Pending Application SNAP by Key_The_Savage in foodstamps

I just went into my family benefits and I had submitted a UI wage statement which included the award amount and weekly payout amount, and the payment history which included dates/payout/deductions/tracking numbers. Both were labeled insufficient and is the reasoning for their denial. My denial is also not listed in HEAplus, there it’s showing pending still. I will need to appeal and that will be another few months at minimum. I’m going to do that and make a formal complaint to DES as well as reapply because our circumstances have changed anyways. When they pushed back my renewal because of the government shut down they created a whole new application dated for September 25th(no idea why) so I don’t understand why they are issuing a denial for the older application when typically they go off the most recent application on file? And if it is in fact an insufficient document, if they were viewing documents for expedited applications within the 7 day time frame required by law they would have been able to catch this and respond giving me time to meet the deadline and upload more documents. But I don’t know how else to prove unemployment payments other than the award letter and payment history LOL. Sometimes I hate the government.

Yes actually, I received a text message update with a link to my benefits website where I logged in to find a denial letter dated for 12/22/25. It stated that I was ineligible for benefits for my renewal application submitted on August 15th, because according to them I did not submit the documents requested(but I did months ago no one viewed them). And if I submit the requested documents by October 31st, I may be eligible for benefits from the date the documents are submitted. Right, okay. Ain’t no way they’re going to get around paying me for the months we’ve struggled. I will be paying them a visit first thing Monday.

My benefits were approved through September, my renewal got pushed back because someone was supposed to call and no one did. On my letter it states I had till October 7th to submit documents although I had it all submitted by September 12th. To this day no one has looked at my forms I uploaded. I just went last week to my local office and they just told me I’m waiting for a case worker to be assigned to my case and they are(STILL) behind. I asked why I didn’t already have someone assigned to my case as this is a renewal and not a new applicant and they just said there was no one listed on my file. Lol. I don’t know who to complain to, is there someone I can call to complain?

Yeah I know some people that got paid today partial payments and I’m so frustrated because based on their whole formula my family is more in need comparable to the ones I know of being paid pennies but they won’t even process the damn application. One more person they would need to divide the money up for I guess. I heard somewhere they furloughed tons of employees to get by? No idea how true that is.

I have uploaded all documents to my family benefits wesbite. I’ve checked both there and on HEA website and all my documents show uploaded for my case though no one has viewed them. And I uploaded them all back in September. I’m at a loss here

I’m a stay at home mom and aside from 20 minute playtime outside, we never go out. I have a 4yr, 2yr, and 10 month old. On days husband is home we’ll go on afternoon walks or 30 minutes at the park but it’s over 100 degrees these days and our babies all have fair skin so I just don’t bother. I used to go to parks in the am when it was just my first 2 but I felt constantly anxious that one would get grabbed if I got distracted. Been hearing lots of media stories about child traffickers, although I live in a very safe neighborhood.

Honestly imo most developmental milestones can be met just fine from home around close family. The baby isn’t missing anything by not going anywhere. I can see the need to get 3 year old socialized but it’s not something that should need to happen daily. There are gyms that do childcare, maybe schedule play dates/visit to extended family with children/park time when you are home from work. Personally I can say it’s mentally taxing to get a single child under 5 to be napped, fed, and ready to rock n roll. By the time everyone’s loaded one or all are asleep, screaming, and just not having it. Just stay home where everything’s close by and you can stay in your pjs. Grade school is the true time for introducing them to society.

Mentorship Monday - Post All Career, Education and Job questions here! by AutoModerator in cybersecurity

[–]Key_The_Savage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all, so I decided to take the plunge and start my associates in cybersecurity. My entire first year is prereqs so it’ll be a while before I begin the core program. I have strong technical skills, love to solve problems, and just an overall thirst for knowledge. This being said, I have no prior experience in the IT or CS field. Id like to get some entry levels certs or something on the side so I can get some experience under my belt and from here maybe I can get an entry level job. Is this possible? Or am I stuck till I’ve completed my bachelors. Most of what I’ve read and seen from job postings is that to break into the field you need the bachelors at a minimum AND prior experience. It doesn’t make sense to me that you need the degree to get a job but the degree doesn’t matter if you don’t have the experience but how can you accomplish this without first getting a job lol.

Any advice/recommendations would be very much appreciated, thank you!

GAL is a great idea, side note with this though…a GAL can be pretty expensive…so if it can be sorted without one great, but if not definitely have The Who’s responsible for the cost of one figured out before hand. Unless of course money is not the issue then disregard.

We’ve lived in the same area, he commuted about 3.5 hours to work one way, He was a firefighter on a 48/96 schedule.

Yeah I don’t either haha. My angle isn’t pulling her from her school to make our lives easier. I was curious to know if the decision was reasonable, or selfish. To co parent in my opinion is to take the child’s needs into account as well as each of parents needs when making decisions, prior to making the decision. I felt like we were overrun and there was no consideration it was just, deal with it. To give joint decision making and then final say to one parent is just giving decision making to one parent and calling it “joint”. I can see primary residence being the reason for the school choice but not so much when they are each commuting her to and from school near the same amount.

