So said the very nice Social Security Disability case worker. Less than 51 minutes later I was assured that my first payment would be September. I know of a few of you who have applied for SS Disability. You have to fill out tons of paperwork. Which I did months of ago. Thus, I was so happy, since I had been denied at that time, I didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again. And who said that there's a lot red tape with the government? 51 minutes... :)
I was told, as everyone who gets SS Disability, you HAVE to wait 5 months from the date you apply or your last date of work.
Update: This past week (May 7th) I received a phone call from Social Security and I have been approved! And not only that but the children will also receive a stipend (is that the correct word?) Anyway, between what I will be getting and what we'll receive from the children, the total will be about $400.00 less than was bringing home. God is INCREDIBLE. I have to confess the way I've been feeling lately, I'm still to drained to anything to help make up any salary. (I can make up to $900.00 a month without penalty.)
Oh yea, the 5 month wait? Well that translate into like the 3rd Wednesday in October :)! They always pay a month behind.
Yet God is so incredibly good!!!
