What is wrong with people!
Check it out….
All things must come to an end…
I started this blog as a way to vent, share and write. I have enjoyed most of it, but think it’s time to move on. I will be starting a new blog about every day life and challenges of working full time, attending school full time, putting a daughter through college, trying to budget it all, all on my own. I am a very strong and independent woman, because that’s how my mother raised me to be, plus I had very strong female role models growing up. Thanks to all the readers and I look forward to the next chapter of my writing.
Ask me…
I always say I am an open book…so with that said I invite my readers to ask me anything and I will answer as honestly, as I can.
Disability what a joke!
I worked for government, so I understand there is only so much you can do, forms have to be filled out and processed. I filled for disability before I left the hospital, almost four weeks ago. I did it online, as that is the quicker way, haha what a joke. My doctor and employer filled out their part online, within days of me being released. I check my status Friday and it tells me I need to call. I tried Friday afternoon, you don’t get a chance to decide if you want to hold, the message says “all agents are busy right now and due to the high call volume please try back at a later time” and it disconnects you. I tried all day yesterday and finally today I got through and was told I had a 7-10 minute hold at 12:47pm. At 1:09pm an agent greeted me. I don’t care if I had to wait all day to talk to someone. She asks for all my information, I explain it advised when I checked my claim status, I needed to call. She then advises me that instead of the normal two weeks (BULLSHIT) it is going to take four to six weeks to get a check. Are you F ing kidding me!!! I wasted all that time when they could have posted a message about the supposed delay in claims. No wonder agents are overwhelmed! They are wasting the agents time on calls, when they could have posted a message on the site. And the poor people on disability that are waiting on a check, like myself, with no income, what the hell are they suppose to do. Her attitude was basically, oh well not my problem. I am lucky to have understanding utility companies. I am scheduled to go back to work Monday and probably will receive a paycheck before a disability check. Yes I will be writing to our governor, something has to change! I think about the person who doesn’t have any savings, any family and is waiting on a disability check and probably starving. I am blessed!
