Hello All,
I have worked since I was about 16, and I am still currently working. I have just been accepted for SS Disability. I will get about $633 per month. My question is....are there anyother ways to get a medical card. Because I'm accepted for SSDI, that means I will be able to get a medical card in 24 months. Which will put me at Feb, 2007. I would like to work full time but I could only do that for 9 months for the trial work period, then there is a cap of $830 monthly of what I can make gross. I'd be saving the government $ if they'd let me work full time, but the kicker is, then I would lose the possibility of a medical card. It's a catch 22.
Does anyone know anything else to do regarding the medical card. It's not like CF goes away, or like it will even improve for me. I'm 27 and can't imagine how I'll be at 29.
I'd appreciate any adivce from people who are faced with this or have dealt with this.
Thanks,
Kelli