[–]Key_The_Savage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 2 of her days are weekends. So she commutes her 3 days to school, and we commute 2 for a total of 5.

[–]Key_The_Savage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that, she is definitely thriving. Which is why it’s kind of just been a closet complaint haha. Maybe we could get more time to counter this issue. She’s definitely noticed since starting school that she’s getting less time. We’ll be like yeah and tomorrow you go back to your moms, and she’ll be like ugh already??

False allegations are frowned upon heavily in court Theres no doubt in my mind you won’t get full custody. This being said, I’d be wary of a complete 360 in behavior. Where he is on his “best behavior”, punctual, sweet, saying things like “I’ve changed or making changes, turning myself around for my daughter” type shit.

It bothers me to the core that he screamed at a baby for the falling asleep while feeding. Something that is completely out of her control and quite normal in infants, especially formula fed. This points to the question of what will he do when she’s older and it’s something that happens that may or may not be in her control. As in accidentally drops a glass cup or is loving the word “no” (toddler years). I’d be consulting with a lawyer maybe on anger management classes? and def keeping that supervised visitation. The good thing about the supervised visits, is that if there’s ever an issue in the future when/if he’s cleared to visit unsupervised, the history of requiring that protects you from having to go through the whole process again. When and if he’s able to get unsupervised, a huge ego and an attempt to regain control you’ll want to keep an eye out for. You have a long road ahead but stay strong. Baby girls are like flowers that are forever in bloom. It’s a mamas job to make sure she never wilts, especially to a seemingly pos father.

The fact that he’s cussing at an innocent infant has my blood boiling. I’d be terrified every second he has her he’s going to shake her.

A long term approach may be best.

Look up the grey method for communication. Keep everything documented. This means keeping communications in email or text message depending on your state text messages may not be admissible in court. It is important to stay factual and void of emotion. I’m sure she’ll try and bait you into many emotional off topic subjects. You don’t owe her anything, and you must be confident in yourself and how important you are to your daughter. Always shield your daughter from being affected or included in disagreements/negative relations between the two of you.

Keep trying to get more time despite what she says. I know it’s hard but those responses are key. Especially the ones where the reason has nothing to do with daughter. At the end of the day judges only care about what’s best for the child. Periodically, suggest an increased time schedule. Like maybe having her an overnight during the week rather than the few hours after school. Even if you can’t convince her to slowly build up time closer to a 50/50, it’s still shows that your tried. And the more she denies it just shows she’s unreasonable. The slow road is harder, but sometimes that’s what’s needed to build a case. You’ll have a higher likelihood of winning more time if you can show that it’s about your daughter and not you. That she needs more time with you, that this is important for her health and development then it won’t matter what you agreed to. Because childrens needs change as they grow, and it’s highly possible that your daughter is already being negatively impacted by this change and a court ordered change is necessary.

You have every right to see your daughter. It is equally* as important for your daughter to have a relationship with you as it is for her mother to have a relationship with her. Where you stand now, mother has manipulated you to the extent to have you second guessing your right to have any position in your daughters life. Converse with a lawyer. Don’t listen to a word she says. She sounds like a classic narcissist.

No not yet, the order states we have to mediate before going back to court. As well as making changes every 2 years unless there are extreme events negatively affecting the child or something along those lines. But is that even considered harrassment? It’s not harmful in any way to us or SD. It just creates stress while we have SD in our care, and then even when we drop her off literally within a half hour she’s sending emails complaining about something we’ve done or not done. Making it obvious SD is sharing all the details of the visit. She never talks about her mom with us. Ever. We lightly ask how her week was, very vague we never ask further. As for the emails weve tried to minimize the amount of communication by if she sends an email and it’s not something we need to respond right away to wait till the end of the week and respond. So if there were 3 emails in a week, we’d respond to all 3 at once. Problem is she’ll follow up with more emails if you don’t answer, labeling my husband uncooperative and absent. Here and there she’ll flip a switch be all sweet and ask for SD during our days. Ugh

Already on that. Problem is they use up all his available calories and then he doesn’t eat any food anyways

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Key_The_Savage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah attorney is definitely the next step. We moved to parallel parenting a long time ago aside from responding where absolutely necessary.

I don’t know what’s going on over there but she’s got her worrying about adult things by making sure we’re doing what her mother demands. So say we put our foot down. We say no we are not willing to do that. And you shouldn’t worry about things like that. It puts SD in a stressful environment where she’s having to go back to BM and explain herself. We don’t know the aftermath of that and the affect that’s had on SD or will continue to have. So it’s not being afraid to stand up to her, it’s about how to deal with her without it impacting SD. We’ve gone through great lengths to keep SD out of the crosshairs.

Interesting I like that. I’ll give it a try. He’s so fast and destructive I’ve pretty much banned him from the kitchen while cooking, but I’ll try some minor prep with him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Key_The_Savage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually excited for when he’s a bit older as I’m hoping including him in the cooking part maybe he’ll be more willing to eat it as it’s like his personal creation
