I just moved here from another state, so to get a new license, how long do I have?


You must exchange your driver license from another U.S. state or territory, federal district or Canadian province within 30 days of becoming a  New York state resident.


Are there exceptions to this rule?


Are you a student studying in New York State?


Yes I am.


Students from elsewhere are normally not considered residents of New York State, so they don t need to exchange their current driver's license.


If I do end up quitting school here and becoming a resident of NY, what if I go back to Canada and need my original driver's license?


In that case, when you pass your road test, ask the road test examiner how to make sure that your foreign driver license is not destroyed.


How will I prove that I'm a resident if I still pay taxes in Canada?


Normally, a judge considers these facts to decide if your intent is to make NYS a "fixed and permanent" residence.


I've been here 3 months and I got a ticket the other day. I still use my Ontario driver's license, how does that affect me?


A police officer can use this as evidence to issue a traffic ticket if you drive in New York State without a New York State driver license or vehicle registration. If you contest thew ticket, the judge will examine your evidence of intent and decides according to the law.


There's no date on my license of when I got it, what do I do?


If you do not get an official letter from your original issuer stating when it was issued, you must apply for a new, original driver's license.

That's what I was getting at. Am I able to get disability benefits from VA for this?


Do you have an illness that's on our list of illnesses believed to be caused by radiation or that doctors say may be caused by radiation?


No, I don't.


Unfortunately, that means you aren't able to get disability benefits.


Good to Know! Another VA related question. Do all the requirements have to be true?

I'd like to raise another question about the advantages and disadvantages. If you could tell me if it helps to postpone benefits, it would be great.


If you delay your benefits until after full retirement age you may be eligible for delayed retirement credits that would increase your monthly benefit. There are other things to consider when making the correct decision about your retirement benefits, so it is best to contact Social Security before you decide when to retire .


but how will it be if I start benefits early?


your benefits will be reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age .


what is full retirement age then?


Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits .


but I can retire early whenever I want ?


You can retire at any time between age 62 and full retirement age .  However ,your benefits are reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age


Hello there. I hope you're doing well. The reason why I came here was to learn how I can change my address. Could you perhaps walk me through this process?


Of course. Do you want to update the address on your license, permit, or ID, vehicle registration and title?


No, not yet. I just wanted to figure out how things work first.


Are you planning to change your address online through MyDMV?


Yes, that is option I considered.


To change the address on your license, permit, non-driver ID and/or registration, you will need the ID number and document number from your New York State driver license and learner permit.


What if I have no longer have that document?


Then you will need to wait for a new one to arrive before you can create a MyDMV account. You can still change your address, though.


Alright, then let's say I'm heading to a DMV office to change my address. What should I bring along?


You should bring a completed Address Change (MV-232) form with you.


What else should I know when I change my address for a vehicle registration?


You should know that we also update the title certificate record. You do not need to order new DMV documents with your new address. Updating your address for a traffic ticket does not update your address on other DMV records.

Is it okay if I ask another question in relation to a TVB ticket. What are the options for responding to a ticket issued by the Traffic Violations Bureau?


You can follow the instructions on the ticket to answer the ticket at a TVB office, but be sure to bring proof of identity along with you.


Also, does it matter if the ticket need to be branded as TVB or not?


Yeah, it does need to have the words Traffic Violations Bureau on it, more precisely on the bottom of the ticket, or you won't be able to file it on the DMV.

I see. Should I apply right away or wait?

If you don't have a specific document, there are other documents that you can use. However, these documents must not be expired. They also need to show your name and your date of birth or age. We also prefer that it contains a recent photograph.


Okay. What documents will I need?


There are only certain documents that we can use for verifying your U.S. citizenship, like your U.S. passport.


I don't have a passport and have lived in the U.S. for many years. What else can I use?


In this case, you may be asked to submit copies of your tax records that show you were never given a Social Security number, or information about schools that you've attended.


Will you accept photocopies of the documents I need?


No, only original documents or copies that were certified by the agency you issued them can be used.

Why should I decide attend a career or a college school?


the most simpler answer would be that attending a college or career school equals more money, more job opportunities, and more freedom. You should see it as a long-term investment.


hello I need information about Temporary Disability Rating after surgery or cast


Are you recovering from surgery or a disability related to your military service that has left you unable to move?


Yes


You may be able to get a 100% temporary disability rating and disability compensation or benefits if you have this type of immobilizing disability.

Yes For Example: A veteran had a left knee injury that resulted in a disability rating of 30%. As the knee problem worsened, the veteran VA doctor recommended surgery to prevent further damage from occurring. Since the doctor would not know if the surgery was successful until 3 months after the 1 week stay in the Veteran's hospital, we gave the Veteran a temporary disability rating of 100% for 3 months.
