Medical Debt Erased: Thousands of Cleveland have been receiving letters that their old medical debt has been cancelled by the non-profit RIP Medical Debt using $1.9 million in funds provided by Cleveland City Council.
The cancellation of this medical debt - currently totaling nearly $137 million and $33 million from two separate hospital systems - is a no-strings-attached gift and does not result in earned income or taxes. Residents no longer have any obligation to pay this debt to anyone. No income taxes are owed. Residents do not apply for this, but instead are notified when it's cancelled. More old debt cancellation is expected in the future. For more information go to: www.ripmedicaldebt.org.
