99% of the time, states lump seniors among the disabled. Strongly suggest that you fill out applications at all the places you look into and/or interested in regarding subsidized housing. Most have waiting lists. Depending on the state or county you live in, the waiting list can stretch for years. Especially for Section 8 housing. The newer places hold lotteries. At least they do in my state. The best thing for you to do to get you started is to go to your state and/or county's website. Click on the "Housing." tab and go from there. Good luck!

It's best to continue on this thread then respond to the outdated threads of others.
Janke has previously written about the problem of returning to work within 12 months in this forum. Here's a link that explains why: http://cascadiadisabilitylaw.com/wp/...aimant-beware/ |

http://ssblog.bsgfdlaw.com/can-i-wor...lity-benefits/ And this: http://www.ssa.gov/work/overview.html#a0=1 A major advantage of signing up for the Ticket to Work program is that you'll, "•Be protected from receiving a medical continuing disability review while using the Ticket and making the expected progress with work or educational goals." Most doctors and therapists are pretty clueless about SSDI and SSI. But, it is true that SS can't just take away your benefits with no warning. --If SS found you're no longer eligible you would have three months continuing pay and you'd also have the opportunity to fight the decision via appeal during which time you'd continue to receive benefits. If you ultimately lost your appeal you could potentially be responsible for paying back the extra months of benefits you received. |

Thanks both of you for replying and supplying links. SSA set my onset as of 9/01/13 so as of now I believe that puts me in the 12 month period of after being proven disabled, so it maybe safer to get that part time job now, but I still think I'm better off waiting. This has caused me much anxiety and complicated my health to the point where my therapist thinks waiting longer for part time work no matter how low stress is a better idea. As far as the housing predicament, I may look into getting a roommate when the time comes. It's not like my mom is kicking me out. I can be here forever if I want, it's just that I want to be a grown up and move on with my life....
Anyhoo, thanks for all the links and support, you guys ROCK! Canswicky |

[QUOTE=Mz Migraine;1098800][B]LIT LOVE provided a link for you to "research." Did you read all of the info? Pertains to you.
Not trying to be nosy or anything but what type of "bills" are we talking about here? Asking because, there are some resources out there that may be able to help. Examples: Cable bills - Comcast & Verizon FIOS have discount programs for seniors/disabled. You may qualify for food stamps. Check w/your local Social Service Office. Utilities - Most states have programs. Again check w/your local Social Service Office. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Read the stickies at the top of this website. Loads of info there that may be of further assistance while you are waiting for a response here.[ |

And you should also remember that the point of work incentives and the Ticket To Work is to get you back into the work force and off of disability benefits, while giving you time to see if you can do it. You may be able to use the work incentives as a way of making more money, but that is not the intent of the policies. You may want to look into Impairment Related Work Expenses that reduce the wages when comparing them to SGA amounts. Those would be expenses that you have, that a non-disabled person would not have, that allow you to be able to work - modifications to your environment that you pay for, additional medication that you pay for, etc. These are not common, but they exist. |
