So I guess i'm screwed

JennifersHope · Jan 17, 2008

Not to sound rude to anyone but it is so much easier to marry into the welfare system and or to do nothing for yourself in this country or they will screw you...

I am with you, I currently pay over 600 hundred dollars out of my own pocket for insurance to cover me, granted I am have two insurances but I still pay an arm and a leg for medication... BUT if I didn't work, I could just have the doctor write me a presciption for whatever I needed, take it to the pharmacy and have it filled for free.

RIght now my health is in a way where I should be able to cut out working for six months just to concentrate on getting some strength back, etc.. I can't do it, why because I work, and their are screwed up rules..

So I drag my sorry sick butt to work, and work and take care of others who are milking the system for free..

Gee I don't mean to sound bitter but it sure sounds like I am..and actually I am not I just wanted to say I here and feel your pain.. and I am making a move for all working class to stop working and supporting the ppl with the right idea not to work.. (PPl with real disasease who are unable to work excluded)

Yup. This country rewards leeches and penalizes people who actually try to contribute. I'm glad my dad was cremated, because if he was buried he would be spinning in his grave knowing the money he put into the system for so long will be taken away from his terminally diseased kid, and giving to someone else. More than likely a non working leech, who probably floated over here on a raft, who spends their day watching family feud reruns.

The CF lawyer is named Beth Sufian, bsufian@usacfa.org. Email her and give her a brief rundown of the situation and she will probably send back a number you can call and talk to her.

Yes, if the government screws up and you pay the price.

From what I understand if you are on SSDI, if you work, there is a monthly cap based on what you make. And usually it is way under what most human beings can live on, let alone a person with a disease. You can look into that ticket to work, but I believe it also carries an amount cap. I tried working for a while, but the more hours I took on, the sicker I got. On SSDI you can own anything and have no limit money in ur bank accounts and not get in trouble, On SSI, you can only have one residence, one primary car and no more than $2500 in your name (whether it is in the bank or land u are inheriting).

But, yes, there is a cap on what you can make monthy, reguardless if you are the person who paid in the SS and receiving the disability or a disable child of that person. And no, it's not fair that a parent puts in all that time and money into the government and the govt are just waiting for a chance to take it away from you. I'm in NC and this is my understanding of what goes on here. You may want to look up ur state rules and contact Beth. She helped me out on some similar questions.

Very sorry for your situation.

I don't know your age, but I have never heard of SS being determined upon a parents income unless you are under 18 and getting their benefits. I was on SS when I was 21-23, it was based off my income already. SSDI may be different/ The cutoff that you speak of has nothing to do with how much you made in the past, it is a standard number they place across the board. I know, it's not particularly fair, we get sick, cant work full time but we still try, and we cant get help because we made over 900 (it was 760 a month just a couple years ago-did it change) But anyways, its life. We have to deal with it. And no, I am not just saying that because I have never been there. I have. I started collecting after being off work for an extended period a number of years back. I thought that the income limit was based off net income. Well, needless to say, I collected for 2 years, didn't have adequate records of my income so I have to pay back too. I would have been much better off not going back to work as well, but hey, I was at least getting by ok for the time being. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">)

I look at it this way, whats one more cf related bill. Thats the price WE pay for TRYING. Could choose to be a state case, but that would be too easy right? Anyways, the only way to beat the system is to not use it. Just like any state or fed funded program, you have a choice, don't work, be poor, work a crappy job and get benefits and be poor anyway, get a mediocre job that you wont qualify and get benefits and still be poor, or be one of the lucky ones that everything falls into place and does alright. The odds are definitely stacked against us. It pisses me off everyday that an illness can have such large monetary effects on us. It's hardly in our control, we sure didn't ask for it. Then you get people making us feel guilty for being broke or not being able to pay our bill on our huge 900 a month incomes. Like we don't have enough worries.

Bi#$hes!!!!
