Every day, she carries a tangible reminder of her family’s legacy—her grandmother’s pendant that survived the horrors of the Holocaust. It serves as a poignant symbol of resilience and endurance.</p>

<p>“This pendant was the only thing she had that made it out of the war. Several times the chain has broken and I [would] think the pendant is surely gone.  But I will find it later in the folds of my clothes or miraculously in a pocket,” she said.</p>

<p>Graham remains deeply connected to her family’s history, a source of empathy and understanding in her interactions with Veterans.</p>

<p>“One of the things it helps me keep in mind is that everyone has a story. Everyone has a life and you never know what anybody is going through.”</p>

TeleRheumatology enables Shawntell and other Veterans to receive critical arthritis care from home or a VA clinic.

<p>In the United States, an estimated 21.2% of adults have arthritis. That’s more than 53 million Americans.</p>

<p>Arthritis refers to any disorder that affects the joints—with the most common types being osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Primary care providers may refer Veterans with arthritis to a rheumatologist, a specialist who treats arthritis and other autoimmune conditions.</p>

one from the Index: menu immediately below the above search box. You
can also specify whether to sort the search results by relevance or date. By
default search results are sorted by relevance, with the most relevant result
appearing at the top of the page. If you want to sort the documents by date
instead, click the Sort by date link on the search results or select
Date from the Sort: menu above. The most recent document
appears at the top of the page and the date of each file is returned in the
results. Search results that do not have dates are displayed at the end and
are sorted by relevance.

Matching Methodology

The search method uses advanced matching techniques to find pages that are
both relevant and important to your search. The search method prefers pages
in which your query terms are near each other and is smart enough to include
variants (plurals, different tenses of verbs) of some search terms, while
ignoring common words and characters, such as "where" and
"how," as well as certain single digits and single letters, because
they tend to slow down your search without improving the results. If a common
word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by
putting a plus ("+") sign in front of it. Include a space before
the "+" sign, but not after it.
You can also search for a specific phrase by enclosing a series of words
within quotation marks or by using hyphens (or slashes or periods or equal
signs or apostrophes) between the words (x-ray, for example).
Searches are not case sensitive. All letters are handled as lower case.
For example, searches for "gamma ray burst", "Gamma Ray
Burst", and "Gamma ray burst" will each return the same
results.

Excluding Search Results

You can exclude some results by adding a minus sign ("-") in
front of words related to the topics you want to avoid. Make sure you include
a space before the minus sign, but not after it. You can exclude multiple

Care we provide at VA Portland Health Care System
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault. It’s normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. If symptoms last more than a few months, it may be PTSD. We can help you with effective treatments and support services, like:

RVETS | CAL FIRE
The CalHR database for job descriptions asks users to input a class code or class title (classification name) for a description; however, if you are unfamiliar with specific class codes or class titles, you can enter a partial name or keyword.  For example, if you are looking for various civil service classifications in firefighting, type the word “fire” in the class title field and the database will pull up several related class specifications.  For a listing of all civil service classifications used at CAL FIRE, click here.
While the class specification proves useful for identifying information specific to the job, it does not provide pay information.  Information on pay can be found in the alphabetical listing by classification name on the CalHR website under pay scales. 


 State of California Employment in Brief
 

The State of California utilizes what is referred to as a merit-based civil service selection system.  The basic premise of the State's merit system requires that individuals hired into and promoted within the civil service be selected on the basis of their job-related qualifications and that such selection decisions be free of illegal discrimination and political patronage.  The California State Personnel Board (SPB) is charged with oversight of this system. 
The selection process must be designed to assess the KSAs associated with the civil service classification required for successful performance in the job. 
The civil service selection process, as a whole, is made up of a number of stages including recruitment (advertising), assessing or measuring candidate qualifications (selection), choosing of the candidate to be appointed (hiring), and the employee’s successful completion of any required probationary period.
After you have determined the civil service classification(s) you are interested in, in most instances, you will want to:

Take an examination – to establish eligibility review the class specification and examination bulletin for details on the examination, the type of examination, and the minimum qualifications required to compete in the examination (see additional information for veterans located below). Once you have done this, take and successfully pass the examination to get placed on an eligible list.
Once eligibility has been established, search and apply for job vacancies.

NOTE: Eligible veterans qualify for preference in examinations and have the ability to take promotional examinations.

5.
Will my application be kept on file?

No. We only accept applications for open jobs. You must submit a new application for each job you apply for.	

6.
Where do I get a Department of Motor Vehicles printout?

It depends on the position. Please read the job announcement carefully, as it will describe the application requirements. We often require a supplemental questionnaire to be completed.

California grants relief for San Diego flood victims | FTB.ca.gov
Payments due on June 17 remain due on that date. This extension to file and pay includes the following: 

Individuals whose tax returns and payments are due on April 15, 2024.
Quarterly estimated tax payments due April 15, 2024.
Business entities whose tax returns are normally due on March 15 and April 15.
Pass-through entity (PTE) elective tax payments due on March 15, 2024.
Tax-exempt organization returns normally due on May 15, 2024. 

For any given Emergency Measure or Major Disaster Declaration that triggers IRS tax relief/postponement in California, the State will evaluate any filing or payment postponement in response to each declaration or emergency on a case-by-case basis, consistent with existing authority per Revenue and Taxation Code section 18572.
Taxpayers affected by a presidentially declared disaster may claim a deduction for a disaster loss. Additional information and instructions are available in FTB Publication 1034, Disaster Loss: How to Claim a State Tax Deduction.
Taxpayers can claim a disaster loss in one of two ways. They may claim the disaster loss for the 2024 tax year when they file their return next spring, or they may claim the loss against 2023 income on this year's return. An amended return may be filed by those who already have filed this year. The advantage of claiming the disaster loss on a tax year 2023 return is that FTB can issue a refund sooner.
If an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice related to the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.
Disaster victims also may receive free copies of their state returns to replace those lost or damaged. Taxpayers may complete form FTB 3516 and write the name of the disaster in blue or black ink at the top of the request.
FTB notes the following existing statutory provisions that could provide additional relief to taxpayers automatically or upon request and based on their facts and circumstances:

 Taxpayers have until October 15th to file returns with CA, but payment is due on June 17, 2024 (for San Diego County taxpayers).
 Reasonable cause for individuals (upon request).
 Reasonable cause for business entities (upon request).
