#### LARRY EDWARD HARMON VS. REGIONAL JAIL AND CORRECTIONAL *258FACILITY AUTHORITY

(CC-08-0418)

Claimant appeared *pro se.*

Ronald R. Brown, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent's Answer.

Claimant, a former inmate at the Southern Regional Jail, seeks $426.96 for items of personal property that were entrusted to respondent. When claimant was preparing to leave the jail on July 31, 2008, his anide boots, shorts, shirt, hat, wallet, identification, G.E.D. card, Walmart gift card, Zippo lighter, socks, and boxers were missing.

In its Answer, respondent admits the validity of the claim and that the amount is fair and reasonable. The Court is aware that respondent does not have a fiscal method for paying claims of this nature; therefore, the claim has been submitted to this Court for determination.

This Court has taken the position in prior claims that if a bailment situation has been created, respondent is responsible for property of an inmate which is taken from that inmate, remains in its custody, and is not produced for return to the inmate.

Accordingly, the Court makes an award to the claimant herein in the amount of $426.96.

Award of $426.96.

PER CURIAM.

Gary James Walker petitions for review of an order of the Railroad Retirement

Board (Board) denying his appeal. Walker contends the Board erroneously decided it

was required to honor a state court order that a portion of Walker's Railroad Retirement

Act disability benefits be paid to his former wife. Having reviewed the record and the

parties' submissions, we conclude the Board's finding that it was required by law and

regulation to comply with the order was supported by substantial evidence. See 45

U.S.C. § 231m(b)(2); 20 C.F.R. §§ 295.2-.4; King v. Railroad Retirement Bd., 981

First Merchants announces


company-wide raise, bonuses





Tax reform, strong 2017 performance leads to employee investment








Muncie, Ind. - First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ - FRME) announced today that it will raise the wage paid to hourly employees by $1 per hour as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 signed by President Trump in Dec. 2017.





Additionally, as a reward for the company’s strong 2017 performance, all associates, excluding senior management, will receive a $500 one-time cash bonus. Part-time associates will receive a pro-rated share.





The compensation investments will impact nearly 90 percent of First Merchants’ 1,700 employees and will be in addition to the company’s existing incentive programs and annual merit increases.





“My colleagues at First Merchants provide superior service to our clients and devote themselves to the communities we serve every day,” said First Merchants President and CEO Michael C. Rechin.  “We are proud to share the savings provided by the tax reform package to reward their hard work and dedication with an increase in compensation.”





Celebrating 125 years of serving communities in 2018, First Merchants dedicates significant annual investment to both community and employee philanthropy.





In addition to its direct financial contributions, First Merchants recently tripled the number of schools to which it delivers financial literacy programs (10 to 35) and will impact more than 10,000 students by the end of the current school year.





First Merchants Serves , an employee program designed to facilitate community investment, provides for thousands of hours of community service. As part of the program, every First Merchants employee receives a paid workday annually to volunteer their time to work on meaningful causes within their local community.








---










“Our mission is to be the most responsive, knowledgeable and high-performing bank for our clients, teammates and shareholders,” said Rechin. “We continue to live that mission in 2018 with investments in mobile and digital platforms, brand building and continuing to offer programs for associates like tuition reimbursement, retirement savings contributions, training and a variety of professional development opportunities.”
