No, I got the reprimand for the post-op recovery time. I was "let go"
because I "didn't accept the alternate position they offered me"-the
middle shift housekeeping job. You know, the one I didn't have any
transportation for.

My last week of work was the first week of January, 1996.

I think its called "Medical leave act", I think I am missing a word in the begining, I'll look it up later..... Might be the same medical leave act that protects parents from loosing thier jobs to take care of criticallly ill family members.

Take it easy as much as possible. You'll need your strength.
I thought I would fill in a blank for you..It's the Family Medical Leave Act..

Because my shunt (little tube) died on me roughly a month after graduation (and a day after my graduation party, I haven't done one single thing. (Except sit and rot on SS. ) Though, I am working on it.

I think that, when a person is on SSDI, they should be made aware of
every program that is available to them: Medicare/Medicaid, housing,
transportation, etc. Every effort should be made to help people afford
these services. They should be contacted by Social Security and given
information on these services.

I wish someone from Social Security would come over here and see the
conditions I have to live in. Maybe then they'd see how badly I need to
move out.

Social Security doesn't make people aware of programs or make home visits --- BUT the case workers at Social Services in every state can/will do those types of things.

All you have to do is call your local Social Services Department, inform them of your disability, and request a case worker. Those case workers can/will find any and all programs that are available to you, will help you apply for them, etc... It doesn't matter if the programs are on a federal level, state level, or local level, the case workers at social services can help you with all of them.

So there is a difference between the SSI and SSDI in terms of money?
