Hi everyone,

This document has been requested of me several times over the last few
months, so I thought I would share it here.  If you know of members
who are not connected to our list, please send along these
instructions.  Likewise, if your fellow chapter members are not on
this list, please share these instructions with your chapter when it
next meets.  Membership begins with connection, so let's get our
fellow blind Missourians connected with our list serve!  Thanks.

Hi everyone,
On August 11th, the Mineral Area Chapter will be holding a That?s So Eighties Trivia night.  We are trying to find theme related NFB questions to add into the mix.  I think it will be a great educational opportunity.  So, we are asking the help of those who are great historians and those who just love trivia to help us come up with a list.  We are having a chapter meeting on the 18th of this month and I would like to have a list of possible questions.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.  
Roger

Hi,

 

Travelling from Orlando to atlanta, did anyone else endure rude staff while
switching planes in atlanta?

I walked off of the plane in atlanta and a woman with a wheelchair was
waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me closer to the wheelchair and attempted to
push me down in the wheelchair.

I gave a laser stare and said you need to learn not to push people down in a
wheelchair!

Way to go nfb, I thought the blind had it better than this now days.

Hello Roger:

We had the first Knowledge bowl dealing with Nfb history at the 2000 State convention here in Jefferson City and it was sure fun.

Subject: [NFBMO] Transition to Blindness: A Conversation That Is Happening
 in the NFB of Missouri
Message-ID: <CY4PR1001MB21978730215E9A6EA2B52A37885E0@CY4PR1001MB2197.namprd10.prod.outlook.com>

Dear Friends:

On the third Thursdays of every month at 8 p.m., there is a Transition to Blindness Call hosted by the NFB of Missouri. The next one will be July 19. This call is done by telephone conference. The call in information is as follows:

Phone 605-468-8005
Passcode 1774

When this conference started, I did not think I could learn much from it since I have been blind for several years. I decided to call in anyway last year and concluded that I had been wrong. Not only did I learn much from these conference calls, but I also got a chance to help other blind people deal with their blindness. Regardless of your level of blindness and how much time you have been blind, I would encourage you to attend these conference calls.

As you know, the Braille Monitor is the NFB's flagship publication and is edited by our very own Gary Wunder. The current issue carries an article about the Transition to Blindness Call.  I will post it below my signature for you to read. This is just one example of what you can read in the Braille Monitor. If you haven't yet subscribed, what are you waiting for? One of my favorite things to do every month is to read the Braille Monitor and I think you will enjoy it too.

