Thanks. I know times/things were alot easier back then! LOL
I am looking for work right now.... not easy, though and not knowing my last day is not helping!
This isn't 70's which is A-LOT easier back then.
File Unemployment Insurance, then file SSA (Can be done in same day if you wish). Because with SS there is 6 months waiting period. The longer you wait before filing SS, the longer you will get first SS check. Then look for another job. Looking for another job is much better than wait for UI and SS.
Nothing is easy, sorry buddy.
it to get SSDI for a while until you get another job?
Thanks
You must have enough credits to be eligible for SSDI. When you apply for SSDI, they need a medical document to show that you have a disability that prevents you from being able to work. They are not interested in how much you have in savings and how much you earned before a job loss. Read about rights at SSA.gov.For me, it took 3 months for SSDI to got approved but for many people, when claim got denied so they went through appeal and court so 6 months may accurate for people who got claim denied.
It is depending on income, if OP make much more money so he won't get SSDI until after one year.
I recommended to apply for SSDI and find a job at same time, if you can't find a job within 6 months so you may get SSDI until you can find a job.
If you received SSDI before so you need discuss with SS representative to resume the SSDI.
Getting a hearing job is difficult (see the link below for in-depth explanation). If you're not in debt - GREAT! If you are, save your money for a bankruptcy lawyer. You will need it to get a fresh start. A lot of Deaf people balked at me for not getting a job (I worked at a hearing industry for my internship; and deaf industry as my perm. job). I asked them if they ever worked at a hearing industry: almost all of my friend fell silent. I told them: SHUT THE **** UP.
Unemployment Problems for Deaf: Reasons Employers Won't Hire Deaf People
^ - buy the book, it only cost $3.00. There's more than it meets to its eye. The link above should summarize it sufficiently. Don't let Deaf people jest you, or tell you otherwise. Just ask them if they ever work in a hearing field: it's a game changer. And that will shut them up for good. I have and provided evidence to back it up (White House awards and etc). Why Deaf people don't want to work in a hearing world is beyond me. I regret working in a Deaf environment due to crab theory - it runs amok when left unchecked. Seriously.. sigh.
Good night!
I do not agree with your blog nor do I agree with your perspective. Just because you claim that the refusal to hire D/deaf and hard-of-hearing employees are rooted in the fact that there are interpreter expenses, difficulty with communication, and the "telephone culture" doesn't mean it is necessarily true for all employers. Nor does it mean that you are a qualified source of factual information. I noticed that your blog doesn't even cite empirical studies, hard statistics or actual research. Your fundamental arguments are based on personal opinions and anecdotal data and therefore remain invalid.
Bottom line, many people go through discrimination for being too old, having a family, being "over educated" or not being the right skin color. Does discrimination happen with disabled applicants? All the time - just as it does for a number of people, for whatever reason, every day in both the public and private sector.
