IT WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CREATED BY PEOPLE WHO WHERE HIRES WITH A GUARNTEED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGREM THE EMPLOYEE WAS HIRED UNDER CONTRACT. IN 1990'S THE COMPANY CHANGED OVER TO ANOTHER PLAN AND IT DID NOT PROVIDE THE BENEFITS THE ORIGINAL PLAN DID. THEREFORE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE EFFECTED FILED A LAWSUITE AND WON. I RECIEVED 1000 FOR MY DECEASED HUSBAND WHO WORKED THERE AND ANOTHER 1000 AS A SURVIVOR. PROBLEM IS SOCIAL SECURITY HELD UP MY MONTHLY CHECKS THINKING I WAS WORKING A JOB AND NOT REPORTING IT. THE LAWSUITE ATTORNEY SAYS IT'S NON TAXABLE BC IT HAS TO DO WITH MEDICAL BENEFITS? THANKS
