So, these rules can go even deeper than at the state level. According to Alexis, it could even depend on what county/city within a particular State. Then if you do work the min. 4 hours per day according to Alexis and even if it is under SGA, they still hold this against you and might make getting SSDI/SSI harder to get. It is a catch 22. Glad family is able to help out Alexis until you can get approval.

You need to call your local welfare office ASAP Monday morning and speak to a supervisor, In Ohio they WILL exempt you from the work program if you can show proof your in the disability process.

Like elvis said call them tomorrow asap and speak to supervisor and tell them you CANT work your disabled and waiting on your letter from hearing.IF they cant fix it my daughter said calls Omsbudsmen its toll free if you have have issues local office and need help resolving or something like that they will help she said but she doesnt have toll free number today bc shes not at office and she has meeting tomorrow but if you cant find number ill have her call and get it

thanks elvis and xceldanes i swear we have been through this, i have done this i have a case manager with valley counseling and we have tried. am ombudsman would be my last hope. how do you do that. the ssa is driving me to a point where i do not want to be. i can feel it. some one wrote prepare for the worst and hope for the best. i wish i knew how to take pictures of my papers and send them. that says i have to work 126 hours a month.

losing it. but will hold on, i have children. thank you for listening. will let everybody know when there is news, thank you

Alexis, your disability is for SSDI right?

Lost I dont get why her ssdi case so long she had hearing ALJ I want say March but sometime ago(id have to look back through our pms) then the JUDGE sent her to CE in June I think it was way after hearing and now shes still waiting on hearing decsion.My heartbreaks for her.Makes me mad bc I no they are jacking her around on the work crap my daughter is social worker for the welfare office I no in ky and alexis Oh but from what Ive been told if she cant work had Dr note and My daughter said here if your over certain age 45 on some 50 on others your exempt as well so I dont no why theyve done his to her.Shes 50 disabled and 2 kids at home so unfair.

you hit the nail right on the head, when i called the ssa on july 10th, they said that they had looked at my case on july 2nd and i should wait a week or two. this is driving me batty. I want to call again but i do not want to get on there bad side since it is so close.

@xceldanes, yeah I agree. Alexis and I are around the same age. It does seem unfair (the termination of her cash assistance) after what you and Elvis wrote about the exemption if you can show you are in the disability process. I know the DDS has certain rules and guidelines that they must follow to ensure a correct decision is made but a lot seems to be random, depending mostly of the adjudicator who decides your claim. I had someone tell me in another forum about being approved in less than 6 months for depression only and he had only been DXed a year prior and did not have a pile of medical records. This guy was bragging about how easy it was and that he could not believe how he had been approved so soon.