Transition to Blindness: A Conversation That Should Happen in the Federation
by Debbie Wunder
[Debbie Wunder]From the Editor: Debbie Wunder is my wife, so forget my being detached or objective. I like the initiative she proposed to our Missouri affiliate, and I'm pleased about the story she has to tell.
Since I have been totally blind since birth, I have little to contribute to the discussion of what it is to transition to blindness, but as a Federationist I have every reason to want to know about any experience that people share because of it. I am naturally curious, but, more than this, I am under an obligation to learn so that I may be the best ambassador for the organization that I can. Reaching out and engaging is more than knowing how to deliver our message; it is also knowing the audience for that message and in many cases doing a lot of listening. I have been on some of these calls and enjoy the honesty and wide-ranging discussions the group has, and hats off to our affiliate for welcoming the challenge. Here is how Debbie tells the story:
I have always been blind, but only within the last few years have I lost all of my vision. My predominant reaction to vision loss has been surprise: surprise at how much I used my vision, surprise at the grief I had in losing it, and surprise at how reluctant I have been to talk about it in the NFB, where everyone seems to have adjusted to it without the pain or the difficulty I have experienced.
Because I believe in the NFB and feel we should be involved in all things blindness-related, I asked our affiliate if we could host a monthly transition to blindness group using a telephone conference service. Many were a bit scared by the request: would this be something positive, or would it be a poor-pity-me group? Would it bring people down, or did we have the answers to help build them up? Despite the concerns, the consensus was that the NFB should talk about all aspects of blindness and that ours should not be the group you came to only after you had it all figured out.
Several wonderful things have come from our calls. Because many of us are new to the kind of blindness we are experiencing, we have seen an openness to asking questions without the fear our questions will be regarded as foolish or silly. Our assumption that we were in an organization whose members already had it figured out was wrong. Some of the veteran Federationists who come to our meetings have indeed experienced what we have and are able to give us constructive answers, but a surprising number come with their own questions, and this kind of openness and honesty helps to build unity where once we felt an almost unbridgeable distance.
We have shared techniques that are making a real difference to participants in our calls. How do you keep track of your children at school events, and does it help that you are in the stands when they know you can't see? At a group event in which your children are involved, how do you supervise them? In independent travel how do you learn to get around new places without calling on a mobility instructor for orientation? Am I a poor excuse for a Federationist if I grieve over the loss of things for which there are no alternative techniques-seeing the faces of my loved ones, not seeing the pictures of my children and grandchildren, feeling sadness at not knowing how to pursue my favorite hobby-photography?
Then there are the unexpected things we share among the group: "I was reconciled to the fact that I was going blind because of glaucoma, but when I found it would be my cornea that took my sight, I was unexpectedly sad. I don't know why, but I felt gypped because my cause of blindness had changed."
Another Federationist said, "I have always been an active member of my church. Recently, while attending a shower for a member, I went to bite into a cupcake topped with a wonderful fluffy icing. I got the icing on my face. I went to pick up my napkin, and before I could wipe the icing away, someone pushed my head back and proceeded to wipe my face. I didn't know what to say or do, but I knew I felt humiliated. I don't want to stop participating, but what do I do with the feelings, and how do I address the situation?"
As we listen to the questions of others, we are reminded of how important it is to remember what it was like when we were the ones with the questions. It is too easy to forget the skepticism we felt when approached with the message of the NFB once it has become a vital part of our lives. But getting back to that place is a necessity in talking to others and in turn helps us be grateful for the changes the Federation has made in our lives.
The techniques and attitudes we have been able to share are nothing short of a blessing. Getting the tools and having the courage to use them is a tremendous gift to give one another. But the most beautiful thing that has come from our calls is the understanding that the NFB cares about all blind people. How liberating it is to learn that it is just as safe to talk about our struggles as it is our successes and that we are not lesser Federationists because sometimes we hurt about things we have lost. What a relief to know that on some days all of us have to work hard to see the beauty in what lies ahead rather than dwelling on what was in the past and will never be again. The love that characterizes our movement is so abundant and is here for the taking by those of us still struggling with the loss of sight. This affirmation has meant the world to those of us who want to acknowledge what we feel and what we fear. At the same time we have come to know that many members in the organization we love have felt the same way and yet have come to put blindness in a place that does not define them or their future. In our fellow Federationists' listening ears we find hope, and in their examples we are strengthened in our determination. There is a place for us in the NFB, and knowing that place allows us to be ambassadors to others who have hurt as we have hurt and doubted as we have doubted. We will not hide from blindness or its challenges, and we will not hide our emotional struggles from those who are the most invested in helping us.

Yes, it's unfortunately  something that happens from time to time. However,
I don't think it's any one particular airline that is responsible, but the
airport staff.

Hi,

 

Travelling from Orlando to atlanta, did anyone else endure rude staff while
switching planes in atlanta?

I walked off of the plane in atlanta and a woman with a wheelchair was
waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me closer to the wheelchair and attempted to
push me down in the wheelchair.

I gave a laser stare and said you need to learn not to push people down in a
wheelchair!

Way to go nfb, I thought the blind had it better than this now days.

Bryan Schulz

Indeed those attendants at most airports are employed by the airport not
the airline for the most part. My cousin worked as a wheelchair
attendant for 25 years in Minneapolis and was paid by the airport
authority.

