Since you are on SSD, and need an at home job, you may benefit from free internet from the government. They have a few programs for the low-income, disabled and others if they need it for work or school (student). Look here for options on free government internet programs. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ccess.html

I don’t have enough to pay my Verizon bill either, and while I’ve been looking for freelance work that I can do from home, I am unsure now whether my internet will stay on. I have a disability and because of several limitations am unable to do my chosen work outside of the home or work early in the day.

My defaulted student loans were offset recently by the Dept. of Ed. I called to make arrangements for loan rehabilitation, unaware that the offsets would continue. My monthly SSD check is $974, reduced now to $827.90. My rent increased this month to $800/month, which is impossible for me to pay by myself. My income is too high to qualify for rental assistance from the local welfare office.

I called the Dept. of Ed. and they said that I had to fill out the hardship forbearance form in addition to the loan rehabilitation, sending them the necessary paperwork. As I’d already sent that in with my loan rehab forms, I recycled the paperwork. I am waiting for a new form to be sent, so the estimated time for this to stop is perhaps June or July.

I recently had a birthday and a friend gave me some belated birthday money, which is the only reason that I was able to pay my rent this month at all.
I don’t know where to look, or what to do for the next 2 mos. as this offset continues.

Please help me find something to ensure that I’m not evicted. I have a cat and I really don’t want to lose her. I can’t handle being homeless again.
