Well; on Tuesday I got approved for SSI; with a small amount of backpay; so tomorrow I'll call welfare & report it (I'm on foodstamps & medical asst). Starting in March I'll receive SSDI & SSI; still not much but every bit helps. Now if I could just get approved for HUD; I applied for it last summer. They say they don't know what number I am; on their waiting list. This seems abit strange to me; why wouldn't they know? Take care. Thanks to all for your info.
