Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I was a parent that stayed home and raised kids. I went back to school in 1996 and was diagnosed with RA in 1997. I finished and got my Bachelors but haven't really been able to use it, because of the RA. I went to the SS office a couple years ago when my doctor told me that I was disabled and the SS people told me that I didn't qualify because I hadn't worked enough. I was missing 4 credits. They also told me that time off between jobs or paychecks also made me ineligable. Is all this true? I was a stay at home and I didn't work much, except when the kids were in school. I was making $22/hr when I lost my job. I couldn't trust myself to move monitors ( without dropping them) or crawling on the floor checking wire connections. Will I ever qualify for SS? I didn't file for it when I went to their offices because they told me I hadn't worked enough. Well...I have worked even less now :-( Quote
