A deaf friend of mine was telling me about the deaf seniors organization in Las Vegas. It is related to financial situation. That got me curious so I read the article Deaf Seniors Organization .
Isn't it a question of need? I don't need a terp at a public library - you can check out a book without much communication. But for sophisticated financial dealings, an interpreter is probably a good idea.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA 2008”), which raised the FDIC limit to $250K did not apply to Deaf Seniors’ funds at Silver State Bank, as the EESA’s effective date was October 3, 2008, just 27 days after the failure of Silver State Bank, which closed on Septmber 5, 2008. I have filed suit on behalf og the Deaf Seniors to reclaim these lost funds.
I warned ceci rosen of having too much money in one place years ago. That's the type of things where the term 'it fell on deaf ears' comes from.
ReplyDeleteI find it very strange because FDIC announced that they will cover up to $250,000 effective this month. I wonder why.
ReplyDeleteFDIC has increased its limit from $100,000 to $250,000 after Silver State Bank went under.

ReplyDeleteInteresting...
ReplyDeleteWhen they go to McDonald's, do they ask for sign language interpreter?
How about public library such as reference desk or information desk, do they always ask for interpreter?
How about auto dealership, do they always ask for interpreter?
Something to discuss about it...

ReplyDeleteYou don't need an interpreter to check out books but do you need an interpreter for information desk or reference desk???
It depends on their reading/comprehension level.
