Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well, I went for the fasting bloodwork this morning. I wasn't even allowed to brush my teeth first, because my toothpaste has sugar in it. Get over there (no coffee yet)and get most of the way through with registration, just to find out that my MA hasn't opened yet. (was approved last friday). Call the caseworker to find out why. He says (and I quote) Well, you get 259 a week in your husbands unemployment, so I;m not going to qualify you. " !!!! Now, that's gross income. After taxes are taken out, it barely pays the mortgage and utilities. It doesn't even leave 20 bux a week for gas in the car so he can look for other work while he's laid off! How do they figure that's enough to pay for 2500 worth of bloodwork!!!! He said we won't qualify for foodstamps either. We still have a child at home under the age of 18. We qualify according to the state income level limits. This guy is just being a jerk. I don't get anything from disability yet, and he's ticked off about that too. (it's been 5 years, why can't you just get on with it.) Why do we have to tolerate people like this? It's bad enough that my husband is going to be out of work for 3 months out of the year, every year. This is not new, it happens around here all the time. Nobody mines stone in the winter, so they don't need his pallets. What else can I do? Even if I get approved for disability at some point in the future, I have to be receiving benefits for 2 years in order to qualify for medical assistance or medicare through them. HELP!
