[Blindtlk] Inquiry

[trishs]

My suggestion is to start with a rehab worker, because, being 
blind automatically gets you SSI.  There is a program having to 
do with "pass to work" which will still provide SSI payments to 
you depending on your earnings.  Who ever told you you can't get 
SSI is giving you the run-around.  I apologize if I'm wrong, but, 
I don't think I am, although, there could be some loop-hole where 
you started out working and then applied instead of the other way 
around, but, the fact that you're blind still remains the same.  
Look into it.

>TO anyone that can answer my question.  To summerize I am Legally 
blind 32yld that has a job at Target and work about 20hours a 
week and don't really make enough to survive.  I am not able to 
apply for SSI because they say I work so I am not eligable to 
apply for it.  I have to not be able to work to be able to apply.  
My question is there anywhere that I can get Income help that can 
help me monthly and able to afford rent and all my bills.  It 
would be great if I can get help.  Thank you.
