After 4 years, I finally got approved for SSDI. $1,100/month and an additional $81/month for my 13 y/o child. - eviltoast

How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn’t even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we’re going to do.

    It’s not right that you are getting so little :( (I don’t get much either, but I also don’t have any dependants.)

    You might want to check for any charities in your area that help house people in your situation. Get EBT and any other such assistance if you can. Maybe go to churches and ask if they know of anyone needing renters. Check to see if you qualify for HUD. If you can, try to get a mainstream voucher. Some HUD programs need for you to be currently homeless (not camping in a friend or relative’s yard).

    Good luck, I hope you find a solution.
