Levels of homelessness are on the rise, as are requests and applications for IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) help. More and more people are turning to IVA help as a way to deal with their financial problems and those that can't get IVA help risk winding up on the streets. Both the increase in applications for IVA help and this year's 8% rise in homelessness are symptoms of the country-wide economic downturn.

For those Americans who would like to make some extra cash by reporting on friends or family who cheat on their taxes, the IRS has two whistleblower programs. Both programs run off of a central principal that the larger the amount of money recouped, the more money given to the whistleblower.

For this program, whistleblowers can earn as much as 15 percent of the amount recouped, though it is unusual to make that much. The second program is a large-awards program, which involves cases of unpaid taxes over $2 million dollars. For these cases, whistleblowers can make significantly more money, with rewards reaching as much as 30 percent.
