Working At Camp Again

Justin began working at the camp. The pay is low...nothing...but the rewards are high. He is doing some consulting, but there is a bigger job to do now. He is walking through the buildings, making up work orders for everything that needs done. He will turn those in, then the staff will decide which things are in the budget and which ones are not. Justin will help the team in any way he can.

We visited the Social Security office. Long story short, we will not hear anything for at least three months. If Justin does not qualify for disability, they want us to appeal. We can do 2 appeals, the last one is with a judge. That takes a while...the state is so far behind that Utah is taking some of our cases. They are backed up a year or more. So it looks as if we either get a little help before fall, or we fight to maybe get nothing in two years. Let's just say we are not holding our breath. Although we are not interested in food stamps or other help, if he gets on disability, he will automatically be on Medicaid and will be able to seek medical help almost anywhere. No more Broadlawns. We will continue at Iowa City because he is getting great care there. Medicaid is better insurance than he has now.
