    I have been declared disabled and can no longer teach, what do I do?
    I am a teacher, I have been teaching in Florida for 25 years. Due to a degenerative spine disorder, I have been told by my doctor that I can no longer work. (I have been working in severe pain for the last 3 years, but it has become unbearable). I have applied for short and long term disability through my insurance, but I can't get anyone from the school system to give me an answer of what else I should do. I have been home for 3 weeks. I am sure there are steps I need to be taking, but I have left phone messages, numerous emails, to insurance, HR, legal,. no one has even acknowledged that I have sent them. What am I supposed to do!

    Other than following up with all parties to get the status, I'm not sure what else you can do.

    If you are permently disabled you can apply for social security disability through the government. Takes some time though. In the meantime if you have short term disability or long term disability benefits from private insurance, keep after the people who are in charge of dispensing this. Go sit in their office if necessary to get an answer. Phone calls, emails can be ignored, but a person sitting in a chair across from them cannot be ignored.

If a company lists a debit to dividends declared on their trial balance as an expense , how would this effect stockholders equity at period end? I do not think it would not be an adjusting entry to remove from expenses, but a reclassification entry but I am unsure of what entry to make:confused:
