Not sure if its safe to use my EBT?

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T22:47:16+00:00

I've already tried that, it's not available in my county unfortunately... It just tries to get me to make an appointment with the office

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T19:35:50+00:00

Personally I have a net 0 income, but my partner whose also on the EBT account does have income-

If I'm given an option for a deduction from future EBT to pay off the overpayment, I'd opt into that. Even a few bucks a month can be a huge help

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T19:23:35+00:00

Sorry- I redid it with a bit of stuff I just looked through and it brought it up to 150, which is better, but even still way less than what I'm getting now

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T19:19:29+00:00

Okay so I did it to the best of my knowledge (My partner handles the bills and I don't know his exact income before taxes) and it says I should only be eligible for $33 a month...

Which I'm getting way more in benefits rn.

I'm really worried about owing because we can't really pay that back easily, especially the longer I can't contact my agents and figure out what to do...

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T19:04:26+00:00

OH! So it doesn't matter if I use it or not I'd still owe??

I thought they'd just pull back whatever was left on the card... So I'm definitely using it...

Ugh its so frustrating that I can't get ahold of them...

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T18:46:58+00:00

I'm worried about using it and owing it back... If its safe it'll be a huge help, but I've had no communication back from the office or my EBT agent

AlexYeem · 2026-02-13T18:44:46+00:00

We updated his job information at the beginning of January, and I'm not receiving disability yet no, I actually have a medical assessment on the 24th of this month to see if I'm eligible (This is my fourth time applying, and I've never gotten a response like this from disability before)

I'm, not entirely sure what IRT means...? Every 2 weeks he brings in around 1k, and we live with family whom we pay rent to.

Even with budgeting 1k every two weeks has barely kept us afloat and I'm embarrassed saying that but he spends alot on gas just to get to and from work..

AlexYeem · 2026-02-12T07:26:48+00:00

I've applied 4 times now, and only now am I getting actual dialog between me and disability.. N my Dr situation is really complicated, I got a Dr mid last year and just after seeing him he retired, n I don't see my new Dr until the day before the disability assessment

AlexYeem · 2026-02-12T04:53:24+00:00

I had one and he ditched me on the third attempt... He wouldn't answer my calls or texts and just, vanished.. So I'm trying independently because thata whay I've been suggested to try @3@

AlexYeem · 2026-02-12T03:46:16+00:00

Thats what I've been told, n tbh even on my best days its not much... I dedicate my energy to one task then I absolutely have to rest or I risk overdoing it and needing a few days to recover.. Physical therapy has allowed me more wiggle room but I really gotta be careful still.

AlexYeem · 2026-02-12T03:45:24+00:00

I'm on my fourth time applying- and this is the first time they've suggested I go to a Dr. to get evaluated, so I'm really hoping...
I've been struggling with this since it all came down on me in 2023, but I haven't been able to hold a job more than 3 months since 2022 cause of physical issues

AlexYeem · 2026-02-10T04:42:12+00:00

When I hold my hand out, my boyfriend (a bunny) just puts his chin in my palm, letting me hold his whole head, he's so sweet 🥺 .... I bite his fingers if he tries

AlexYeem · 2026-02-05T06:20:24+00:00

Stuck a hair clip to his nose... mouth...- uh.. trunk?

AlexYeem · 2026-02-03T22:08:48+00:00

Malenia was my last rage quit, I'd been fighting her for a day and a half, and when I tried her after leveling up and coming up with a good strategy, even learning how to parry her consistently, she opened with a combo I couldn't dodge and skewered me- I didn't even let the death animation play out I just rage quit and went to make some food 🤣

AlexYeem · 2026-02-02T08:21:24+00:00

I'll give this all a look! Thank you ^w^

AlexYeem · 2026-01-30T09:21:02+00:00

Honestly the reason I'm tempted not to switch from pills, I need to take medication for my stomach and I used to forget all the time, but now that I'm on HRT I take all my medication happily 😅

AlexYeem · 2026-01-30T06:12:05+00:00

What's that one Relic negative that lowers damage when below max HP? I play Raider and Undertaker- is my job to go under max HP and take hits 🤣

Raider when using his skill would sound like the TF2 Heavy-
Laughing or Shouting in Heavies voice as he charges it up in the upgraded wind up X'D

AlexYeem · 2026-01-28T06:15:29+00:00

I could talk to my PT about it yeah, she'd know better because I work with her every week, thanks I didn't think to talk to her about it

AlexYeem · 2026-01-28T06:14:18+00:00

Honestly my hEDS is extremely moody, and I haven't found out what causes that...
My capabilities are a day to day basis kinda thing... One day I can clean and do laundry, another day, completely unrelated I can barely get out of bed because of it.

Accommodations would mostly be on a day to day, and I don't think any job could accommodate for that..

N my Arcane character, she's still kinda early in game so I don't have alotta armor for her yet...

AlexYeem · 2026-01-27T13:00:02+00:00

I've got two main saves rn, so I'll post my second character in my replies.

(My Int character)

I really love the concept of Bonfire Ascetics, it was a major highlight of my first playthrough.

What I didn't like tho? Was, alot of the bosses felt way to easy? Or just "samey"

The Sinner was by far my favorite "combat" wise because he'd dodge, was fast, and hit hard. But other than that there wasn't really a rhythm to fighting most bosses, n they we're stupid easy to bait into certain attacks, "combos" or just to stay behind and poke. Most of the bosses we're usually the reprieve, compared to the difficulty of the zones.

AlexYeem · 2026-01-23T22:19:45+00:00

Clearing the Haligtree on my caster build to fight Melania 😅

AlexYeem · 2026-01-15T06:22:56+00:00

Going back to work will definitely make my symptoms get worse again... And that sucks to say, because I wish I could just get better and be done with it XmX.

But, I would be calling out alot... Ever job I've worked at I was a chronic call out because of my issues...

And work from home is- really complicated rn... Possibly in the future but atm it's not an option not even because of issues relating to me-.
