Quite a lot of alarming information here; no, it does not matter if you are being paid via a check or cash. Long as your employer is making the proper withholding deductions (federal and local taxes, FICA, etc....), and keeping accurate records there is little to worry about.


Lack of a paper record (pay stub) *may* mean in certain instances someone will want specific information from your employer. This is where notarized or whatever letters/statements come into the picture.


Plenty of people are paid in cash, from household domestics (maids, nannies, drivers, etc....) to construction workers. Indeed some employees prefer this because they do not have bank accounts and want to avoid check cash places.


Long as you and your employer are filing and paying proper taxes on wages, there is nothing to get worried about.

Unless speaking of a *very* small enterprise or whatever, nearly *everyone* pays (or is required) quarterly estimated taxes. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small...stimated-taxes


This person has already stated she/he receives a W2 and pays taxes (if owed) based upon that information. Thus a 1099 has nothing to do with this situation at all: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small...stimated-taxes


Main reason for filing a 1099 is when funds are paid for work/service or whatever *and* taxes were not withheld. This usually is due to the person in question being self-employed/independent contractor. Again this does not apply here as poster has stated several times his/her *employer* pays wages and withholds taxes.


Stop scaring this poor person with misleading information.

Something is lost in translation there... maybe she meant applying for nycha housing and not affordable housing.

I had to read it twice myself. The article says that she has been applying for 20 years but has never gotten called. That's how lotteries work. NYCHA is not a lottery but sort of a waitlist.

Thanks for all the great info on here.

Has anyone successfully moved in with with a boyfriend/girlfriend not on the application? I am in a situation where my girlfriend is moving to the city (unbeknownst to us when I applied) as I am going through the interview process for a middle income apartment. I know what the rules state but I would love to hear from people to see what happens in practice and if we should even bother trying to get her in. How much oversight is there in the beginning for new tenants in these units? Thanks!

It depends on the type of security the building has. A doorman? She will be found out right away. Key fob? Yes, if paired with a photo taken every time she uses it. Some new buildings are using facial recognition software.

I would recommend being honest. Find her another place to live, then after six months or so, contact the landlord as specified in your lease. You won't lose the apartment, assuming it's rent stabilized.

To my knowledge, there is no actual timeframe stated anywhere for when an additional occupant can move in. So I picked six months out of thin air as a respectable amount of time to move someone in.

You also have to present your bank statements. What if you have some substantial savings, eg 55K, does it mean you will get disqualified ?
