feb 23 2017 Disgraced former Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. is claiming $138,400 a year from the federal government in benefit checks, it has emerged.
The former Democrat politician and son of Reverend Jesse Jackson, 51, was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2013 for taking $750,000 from his own campaign funds.
Now, details of his benefits package - which he gets for bipolar disorder and depression - have emerged, leaving critics questioning how he is eligible for the money, the Chicago Tribune has reported.

The details of Jackson's payments emerged in divorce proceedings, which wife Sandi Stevens, began last year in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
Most of the money - around $100,000 - comes from workers' compensation and is not taxed, Jackson's attorney, attorney Barry Schatz, said.

The rest are Social Security Disability payments that he receives because of his mental health problems, which caused him to take leave from Congress in 2102, and may be taxed.

According to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, workers can be given disability compensation 'due to personal injury or disease sustained while in the performance of duty.'

But for someone to receive compensation from the federal government for bipolar disorder is extremely unusual, said Ari Wilkenfeld, a Washington employment lawyer.
His firm, Wilkenfeld, Herendeen & Atkinson, often represents federal employees, but he says he's never seen a case where someone has claimed for the disorder.

'What's remarkable here is by his getting workers' comp, it appears that Congressman Jackson's attorneys have convinced the government that his bipolar disorder was created by the rigors of being a member of Congress,' he said.

Ex-U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a convicted felon who receives $138,400 a year in workers' compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, must pay temporary monthly child support of $1,529 for his two children, a judge said Tuesday.

Judge Robert Okun of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia ordered Jackson to pay support for his two children with former Ald. Sandi Jackson beginning in March. The figure works out to about $50 a day.

The Jacksons are seeking to end their marriage in separate court filings in Washington and in Cook County. The couple signed a premarital agreement saying Illinois laws would govern any related litigation, the judge said. But Sandi Jackson's bid for custody of the children and child support should be decided in D.C., where she lives, he said.

The judge said Jackson Jr. did not attend a hearing in the case last week and set March 15 as the next court date. He said a D.C. court does not have jurisdiction in the divorce and denied Sandi Jackson's request for temporary alimony."
 
Yes because a liberal like me using the term "fake news" (the "You're Fired"of 2017) is always to be taken seriously. I secretly admire Trump so much that I just can't help but use his new catchphrase every chance I get. And Jesse Jackson left Congress 85 years in the future.

Yet nothing from you about the OP. Does the typo make it a false story? No, but your refusal to address the content makes you a coward. Keep crying your losing pussy. You can't help it. You simply can't accept your bitch lost the election that you have to act like you do.

For the typical liberal, one typo means the whole article is fake (if it's something they don't want to hear).

For the typical Liberal, it doesn't have to have a typo. It only has to come from a source they don't like and it's automatically fake to them.
 
JJ jnr is your typical black. He thinks it's cool to steal from white people. He believes the media conspiracy theory that black failure is due to a white conspiracy against them.
 
So why hasn't Trump gotten up off his lazy ass and stopped Tweeting long enough to put an end to it????

I thought this bozo was going to put a stop to all this kind of crap, yet here we are, reading about more of it.
