I would like to get the word out there to ANY and ALL field agents working for any company that contracts with Lifeline to sign up people for a cell phone. If you are hired as a 1099 contractor, AND are forced to attend weekly meetings, forced to adhere to a weekly schedule, forced to man the tents, are given supplies by the company to do your job including clothing, ipad, tablet, etc, AND hate the fact that you are paying 100% of your FICA/SS taxes with NO workers' comp coverage, when the employer really should be paying:
please file this form with the IRS
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Misclassified-Workers-to-File-New-Social-Security-Tax-Form
They have hired you illegally unless you are able to make your own schedule, purchase your own supplies, and never, never are forced to man a tent or work a set schedule. GET YOUR MONEY BACK. File the IRS form and they will help you.
There are many more companies out there doing this, but Assurance, Reach Out and Safelink are the three heavy hitters. They MUST be stopped.....file your complaint today.