Yes, it's unfortunately  something that happens from time to time.
However, I don't think it's any one particular airline that is
responsible, but the airport staff.

Absolutely. It's unfortunate that some people think they have the right to
put their hands on a blind person when they would not do so to a sighted
one.

Hi,

I did enjoy using/testing the aira program over the last week and don't know
if it will continue in my budget for now.
I'd like to hear thoughts of how to dismiss the help of a person who refuses
to leave your side.
I was doing great navigating the airports with skill plus aira in one ear
and a man in the other ear only increased stress.

However, I don't think it's any one particular airline that is responsible,
but the airport staff.

Hi,

 

Travelling from Orlando to atlanta, did anyone else endure rude staff while
switching planes in atlanta?

I walked off of the plane in atlanta and a woman with a wheelchair was
waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me closer to the wheelchair and attempted to
push me down in the wheelchair.

I gave a laser stare and said you need to learn not to push people down in a
wheelchair!

Way to go nfb, I thought the blind had it better than this now days.

Bryan Schulz

O this problem is so the story of my life!

I usually try to be nice at first and reassure the unnecessarily
helpful person that I am fine and know my way.  SometimesI really do
want to get food and walk around a bit before my flight, and I have
told them that I want to be on my own for all that.  If they are very
insistant, I have never been good at this, but I have told them that
there must be a mistake because I didn't request the help.  So, yeah,
maybe I'm not forceful enough, but I'm working on it.  I will not move
if someone is pushing or pulling me.  I will tell the person either
that I am fine, and then I will walk quickly away.  Or if I did ask
for directions, I tell the helper that I will follow them and refuse
to budge until they understand.

Going to airports used to give me lots of anxiety.  It is scary when a
stranger touches me, particularly when it's a large man I don't know.
In Colorado I used to tell the airport staff that I was required to do
it on my own.  I whipped out my sleep shades and told them proudly
with a smile that I couldn't and wouldn't accept help.  :)  Best,
trick, ever!  Of course, my instructors were totally on board with it.
When I first joined the NFB, I wondered why our affiliate didn't do
more to educate airport staff.  It's understandable that there is high
turn-over.  I also understand that they hire the least qualified
people for these assist roles, the ones who don't speak any English,
for example.  But gosh, I wish there was something we could do.  I
have been looking for solutions to this problem for seven years now
since I joined.  So, any ideas for educating/stopping this, even on a
small scale?  I am listening with open ears.

Julie

Subject: [NFBMO] Blind Pension Letters
Message-ID: <00a501d41ec9$e90ba020$bb22e060$@Charter.net>

Greetings,

Letters have been sent out regarding  the payment of Blind Pension/SAB
underpayments. Note: this only affects those who got the pension from
2001 through 2010.

If you currently receive the benefits and the notice is sent to the
correct address you need do nothing as the underpay will automatically
be sent to you this Winter.

I repeat there is nothing to do if you currently receive the Blind
Pension/SAB.

 

Almost no one should decline the payment! The only folks that the
payment will affect are those receiving Food Stamps or Medicaid. In the
case of Medicaid it will only affect you if you are not on Blind
Pension. If you Receive Medicaid through SAB or just regular Medicaid it
can affect you and if another household member receives Medicaid (MO
HealthNet) it will likely affect them. In any event I still would not
decline the payment instead I would put the money to use right away so
that, at worse, it only affects one month's benefits. If you have no
bills to pay  or other immediate uses for it put it in a ABLE account or
Special Needs Trust.

Of course, if the payment would put you over the $30,000 limit for total
property I would find some useful way to spend the money  well below the
limit. Warning: do not give the money as a large gift to a family member
or friend as that would be a transfer of property and would result in
being forever disqualified from Blind Pension.

If, for whatever reason, you no longer receive  benefits you should also
get a letter which you do need to reply to in order receive the money.

