If you are on SS disability you will sm
get $250 payment, its either May or June. I cannot remember. I just read it. To my knowledge there no money for ICs, that would be an awful big group of people. There is also a $250 payment for folks drawing VA disabity benefits also that comes either in May or June. If you have direct deposit it will just show up in your account. If not it will be mailed to you. however you get your check is how you will get the stimulus payment.
Is alcoholism a disability
I know someone who is filing for state and social security disability because he's an alcoholic. Can he do that?
My mother was on disability
and she really needed to be. She recieved $516.00 a month from disability and $16.00 of food stamps a month. Don't see how she was abusing the system.
I used to work in a grocery store and saw lots of abuse but also saw people that desperatly needed the help.
This was 20 years ago. If you pay with food stamps you got food stamps back except for coins. A couple of people would come in and buy a 5cent piece of candy so they would actucally get change back. They would do this several times until they had enough to buy cigarettes. Now (at least here) food stamps are on a card so you just use the card until it runs out and then is refilled the first of each month so no change.
Sick of disability/insurance fraud?
I am. I'm tired of playing by the rules and paying through the nose. I'll happily wear a red shirt with whistleblower painted all over it. I am minding my business, my tax money and my future.
I think names of individuals receiving federal/state/VA disability funds should be made public. I'm sure psych advocates will have a cow, but actually psych is one of the most abused disability diagnoses. I'd be willing to say forego psych patients and just list those with physical disability receiving money. Oh yes, I know it's subjective. Just like I know the guy receiving all kinds of money while taking morphine for "back pain" and riding his motorcyle. 
Common sense would not hurt - how about anyone receiving disability income specifically for a back injury should not be issued a motorcycle license/insurance. I'd appreciate hearing any measures you think would work.
Please save the indignation over loss of privacy - I'm talking about federal and state money that comes out of the taxpayer's pockets. I'll bet everyone on this forum can name someone they know is getting money they don't deserve. If you don't agree, you must not be in that age group that will retire with zero SS funds left or perhaps won't be one of the population who needs and deserves disability income and will never see it. I hope it does not happen to you.
She received a 160K disability payment sm
Something about a back injury that didn't allow her to work (but did allow her to carry 8 babies? Strong back....?) and she also gets some money for a couple of the first 6 kids who are disabled in one way or another (not sure of the details).
I agree my hubby's friend is getting disability for his back
lifts equipment, helps transport it, etc. He also doesn't pay child support. what a waste of space.

I should add...happy when I am learning something new though (sm)
I have noticed over the years that I seem to be happy with my job for about 3 months, and then as soon as I start to feel comfortable and not learning a lot of new stuff, I get restless and bored. I think I would enjoy a job being, say a walking mail carrier or something like that LOL!
Do you REALLY think they aren't learning the
SF has one of the best school systems in the country.
As for 'separation of church and state', what makes you think this will be a religious ceremony? It may be nondominational.
I just can't believe the things I'm reading here this morning. It's really sad.
child's learning
Thanks to all of you for your helpful and inspiring replies. We had a long family talk last night while our little sweetie was out with other relatives, and her mom has finally agreed to have her see a team of specialists in a larger city next month, thank goodness!
Great learning site sm
I just wanted to share this site my daughter found the other day that helps kids with geography (US and world). They also have medical terminology on there and a bunch of other subjects. It's quite relaxing and more educational than playing games online.

Has anyone used Sylvan Learning Center for tutoring? sm
If so, did you find that it helped your child and did they meet your expectations?
Children are not learning to deal with stuff.
This is what I feel. Not that we should not be compassionate when little Johnny does make the team or little Sally does get a date to prom, but they have to learn that there are bigger things in life. They should learn at a young age how to give to others. Giving and doing for others less fortunate will always makes you feel better about your situation IMO. Sure, there will be those with mental defects or what have you, but these kids may not have done some of these terrible things if they had been shown some love and compassion as children, and learned to care for others other than themselves. We should stop letting the media and entertainment world raise our children.
I got a good learning to cook story.......sm
When my DD was I think 11, she and my niece (12) were babysitting for me for a few hours. I was on my way home and told her to get the frozen lasagna out of the freezer and put it in the oven. I said it is very simple, directions are on the box. I get home and open the oven to check on the lasagna and there is the lasagna cooking in the BOX AND ALL!! Directions said to "poke holes in the top" which she did in the top of the box that is and never removed it from the BOX! So here was my lasagna baking in the oven still in the cardboard box container covered in holes! I literally wet my pants laughing so hard. She has NEVER lived that one down as we love to tell that story. She said well it never said to take it out of the box, lol.
Does anyone with a learning disabled child home school them? sm
If so, how did you go about figuring out how to teach them?
Our daughter was in public school but we moved her to a private school at the first of the year because she was very behind in the public school and they refused to give her extra services. Since moving her to the private school we have found out that she does have learning disabilities, which means that she would need to return to the public school since the private school doesn't have special education services available. She has learned a lot while in the private school because of the small class size and a teacher that spends a lot of time with her and we know that she has learned much more than she would have if she had stayed in the public school.
Now the public school is wanting her to repeat the grade when she returns there in the fall. Yes, the very same public school that refused to help us before and actually blew off my questioning if she had learning disabilities now only has a "repeat the grade" attitude. The problem I have with that is that she has proven on testing done at Sylvan learning center that she is academically half way into her current grade, so if she repeats the grade she will be bored for half of the year because she knows that material.
Therefore we're considering home schooling but don't know how effective this might be with her learning disabilities. Does anyone else do this? How did you find out about the techniques you needed to teach your child so that they could learn? We know that she has an average IQ so that's not a problem - it's just getting her brain to process the information correctly.
Thank you.
Hilarious/scary Chinese-->English Learning Aid...sm
Since language is "our thing" - and particularly ESL - I thought you'd like to get a head start on what to expect from future Chinese dictators. Get a load of these Chinese-to-English learning blocks (I'll post this as an URL you can paste into your browser since some are reluctant to click on links):

I suggest we practice by forming sentences, such as: "The patient is a construction worker who was operating a navvy when a crustacea flew into the cab. Mistaking it for a darning needle, he swatted at the crustacea and lost control of the navvy, which crashed. Unfortunately, he was not wearing a safety armet at the time and was knocked unconscious..."
