My husband lost his job (not his doing) last month. It's been incredibly hard watching him get rejected as he applies to job. But he has a phone interview this afternoon, so fingers crossed. I desperately wish I could help provide but due to my health and being on dialysis I cannot. Hopefully I'll hear about disability soon. Going to school, health matters and a lost job is a lot to handle at the moment

@EllyOnTheGo it is a lot :) Wishing him a successful interview 💚

@EllyOnTheGo Good luck. I know how hard it is to get any sort of Disability, SSI, or SSDI. I hope your husband nails his job interview.❤️

@EllyOnTheGo You're welcome. If you're denied, file an appeal. I know with SSI/SSDI people often get denied multiple times before they get approved.

@lisaannlm @EllyOnTheGo

People I know say on third try with disability attorney.

Then success. 🎶

@LnzyHou @lisaannlm I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'll deal with it if it comes!

@EllyOnTheGo

Oh no! I'm heartbroken to hear this about your husband! Prayers that he lands a job soon. 🙏 You are both dealing with a very stressful situation. Please remember to be gentle with yourself! Especially now! Things will work out!

@Spagesgallo1 Thank you! Especially heading into the winter months, it's not ideal but we'll make it work!

@EllyOnTheGo

I know and with the holidays coming up doesn't help either. But I get the sense that you are a great team and will get through this storm as well! Praying that you get your SSD soon as well! Can your SW at the dialysis unit help you apply for Food Stamps and Home Delivered Meals? Just a thought.

@Spagesgallo1 we are thankfully not at that point right now but will use our resources should the time come

@EllyOnTheGo

Thank goodness for that! At least you know that you have resources to fall back on if needed.

@EllyOnTheGo
Hang in there. Finding another job is a grind, but it WILL happen. Fill the funnel with applications and one will break his way.

@EllyOnTheGo took me a long time even with the luxury of my current job. Don't get disheartened - that means little. I eventually got my dream job. Hang in there. All the best for your husband
