Simple Answers to Simple Questions
Wow! It always seems so incredibly hard just getting what should be a very simple answer to a really simple question. But in their usual manner, the NFLPA always manages to make things ridiculously difficult. If you recall, all I wanted to know was why I wasn’t getting the net T&P Benefits I was granted earlier last month after my application had been approved (click HERE to read the earlier post). And my attorney, John Hogan, also wrote a formal request to inquire about the discrepancy. (I don’t want to get into the discrepancy of what they REALLY should be paying me on this post.)

And here’s the letter I got back late last week:
We’ve just fax’ed in another letter to Paul Scott letting him – and the NFLPA – know once again that John Hogan is my attorney of record in this matter. John Hogan was, after all, the attorney who formally filed my recent request for my disability benefits during this last round of applications. DUH!
There are Federal laws that mandate full disclosure of any and all deductions that are taken from paychecks and benefit payments. I certainly know that if I ran a business and I didn’t disclose deductions on a paycheck to an employee, the IRS would be probably be knocking at my door!
Here’s a thought – Would everyone who has received any benefits from the NFLPA – whether it be pensions or benefits – please consider writing to them and asking the following questions:
- How did you calculate my pension and/or benefits?
- Were deductions taken from my pension and/or benefits?
- How did you calculate the deductions taken from my pension and/or benefits?
Let us know what kind of a response – if any – that you get back.
Like they say in the comic books, to be continued…
