    Oh Pattee
    Wow, unreal. I know that is how you feel. I am so sorry that you are in this scary situation. I am so bothered that this is happening in MN. We lived there for a few years and it seemed to be a place that did things right. This is soooo wrong! Is there any public health care in MN? I will pray for you, I don't know what else to do. Big hug to you.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    I'm at a loss of words here - looks like you've got all of the info and realize that you guys have been railroaded.

    I hate for something like this to happen to a nice person like you.

    Any chance they won't pick you? This world can be a very cruel place more than we all probably realize. I just hate to hear this and be helpless to offer any advice.

    This is happening everywhere........
    Our shcools here are looking at getting rid of teachers with tenure or making it so hard on them they leave...They don't want any of the "old school" types so that they can tell the younger teachers exactly what to do, pay them a lot less, and know they will never say anything about it. Home schooling is beginning to be a norm around here...Prayers in the wind Pattee and I will keep the ears and thinking cap on for ya..........Love and Hope, Buzz

    Good thing we got Obama and free health Care.. YA RIGHT!!!
    That's all I got to say!!

    Or
    Maybe it should read "too bad we have so many roadblocks from special interests and therefore we DON'T have free health care". I think it's makes little sense to get mad at someone who is NOT able to pass a law that WOULD provide health care for all.

    This is the only country where someone can lose their house because of stuff like this.
    What a mess...
    That's all I have to say!

    I have no disability due to an HR oversight. (union says out of their area, attorney says nothing I can do about it.)

    ?
    "I have no disability due to an HR oversight."
    This certainly doesn't not sound right (or legal)
    I would be all over this one if I were you.

    Sorry to hear of your woes

    I agree with Phil....
    Call Social Security office's 800 number...1-800-772-1213....it's the automated number, but it's a start...or www.socialsecurity.gov....maybe they just don't WANT to pay...they have a portion...I think it's required by law...

    Also, there is a pdf available online from SSI...http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.pdf

    Hugs, Kathi

    no, sorry. I do not have
    no, sorry. I do not have disability insurance through the school district due to an HR oversight. Haven't checked SSI and probably won't at this point. I have already been through the legal process with holding the district accountable on my lack of disability insurance- basically we changed formats over 4 years ago. I was told I "forgot" to change over- why didn't I notice it on my paycheck? (no idea why) and the district washing their hands of it because I should have changed it. I have no memory of this at all. Only found out I didn't have it over a year ago when I tried to go on it. I have since tried to apply for it and have been turned down due to having cancer.

    I have already been through the union on this- they said it was my responsibility to know what my benefits were and have talked to an attorney who referred me back to the union. So around and around and around it goes.

    In my next job- cause lets face it, I am done here and will move on. In my next job- I will have the option of applying for disability and I believe when you are first hired you do not have to come forth with a medical history- could be wrong on that, hope I am correct :)

    thanks everyone
    here are the
    thanks everyone

    here are the realities

    I know I am going to get axed- I can feel the cold steel on the back of my neck already
    I then will lose health insurance- I will not be able to afford the cobra, which is like 600 a month.
    It will be only a matter of time before I lose my house- cause lets face it, I am living pay check to pay check as it is, there is no way even with unemployment benefits that I can afford payments.
    This is the reality of a single parent who has had the full fianical burden of getting 3 kids raised.
    No, I definitely do not live in a mansion. I haven't had a vacation in years. I drive a 5 year old Saturn that I just broke down and put new tires on. I am paying on medical bills. I have cut the fat all the way off of everything, down now to pure basics.

    I have no resources. None, zip. Nada.

    This is my reality.

    I have asked for strength and guidance- I know I am not alone with this. But it is happening and it will happen. There is no doubt. None.
