Work Participation

Disability Caucus 2/27/2017: What Jobs? They're Lying.

Today I went on yet another car ride with the employment specialist across the county to follow up on jobs I know I'll never even be considered for.

Stop being negative, she says. Bah. I've spent 15 fuckin' years with Voc Rehab and despite spending years in college completing 2 degree programs, holding several intern and volunteer positions over 3 years during and after college, I still can't get a single god damned employer to take me seriously.

Disability Caucus 2/8/2017: Back to so-called 'Work Participation' again.....maybe.

Whelp..I should have seen this coming. Last February I had to participate in 'Work Participation' to keep SNAP Benefits. By August I had been exempt somehow, yet they seem to have completely forgotten that when I renewed in January when I received a mailer from my local 'Career Source' branch.
