I got hired at a government job to be a Janitor at a government office building. I am scheduled to work 4 hours a day 5 days a week. For the past month I've been working as a Security Guard and I'm reluctant to give up that job which I've grown to like. I am going to have to make a choice and a decision by the end of next week to figure out what I'm going to do. I can't earn above my SGA of $1250/month and still keep my SSDI, which I can't afford to lose because I'm diabetic and need insulin to survive. I need my Medicare/Medicaid to buy my insulin and pay for office visits/bloodwork. I also have mental illness and need to see a psychiatrist/obtain medication for that as well. I am backed into a corner to comply with living in poverty or lose it all. I am trained for Computer Applications and could work for a Mail Processing Center. I may be able to make enough to make it worth it to break it off with SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid. If I'm not mistaken I can still keep Medicare for 5 years after I lose my SSDI.
