tons of money, and that until I pay it, a lien will remain on my
personal bank account.
At the beginning of 2010, I was still in the hospital recovering
from injuries I’d sustained while serving in Iraq. I was released early in the
year, but still did not find employment until October, and even then, it was
only part time. I can assure you, as I did the IRS, that I did not earn
$157,000.00. Actually, I earned less than $10,000.00 in 2010.
I kindly read the federal code mentioned above to the lady I
spoke with at the IRS, reminding her that VA disability money is 100% exempt.
She placed me on hold for another age (I could see a man coming- bearing water-
over the horizon) and then she came back on the line and told me, “We do not
take veterans’ disability money. We wait until the funds are deposited from the
VA and then we take all of the funds from your bank account.”
Um.
Isn’t this called laundering?
I find
it ironic, now, that only weeks before the IRS put this hold on my bank
account, I’d been asked to be a contributing writer for key Tea Party
personality “Joe the Plumber.” I’d been writing freelance articles on veterans
affairs for some time, publishing and distributing them mostly through
Facebook, and I viewed the personal call Joe made to me as one of the greatest
compliments I’d been paid in regard to those articles. I jumped at the
opportunity to join his team and give my work, such as this piece, a wider
audience. I can’t help but think that part of my decision to join Joe’s team
may have played a part in being singled out by the IRS at this specific time
and having my VA disability money taken from me in complete breach of federal
law.
The good news is that through my persistence, and my refusal to
accept their answer, that it is okay to launder VA disability money, I was able
to get the IRS to refund all of the money they’d taken from my bank. I am
working with the IRS to remedy their great misunderstanding of my earnings for
2010, and I am reaching out to all disabled veterans to let them know that if
this is happening to them, they do have rights, and they need to stand up for
them.
As many veterans know, our war does not stop once we make it
home. Often, new battles begin, such as battles for the rights our government
promised they’d provide for us upon our return from war that they often turn
around and attempt to take away.
Currently in America, twenty two veterans a day are committing
suicide. One of the biggest contributors to the suicide epidemic is our
veterans’ inability to find suitable work after serving and the inability to
take care of themselves and their families financially. This is why VA
disability is sacred- except in the eyes of the IRS. Too many disabled veterans
in the U.S. are just a disability check away from being on the street and
joining the already nearly 70,000 homeless veterans in America.
If you are a veteran receiving disability from the VA, and you
are having it garnished, withheld, or having a lien placed upon it for any
reason, please contact the entity who is withholding, garnishing, or who has
placed the lien, and reference the federal code stated earlier in this article.
You stood up for the rights of all people of a great nation in combat, but
unfortunately, you must continue to stand up for yourselves to ensure that the
promises of being taken care of upon your return are kept. But you can do it,
because you are a warrior, and that’s what warriors do.
