Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I am a little nervous. I have a job interview on Thursday. It is the first time I've had a job interview in like 5 years and the first time I have seriously considered working in 2 years since going on SSDI. I did find out that I techanically have about a year before it would effect my SSDI benefits. I would have a nine month trial basis and an additional 3 months after that. It was recommended that not only do I call, but that I send a certified letter return receipt requested when I get a job. This would mean that if SSA decided to come back and state that I had not notified them, I have documentation of the notification as well as a signed reciept that they received it. I am also going to be keeping any pay stubs I get and document who I talked to at SSA. Any way, the interview is with a company called Educare. It would be working with individuals with developmental disabilities in a day hab environment. We would probably be doing a variety of training type things such as money management, pre-vocational training, and some basic living skills like setting the table, etc. Lori Owen - Denton, Texas SRVG 7/16/01 Dr. Ritter/Dr. Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Thanks . Actually I have been doing some volunteer work with the company that holds the contract now so I know I can do the job. I guess I am worried that I won't be able to do the 40 hours. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Lori O. On Tue, 19 Aug 2003 22:07:24 -0000 " watnext2001 " writes: > Oh, Lori, good luck!
