Legal Question in Business Law in California
In 2004-2005, I worked as an independent contractor to SAIC on a government program (Missle Defense). They still owe me ~ $60,000. They gave me the run around for years and I lost my home on November 2008. I lived in Denver for 8 months, and now live in San Francisco with daughter. I collect food stamps. SAIC now says they tried to pay me last year but could not contact me (bullshit!).
What can I do? I am broke.....

If you did nothing about being owed $60,000.00 for four years you are probably out of luck. If you did any of the work after September 22, 2005, you MIGHT be able to collect some of it. You'll need to hire a lawyer.
It is not entirely clear from your posting as to what position SAIC now takes as to the money owed you. Is SAIC refusing to pay you, even though it tried to "find" you last year to make payment?
Assuming that SAIC is now refusing to pay, your time period to collect may or may not have run out. Further, SAIC may be willing to pay notwithstanding any time problems.
In short, you need an attorney. Some might take a case such as this on a contingency fee basis. If you would like a consultation, please contact my office at 800-988-4807