 

The amount of payment will vary widely. Those who did not come on to
Blind Pension until  after 2006 will get a  very small settlement in
relationship to others as in 2006 FSD took some steps to correct the
underpayment.

You do not need to report the payment to Social Security if you get Old
Age Social Security  Benefits or Social Security Disability. You do need
to report the payment if you are receiving SSI when you get the payment.
It is best if when you report the payment to SSA for your SSI benefits
you also send receipts and bank statements showing that you spent the
money.

limit. Warning: do not give the money as a large gift to a family member or
friend as that would be a transfer of property and would result in being
forever disqualified from Blind Pension.

If, for whatever reason, you no longer receive  benefits you should also get
a letter which you do need to reply to in order receive the money.

 

The amount of payment will vary widely. Those who did not come on to Blind
Pension until  after 2006 will get a  very small settlement in relationship
to others as in 2006 FSD took some steps to correct the underpayment.

You do not need to report the payment to Social Security if you get Old Age
Social Security  Benefits or Social Security Disability. You do need to
report the payment if you are receiving SSI when you get the payment.
It is best if when you report the payment to SSA for your SSI benefits you
also send receipts and bank statements showing that you spent the money.

Hi:

HB 2171 was passed this past session and signed into law by Governor
Parsons.  It raised the asset limit from 20k to 30k.

Greetings,

Letters have been sent out regarding  the payment of Blind Pension/SAB
underpayments. Note: this only affects those who got the pension from
2001 through 2010.

If you currently receive the benefits and the notice is sent to the correct
address you need do nothing as the underpay will automatically be sent to
you this Winter.

I repeat there is nothing to do if you currently receive the Blind
Pension/SAB.

 

Almost no one should decline the payment! The only folks that the payment
will affect are those receiving Food Stamps or Medicaid. In the case of
Medicaid it will only affect you if you are not on Blind Pension. If you
Receive Medicaid through SAB or just regular Medicaid it can affect you and
if another household member receives Medicaid (MO
HealthNet) it will likely affect them. In any event I still would not
decline the payment instead I would put the money to use right away so that,
at worse, it only affects one month's benefits. If you have no bills to pay
or other immediate uses for it put it in a ABLE account or Special Needs
Trust.

Of course, if the payment would put you over the $30,000 limit for total
property I would find some useful way to spend the money  well below the
limit. Warning: do not give the money as a large gift to a family member or
friend as that would be a transfer of property and would result in being

One note about the asset limit --- I do not believe it increases until
August 28 when most new state laws take affect. So, until then keep
those assets under $20,000.

Many of us know that equipment for blind people is costly. This might be
your opportunity to get something that you need but could not otherwise
afford. Credit card debt can eat people alive. What a wonderful chance to
pay it off. Imagine how many years can be taken off a house payment with a
$3000 payment. There are lots of good ways to use this money without
squandering it. Most of us pay a lot more for things than we should because
we simply don't have enough money at the time to do what needs doing. We
live in houses where we tolerate substandard plumbing. We know the air
conditioner needs replacing, but we wait for the inevitable failure. We know
the hot water tank is old and inefficient, but we keep paying more in
utility bills each month because we lack the money to replace it. For some
of us this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I write all of this because I know a number of people who refinance their
houses for lower interest rates, took the additional money they got as a
windfall, and then lost their houses when the rates went up. Maybe some of
us can do better with this unexpected income and use it for something that
will advantage us long-term. I will now go back to minding my own business.

It is a funny thing that assistance seems to come when I get an Aira agent
on the phone and already have the assistance I need. If the person offering
me the assistance seems to know more than the Aira agent about the place I'm
looking for, I thank the Aira agent, terminate the call, and accept the
assistance. If my judgment is that I would prefer to stay with Aira, I
explained to the person that I am getting assistance from an automated app.
I don't know if they know what an automated app is, and I know that this is
not an accurate description of Aira, but it often causes them to gasp in
amazement, offer a hallelujah to technology, and go about their business.

