Custody hearing tomorrow.....

[jzurinsky]

I am in the process of appealing SSD. I am awaiting hearing on that. Yes if I do make more money then I will lose anything I get from the state or federal. Unfortunately because mom has primary custody I most likely will not get any help for him with the SSD even though I will be fully supporting him while in my care. So yes this does stink all around.

Would the case manager be the person that evaluated our case like the Friend of the Court? Not sure who the case manager would be. How would I find that out?

And I am keeping a very close eye on the medical issues. I am very concerned with his development because of the lack of nutrition.

Once you qualify and get SSD, you should be assigned a case manager- social worker- who will visit with you and determine what programs that you would qualify for.  That also may depend on which state you live in- I live in Oregon - and I work as a contract RN for adults on Medicaid and each client has a case manager who oversees all the benefits that the clients get.

I do have a case working and I did meet with him on Friday after court. The thing with Michigan is that I will  probably not get any benefits for my son because she has primary care. So needless to say I am stuck! Yes I may get help with food for myself but that is it. It is very hard here to get any assistance.

I do appreciate the help you have given but until I hear from SSD (we are in appeal) then I am stuck with owing the $300.
