Melissa--
I had the same ? when I didn't see you on here. Hope things are OK. Janet

They use last years W2 to determine if you qualify

That's stupid. It doesn't reflect a thing about your current situation. Years ago, I applied out of fear for my situation at the time and could have easily won my case. I don't recall them asking for that information. When I found out how little the help actually was, I opted to go to college and try to get a job using my brain instead of my brawn. Instead, I got help from friends and family that made my living situation a lot less expensive so I could continue on.

financial need for SSI is extremely low...something like no more than $3000 for a
married couple....anyone with income much more than that would not be considered for
SSI....

Thanks for asking everyone. I had several appointments at UCI so I stayed with a friend. I could not carry my computer .I am doing ok .I start PT Monday so we shall see how that goes. Hope everyone has a good weekend

I had my first PT eval for my shoulders. I hurt so much after the appt was over. I hope that my pain goes away soon. Next week, I will have an eval for my fibro.
I plan on going 2X a week for my shoulders and 1 X a week for my fibro

For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, I ask that you pray for my husband. He has a phone interview tomorrow for a position that he really would like. The job is in a great location with a very good salary as well as good benefits.

Thanks for prayers. They really help

[JenniferG]

All the best to your husband. You are both overdue some really good luck. Let's hope this is the beginning of it. I'm sure if things start going well for you, it will help with your health. Let us know how he goes.

[Doodles]

Absolutely--I'm on it! Best of luck to you both. I agree with Jennifer--you are OVERdue for good luck. Janet

My husband had the telephone interview with HR manager who is in NYC.
The next step is go to to NYC and interview with the person who would be his boss
Finally, the last two candidates will go back to NYC to meet with the CFO

Thanks for the prayers and good wishes

I am so happy for you Melissa. Try not to probe too much as to what happened. Give her time to open up to you.

We are going to let the conversation flow with her direction. Whenever she wants to tell us that will be fine. I am just thrilled that she is going to be with us again. God is so great. Please keep on praying until she is on the plane out of NC. Also, pray that the last several problems will have answers soon

[mabeckoff]

It is one week to when my daughter arrives. I have been doing PT twice a week and next week I will be evaluated for fibro PT. Life is going OK. Now my husband just needs to get a job