Perhaps what we can do as an affiliate would be a good topic to discuss on
the list. For every person who complains about getting too much help in an
airport, there is at least one who says that he or she does not get enough
and is paralyzed by the thought of going. This suggests that whatever we do
must include the needs of those who have lesser skills or confidence then do
we. People who don't speak English and who rely on hand gestures and facial
expressions to communicate are more of a problem now than they used to be. I
don't have any off the top of my head answers for how we deal with this
except to suggest to airports that proficiency in English is probably a good
thing for the people they hire. Maybe the thing we will find most productive
from a discussion is not how to change the behavior of airport personnel but
how to react in such a way that we can handle their behavior.

Warmly,

Gary

Hi,

I did enjoy using/testing the aira program over the last week and don't know
if it will continue in my budget for now.
I'd like to hear thoughts of how to dismiss the help of a person who refuses
to leave your side.
I was doing great navigating the airports with skill plus aira in one ear
and a man in the other ear only increased stress.

Lately when I travel, I have a backpack, a CPAP machine, and a laptop. If I
ask for an assistant and get somebody with a wheelchair who seems insistent
on keeping it, I say that I would prefer to walk and at the same time that
I'm saying this I place the CPAP and the laptop in the wheelchair. If they
seem willing to ditch the chair, I asked them to carry one of the devices.
After all, that's one of the reasons I'm tipping them.

Indeed those attendants at most airports are employed by the airport not the
airline for the most part. My cousin worked as a wheelchair attendant for 25
years in Minneapolis and was paid by the airport authority.

Yes, it's unfortunately  something that happens from time to time.
However, I don't think it's any one particular airline that is responsible,
but the airport staff.

Hi,

 

Travelling from Orlando to atlanta, did anyone else endure rude staff while
switching planes in atlanta?

I walked off of the plane in atlanta and a woman with a wheelchair was
waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me closer to the wheelchair and attempted to
push me down in the wheelchair.

I gave a laser stare and said you need to learn not to push people down in a
wheelchair!

Way to go nfb, I thought the blind had it better than this now days.

Hi, Brian. The payment is based on the amount of time you received the blind pension between the years of 2001 to 2010, with the under payment being less after 2006, when some attempts were made to correct some of the mishandling of the fund.

My understanding is the target date is February but the payments must be
made by May. From the letter it appears we will wait at least 90 days
(mid-October) as that is time provided to request a administrative
review or hearing and also allows time to decline the payment.

Subject: [NFBMO] Blind Pension Letters

Greetings,

Letters have been sent out regarding  the payment of Blind Pension/SAB
underpayments. Note: this only affects those who got the pension from
2001 through 2010.

If you currently receive the benefits and the notice is sent to the
correct address you need do nothing as the underpay will automatically
be sent to you this Winter.

I repeat there is nothing to do if you currently receive the Blind
Pension/SAB.

 

Almost no one should decline the payment! The only folks that the
payment will affect are those receiving Food Stamps or Medicaid. In the
case of Medicaid it will only affect you if you are not on Blind
Pension. If you Receive Medicaid through SAB or just regular Medicaid it
can affect you and if another household member receives Medicaid (MO
HealthNet) it will likely affect them. In any event I still would not
decline the payment instead I would put the money to use right away so
that, at worse, it only affects one month's benefits. If you have no
bills to pay  or other immediate uses for it put it in a ABLE account or
Special Needs Trust.

Of course, if the payment would put you over the $30,000 limit for total
property I would find some useful way to spend the money  well below the
limit. Warning: do not give the money as a large gift to a family member
or friend as that would be a transfer of property and would result in
being forever disqualified from Blind Pension.

If, for whatever reason, you no longer receive  benefits you should also
get a letter which you do need to reply to in order receive the money.

 

The amount of payment will vary widely. Those who did not come on to
Blind Pension until  after 2006 will get a  very small settlement in
relationship to others as in 2006 FSD took some steps to correct the
underpayment.

