Bad news ... back to base one Re: Bill

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Today's social worker gave me false hope. There are no burial benefits

because Bill died finalizing the Medicaid. Now they said his death is

after

the fact??. SSD will take months and months and only be for one month unless

retroactive.

IMHO I want to use my RENT money to do the funereal. The SW was TOTALLY

against this. Why? I am alive and can scrape up something. I would rather a tiny

funeral than pay rent. You would think the landlord could have some sympathy.

But perhaps SS will not help with the rent unless I pay my last penny -- for

this month that is.

They are worried about me. Maybe I should cremate, get the urn and forget.

That is one of the options. Sorry for vent I no longer have someone to talk to.
