I’m hoping to get disability soon cos I have no job anymore. I pay rent at home but my savings are gonna run out if disability dont back track my payments

My situation sucks at the moment. I earn too much and don’t qualify for Medicaid anymore, but how am I supposed to pay for my medical bills out of pocket? I have a Medicare insurance plan, but the meds are killing me!

I get disability payments and I have some private income.

I’ll be working for another week, then I’ll be freeloading at home until I hopefully apply for and get approved for disability.

It’s not open enrollment anymore, but if you recently lost Medicaid you may still be able to apply. Even if not you can still try to apply they just might turn you down. But what about a zero cost Medicare advantage plan?

Freeloading right now but hopefully work will become a possibility for me as soon as I hear back about my disability claim.

I’m dependent on my parents, disability could be considered “freeloading” too

13

if supposedly normal people didn’t persecute the mentally ill, a lot fewer would be disabled.

14

I get disability but I also work.

15

I’m trying to get back to work, disability doesn’t pay enough, and my sz, is mostly in remission. it just takes time finding the right employer

I was just granted disability this month. It was surprisingly an easy process for me

@LED I did just get a renewal for Medicaid in the mail. I was told by the insurance co in December that I lost the Extra Help and Medicaid because I had too much assets. But they were wrong, put me in the wrong plan and screwed up all the billing. So in a panic due to recent health problems I changed plans outside the open enrollment due to the medical emergency. I now have a Medigap Part F. I didn’t even know such a thing was available, you know there are Parts A-D of medicare but no one talks about E-Z

And I’m getting married in August so that’ll change things again I’m sure. Its all very confusing.

Soooo confusing! I tried to figure it out last year and just gave up and went with the only zero cost plan available because I was so overwhelmed with it all.

Plus this Medigap was supposed to cover everything, I was told EVERYTHING. But it doesn’t. Been denied multiple meds, even if there is no alternative med. And one procedure, which i’m fighting to get covered.
