I have been looking for a long time and made the decision not to pursue it due to losing my SSDI. I have my health insurance and I can't afford to lose that as well as my other benefits. I don't have a lot of experience since I haven't been given a chance after all of the interviews I went on. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for volunteer work? I would like to do something with production, manufacturing, or packing or even packaging. If any of you have any insight into this and some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been in the office field all of my life and I don't really want to do that.

My local office had no idea what the rules are and neither does the national office when I have contacted them. I have only had a good experience in Louisiana. Fortunately, my last jobs did not pay high enough to effect things,and the next job that I am after that looks promising, I will be slightly above the maximum even after taking out my taxes to get it down. No big deal since I can get it dow nthe rest of the way between transportations and a couple other things that I can deduct.<br>Jordan</p><p>On Sat, Feb 6, 2021, 10:49 PM ajharmon26 via Job-Discussions <<a href="mailto:job-discussions@nfbnet.org">job-discussions@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br>><br>> Potentially unpopular opinion which would like counter-facts please: SSDI takes too much work to get on to and is far too easy to lose.