You do not need to report the payment to Social Security if you get Old
Age Social Security  Benefits or Social Security Disability. You do need
to report the payment if you are receiving SSI when you get the payment.
It is best if when you report the payment to SSA for your SSI benefits
you also send receipts and bank statements showing that you spent the
money.

Gene Coulter

Many of us know that equipment for blind people is costly. This might be
your opportunity to get something that you need but could not otherwise
afford. Credit card debt can eat people alive. What a wonderful chance to
pay it off. Imagine how many years can be taken off a house payment with a
$3000 payment. There are lots of good ways to use this money without
squandering it. Most of us pay a lot more for things than we should because
we simply don't have enough money at the time to do what needs doing. We
live in houses where we tolerate substandard plumbing. We know the air
conditioner needs replacing, but we wait for the inevitable failure. We know
the hot water tank is old and inefficient, but we keep paying more in
utility bills each month because we lack the money to replace it. For some
of us this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I write all of this because I know a number of people who refinance their
houses for lower interest rates, took the additional money they got as a
windfall, and then lost their houses when the rates went up. Maybe some of
us can do better with this unexpected income and use it for something that
will advantage us long-term. I will now go back to minding my own business.

Well in the letter it says you have 90 days to reply if you don't want the
check so there is no way they can issue the checks before that date is up.
I would not expect to see anything until mid October and probably much
later than that.

The amount you receive is based on how many years during that time period
you were receiving blind pension. They had a chart showing how much you
were underpaid for each year. It you notice after 2006 the underpayment
drops substantially so your payment will be much less if you started
receiving blind pension after 2006.

The letters just started arriving on July 18 so they can take a few days
to arrive. The important thing is that you make sure FSD has your
current address if you have not  received  the letter by the middle of
next week. To find this out you do not need to call the BP office you
can  call 1-	855-FSD-Info (855-363-4636), they CANNOT answer any
questions about your BP or the lawsuit settlement but can only verify
your address. If you do not receive the letter  or it is sent to the
wrong address contact the MCB attorneys. The BP office, likewise, cannot
answer queries about the settlement letters.
Once again, if you currently get BP/SAB you need do nothing you will
automatically get the payment either by check or direct deposit in the
same manner as you get your monthly benefits. If you do not receive the
benefits currently, I believe, there will be a form in the packet to
complete  to claim the money and how you wish to receive it.

Well in the letter it says you have 90 days to reply if you don't want
the check so there is no way they can issue the checks before that date
is up.
I would not expect to see anything until mid October and probably much
later than that.

What I find interesting is how much of the payment is underpayment and how
much is interest. Waiting and fighting appears to have cost the state
significantly if I read the letter correctly.

The amount you receive is based on how many years during that time period
you were receiving blind pension. They had a chart showing how much you
were underpaid for each year. It you notice after 2006 the underpayment
drops substantially so your payment will be much less if you started
receiving blind pension after 2006.

Go into the Bookshelf
Land on the book you want to delete.
You can flick up to delete and double tap or go into the edit button at the
top right and select delete.
Hope this is understandable and helpful.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Throughout the State

July 27, 2018

During the months of August and September, the Missouri Council of the Blind and 
the St. Louis University School of Law will sponsor a series of workshops for 
recipients of Blind Pension and Supplemental Aid to the Blind who may be owed 
reimbursement by the State. Close relatives may also wish to attend. Attorneys 
and representatives from the Missouri Council of the Blind will all be present 
at these workshops to provide information and assist individuals in filling out 
any necessary paperwork for a claim.

"the claims process has proven very complex in certain situations and difficult 
for many to understand," says Christopher Gray, Executive Director, Missouri 
Council of the Blind. "in these workshops, we will provide all the necessary 
details and assist blind individuals with all the required paperwork."

These seminars are provided at no charge.

We strongly encourage any blind person or next of kin of a deceased blind person
