|---|---|
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1) | 3,363 Minnesotans received direct free legal care services for a combined 3,872 different legal issues and an additional 5,572 received additional outreach and education via 166 group presentations to Minnesota cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, attorneys, and health care providers. Cancer Legal Care helps Minnesotans all over the state meet basic needs by providing legal care in the following areas: Insurance Coverage (health insurance, short/long term disability); Housing and Financial (eviction, foreclosure, creditor issues, bankruptcy); Employment (ADA/MHRA discrimination/reasonable accommodation, FMLA); Legal Planning (health care directives, guardianship, wills, Powers of Attorney) and Public Benefits (Social Security Disability, Medicaid). By receiving critical legal care at a vulnerable time, Minnesotans affected by cancer experience enhanced financial security and family stability, and report improved health and well-being. Cancer Legal Care works closely with oncology providers and cancer support groups throughout the state. Cancer Legal Care is the only organization providing direct legal care services to the Minnesota cancer community. Cancer Legal Care exists for three reasons: 1. The prevalence of cancer. Like the rest of the nation, 1 in 3 Minnesota women, and 1 in 2 Minnesota men, will be diagnosed with a potentially serious cancer at some point in their life. Every year, approximately 25,080 new cases are diagnosed and 9,200 people die from cancer in Minnesota. An estimated 276,770 Minnesotans are cancer survivors. Cancer affects people at every stage of life, across all income levels. 2. The financial devastation that cancer brings. Nationally, 30-50% of all cancer patients fall below the poverty line during their treatment. Studies show that during the first year after diagnosis, the probability of a cancer patient being employed drops by 10%, and 3 in 10 working women diagnosed with breast cancer will not be employed four years later. Cancer survivors are two and half times more likely to file for bankruptcy than people without cancer and those cancer survivors who do file are 80% more likely to die than cancer patients who don't file for bankruptcy protection. A 2007 study found that 62% of the personal bankruptcies filed were due in part to a significant piece of medical debt--a 49% increase in bankruptcies attributable to medical debt since 2001. Of these 2007 bankruptcy filers, 78% had health insurance. Over 14% of Minnesotans are covered by high deductible insurance plans, nearly twice the national average. A diagnosis that comes near the end of one calendar year necessitates meeting a $13,000 deductible twice in a short period of time, surpassing the financial ability of many families. 3. The lack of any other resource for this critically needed legal care. The substantive legal issues cancer patients face surrounding employment law, health insurance and private long term disability benefit coverage denials, and estate planning are not typically within the array of services provided by traditional legal aid. Given the financial freefall in which so many cancer survivors find themselves, they are wholly unable to afford a private attorney. Thus, cancer survivors find themselves in the gap between the help traditional legal aid provides and the affordability of the private bar. At CLC, we see this stark reality in our clients' lives each day. Behind each one of these statistics is an individual or a family in crisis. The average age of CLC's clients is 55 years, in the prime of their working, and often, family-raising years. Additionally, 42 percent of our 2018 clients who know the stage of their cancer, report that they are living with Stage IV cancer. The combined effect results in amplified consequences if a cancer survivor's specific legal needs remain unmet. Mounting medical bills coupled with job loss/unpaid leave, all too often lead to financial devastation for the entire family. Many middle class Minnesotans face abject poverty for the first time in their lives following their cancer diagnosis and experience additional complications for their survivorship stemming from their poverty. These are health problems that have legal, not medical, solutions. Legal care is often the key to ensuring basic needs are met and means of providing short and long term financial security and family stability. Examples of the cancer community's need for legal care and the difference it makes one family at a time include effectively negotiating an extended, job-protected leave in order to maintain employment during and after treatment; understanding the critical timing issues of applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) so mistakes aren't made, resulting in an otherwise unnecessary delay in the receipt of cash benefits and medical coverage; creating guardianship documents to ease the lives of children as they transition from the care of their deceased parent to another adult. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | CLC's CEO/ED and its Executive Committee review the draft 990. Any questions are addressed and any necessary revisions are made. The full board of directors is then supplied with an electronic copy of the final 990 prior to filing. The board is encouraged to review the 990 and ask any questions that they have. The board discusses the filed 990 at the next board meeting and approves the filing with the State of Minnesota. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | CLC's board members and officers are all subject to a conflict of interest policy that requires decision making on any transaction that would affect any of those individual's "material financial interest(s)" or would significantly affect their personal interest(s) ("appearance conflicts") to be affected on action of the entire board, after the board has been given prior notice of the individual(s) and the conflict(s), and with only Directors who are independent of the party with the actual or perceived conflict participating. The question as to whether an individual has a conflict falling within the policy is decided by the board, not including in its deliberations or vote the party(ies) whose conflict is at issue. All potential, perceived, or actual conflicts are reviewed on an annual basis, and every year at our first board meeting of the year in January, each board member completes and signs our conflicts disclosure. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The CEO/Ed's salary is set each year by the Executive Committee, comprised of our board chair, secretary and treasurer. The Executive Committee reviews the most recent "Minnesota Nonprofit Salary and Benefit Survey" prepared by the Minnesota Council for Nonprofits in setting the Executive Director's salary. All of the board members/officers are independent. The publication provides helpful listing of comparable salaries, benefits and other compensation measures for similar positions, relative to education and experience across a wide range of nonprofit organizations. Compensation is also based on the CEO/ED's job performance over the past year. The Executive Committee meets with the CEO/ED to review and assess progress made during the year in meeting goals set forth as part of the CEO/ED's written job requirement and performance obligations. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | The website at page http://www.cancerlegalcare.org/who-we-are/governing-docments.html clearly states Cancer Legal Care's conflict of interest statement, governing documents, financial statements. Public documents are located at our office at 6 Pine Tree Drive, Suite 120, Arden Hills, MN 55112. |
