Financial aid after rehab?
Thank you for taking the time and helping me with this issue. I was at the Betty Ford Center for 2 months in Rancho Mirage, California and now I a m currently back home in Los Angeles doing a Intensive Outpatient Program for 6 months. I'm having huge financial issues due to lawyers, paying for treatment programs, court fees etc. I haven't had a job in 4-5 years and can't find a job that will be sufficient enough to support me currently due to my IOP schedule. I remember my counselor at the Betty Ford mentioning that I can apply for financial aid from the good ole government. Would this be unemployment benefits or social security benefits\disability? If anyone could help me out with some information, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
67 days sober
One day at a time
No job for over 4 years, thus no unemployment.
To collect from Social Security benefits, then you must be age 62 or older.
Disability is the same, have to be disabled and a judge has to rule that you CAN'T do any job, since disabled.
The only financial aid you (might) be able to apply for would be food stamps, Medicaid (health insurance), or section 8 (housing).
Congrats and good luck on your recovery. It would be pretty hard to try to claim unemployment insurance after 4-5 years. This counselor is probably talking about welfare, food aid, medicaid and if needed public housing. Hopefully you don't need the latter as the list for section 8 housing in L.A. County is about 11 years long.
- Why is my '98 Ford windstar is running rough after a tune up? I changed out the plugs and wires and it ran good for a day or two but has a lot of hesitation at lower rpms but if I speed up it goes away. Also have a gas smell in my air conditioning when I'm stopped but not while driving. Can anyone help? I'm tired of putting money in this thing.
- 2002 ford Taurus cuts off a few secs after acceleration? OK my Taurus cranks and starts but she's shaking and sputtering like she's struggling to stay alive. When I press on the gas she dies. I have no problem cranking her back up. What's wrong with my baby?
- Should Ford be studied for her ability to not remember details about her trauma after 13,000 days. But after 6 days with her lawyer? Her memory during her drunken stupor becomes crystal clear? Could Ford's techniques be used with alzheimer's patients, the elderly, and other drunks who experienced "black outs?"
