YAAA got social security figured out..

Well someone from social security called me..they are still working on the application..THANK GOODNESS!! i was suppose to bring in all this stuff...but now they just need my drivers license, jons original birth certificate and his last SDI stub- SO NICE!!!
i guess we got denied from SSI because our SDI checks are more then 2k per month..jon made a good living which put a lot of money into his SDI account..so now that were utilizing that SDI account..he makes more then 2k per month..thus denied from SSI..
BUT social security is different..we still can get cash benefits now matter if he had a million in his account or how much he makes per month..so thats a bonus!! im SOOOOO grateful this is working out now!! i TRULY feel Heavenly Father helping me with this -- i have been SO STRESSED about getting it done!! Hopefully with that cash we'll be able to pay for a caregiver in the home vs using our fund money for it..the SDI is helping to pay for our living expenses..it doesnt cover everything..so were so very grateful for our parents that are helping us and for the fund monies that are there to help us get back on track..once jons business gets going - we will be able to live off that - which is NOW MORE THEN ever jons determination and goal and desire!!!
im on hold now for IHSS -which i believe they pay a family member to do all the caregiving and so we'd just pay the caregiver with that money- i have NO idea how much it will pay - but hey every little tiny bit helps at this point...
i feel like a HUGE rock has been lifted..i feel a little closer to calmness now!!
