SSA UPDATE:

ONE week later, no call.

We go back up to the SSA office today.  Well, since the "PEOPLE" decided to fire thousands of Non essential Government workers, our small town SSA office got cut from 12 workers to 3.  3 workers to work hundreds of cases by themselves.  She decided to tell me that, my file was never looked at, not yet.  SO. Sad to say this, but we pulled the Cancer card. We told her about the whole thing and she says "oh my, yes we need to get this at the top of the list". I feel bad because everyone there has a good reason to be there, I hated having to jump the line. But we can't afford to eat, and hubby's income also made it so we didn't qualify for food stamps either. Oh, wait, they sent up $18 for food for December. LMAO.. Yea, that helped a LOT.  NOT.   anyway. She got it going and said I would get a phone call on January 18th. Which I did receive the phone call, did the interview and was told. You should get a letter in a week or two.

we shall see.....
