Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

It was knowing I was costing my family more per month by existing than I got in disability. Seriously, my mother once calculated it and printed it out.
Even if I gave them every single cent I got, I would still be a net negative.
But 76 days from now, that won't be a problem anymore.
Check your state for "disability extra help", you might qualify for additional benefits. Our state had 3 levels of "extra help". When I applied for my son, he "qualified" for only a small amount based on the descriptions. When they reviewed the application, he was approved for a different level, a much larger amount, because their interpretation of the qualification was different from mine.
If you mean SSI, I already get that.
Sorry for the delay, something came up and I forgot to respond earlier.
No, SSI is different. Alabama used to have 3 different Extra help options, but looks like only the QI-1 is available this year due to funding issues. Search for Medicare Savings Programs or Extra Help (here is a pdf from ssa.gov - but your state needs to have enough money to fund the program. Search for "your state" Extra Help, and maybe it will show up.

May the love of God keep your Spirits high for a beautiful future. Never think you are a burden to anyone. Why even God feeds the birds of the air and clothes the flowers in the field. Matthew 6:26-30
