My Missouri disability benefits are too low
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2014 5:20 pm
Sadly, I find myself in a desperate situation. My only income is the SSDI check I receive every month. Unfortunately, I was forced to move out of my dilapidated and dingy, but affordable apartment a few months ago because the new owner/landlord was renovating the property. The cost of moving to another apartment was expensive which depleted my meager savings account.
Not only has my rent increased substantially, but I have become behind in paying for my other monthly expenses. I have applied for assistance from state programs. Unfortunately, I am ineligible because my income from SSDI is $12 over the monthly limit to qualify for SNAP or DFA.
I need help paying my rent and utility bills. Since some of my expenses are automatically deducted from my checking account, it is now overdrawn by $500. My next SSDI will be deposited on July 25, but the overdraft deductions will take almost half of that check. Consequently, I won't ever be able to catch up with my monthly expenses own my own. Thank you for your time and consideration.
