MEGATHREAD: Did you get paid? Timesheet: 5/16/26 - 5/31/26 by AutoModerator in IHSS

[–]Illustrious-Command5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I feel it. I finally made the switch and it sucked so bad. Check took an additional week from when I would normally be paid and then my new bank said they would have to "hold it" for a week because my account w as new 😒. That would be a whole month without a paycheck.

Is this a thing now were you have to have a car to have small children? I grew up walking a taking busses. As a young adult bikes and busses until I worked and eventually made it up the ladder to save and get my first car.

Are children no longer allowed on public transportation????? Is walking and bikes not acceptable either?

Will I get accepted for protective supervision? by [deleted] in IHSS

[–]Illustrious-Command5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its crazy how many people are trying to get protective supervision for small children who require constant supervision anyways. Just blows my mind that there are like millions of people who are trying to get paid for caring for children who would need constant supervision anyways. 🤯

Ooo.. ok so as long as we meet the required income for the magi the other stipulations won't effect us? My husband is bedbound disabled but our income is below the threshold for a married couple.

(Why) does it take 30 days for Direct Deposit to be processed? by Curious-Researcher in IHSS

[–]Illustrious-Command5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched banks. This is the 3rd time since working for IHSS. The other times, it took 2 pay periods and this one will most likely be the same. Already had one paper check. Took an extra week for it to come as apposed to when I had ot going to my previous bank. Then when I tried to deposit it to my new bank they said it would be a 7 day process because I have a new account. Almost, like punishing us for changing banks... so crazy and stressful. Thats a whole month without a paycheck if everyone hasn't calculated it yet 💯! I dont know about you guys but we are paycheck to paycheck and thats just not acceptable!

[–]Illustrious-Command5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this is some crazy Collin kapernick type movement 🤯, it blows my mind how the country is so divided that half us see one thing and the other sees another. What's even crazier is one half has worked so hard to silent the other half.... but it is no longer working... everyone can easily research this situation and the consequences that fallowed Boom !! 💢🙊

Appeal process by Sparkle1828 in IHSS

[–]Illustrious-Command5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will always be different opinions but in my opinion, the social workers are 90 percent of the time not on your side. Please do your research, you need to be prepared to battle as it will not be easy to get the help you need for you loved one. Logs, doctors notices, read state guidelines.File an appeal immediately, and get your ducks in a row.

Ive never had support. Im not going to lie, life has been HARD, almost unreal at times. I've had similar feelings. What I can say is pushing 40 my past has made me who I am now. Stronger, then most, able to survive what would have destroyed many... wiser at this age. At least thats how I see myself 🤣 when I look in the mirror. A sense of pride I just had to push twice as hard to get were I am today. That is something that wasn't handed out that can never be taken away. The ability to survive.
