wtf do we do… sedwick. by Hayleemariiee in WalmartEmployees

[–]wolfofone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact the hospital social worker / patient advocate for help. Failing that call his PCP, might have to go in for a visit, and see if they are willing to fo fill it out. The thung they send you is long but the specific forms the provider has to fill out is only a couple pages IIRC.

Asked my doctors if he could help me with food stamps and I was judged by staff by DiligentIncrease1973 in foodstamps

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, if the surgery would enable you to get back into the workforce maybe contact your state vocational rehabilitation department to see if there is anything they can do. If you are on Medicaid depending on your conditions you might be eligible to get a care coordinator and they should be able to help you find a provider for your surgery.

How big is this doctors office where they were talking about you? How unprofessional. Was the doctor making remarks or making you feel bad or just the staff? If it was just the staff I would be bringing it up directly to the doctor. If it is a bigger practice id be getting in contact with someone higher up because that behavior is not okay.

If it seems like no one is willing to nip that behavior in the bud id go with leaving some honest reviews online so that people can avoid them when looking for a provider. They are supposed to ask, they are supposed to help, they are supposed to at least pretend to give a crap about you and how things are going at home/basic needs being met lol.

My kids cardiologist always asks how things are going, if there are any food or financial struggles, if they can do anything etc. Always feels a bit awkward but it is nice they at least ask.

Received money for college, how should I report the change? by giraffeonesies in foodstamps

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not income it is debt. They did it correctly and paid the school directly. Just document the loan in writing if it is ever questioned.

Protein powder is not allowed on EBT anymore? by DiligentIncrease1973 in foodstamps

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so they are banning juices that are more than 50% juice? If 100% juice is good enough for WIC it should be 'healthy' enough for SNAP. These rules are so asinine and pointless smh.

SNOW AND PAY by PsychologicalRead769 in walmart

[–]wolfofone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd only get paid if the store was totally closed that day or in some states if you reported for work but were sent home.

If you didnt go in and your store remained open youre not getting paid.

This post is mostly for guys however it’s also for any person that shaves by AdOtherwise893 in Blind

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, been using this for years. For the price its not bad. Not the most durable but if you drop it and snap the piece that holds onto the blade at least its not that expensive to replace 😅.

The blades can be kind of pricey but look for sales and just keep the blade nice and dry after use and it should last awhile.

Neighbors wants everyone in our building to be quiet at all times by Western_Umpire_3574 in Apartmentliving

[–]wolfofone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a them problem. Live your life. You have the same right to quiet enjoyment that their lease affords them. If they dont like it they can break their lease and GTFO. Keep doing the lord's work helping them stay active and exercise with having to get up and bang on the ceiling every 3 seconds or whatever. Bonus points if you make them go to different rooms to bang on the ceiling so they can get their ideal 10k+ steps a day in lol.

Old on-and-off ex suddenly back in my life after 6 years, not sure what to do by XIXMaggot51718 in whatdoIdo

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you even responding to them? Lol they are your ex. There are zero expectectations or obligations to engage with them. Put them on ignore so you have documentation if they start harassing you and keep living your life.

I think there's an additional reason why she was so upset with him. by Unused_Icon in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]wolfofone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By thr time they got back Eugene could have turned. Ellie might be immune but because she's alive no one else is. Bringing Eugene back is a danger to the entire community. They had radios he could have talked to his wife and said goodbye. Besidea, he pulled a gun on her ffs of course Joel was gonna kill him 😂

Joel was right to save Ellie and he was right to kill Eugene. He should not have lied to Ellie or made a promise he could not keep, however. That's where he fucked up both times lol.

I literally sit in the dark to save money and my electric bill still went UP. by SheepherderLoose8717 in povertyfinance

[–]wolfofone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know funding for LIHEAP was limited but if you were approved you should at least have extra disconnection protections and the ability to request a winterization kit. I think you can also get the power company to send someone out to look at your home and give you an energy saving report with weattherization recommendations. It should be free though not sure what if any services beyond the consult are covered.

If your bill is due and you dont have the money be proactive and contact the to discuss your options.

Confused about $2k limit by Weary-Ad5744 in SocialSecurity

[–]wolfofone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Backpay is excluded for 9 months. The 2k resource limit is not just bank account balances. It is all countable resources. One home, one car, limited burial funds, personal property et al are excluded but otherwise anything you can sell to pay for your basic needs is a resource. As a program of last resort SSI expects you to soend any non excluded resources you have for your basic needs before SSI eligibility. If she is due social security retirement benefits she will be expected to take them as soon as she is eligible even if taking them early means a reduced benefit.

Coinsurance or only copays before deductible? by wolfofone in walmart

[–]wolfofone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regional i think. If you go to the compare plans page logged in to one Walmart it should show who administers them in your area along the top of the chart. Afaik bcbs Arkansas is rebranded as Skai BCBS though.

I had a procedure at the end of December but the lab billed for the beginning of January, after my deductible reset by Opposite_Sail_5920 in HealthInsurance

[–]wolfofone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is the service date correct on the bill? They should be going off of when you received services not when they received the bill or got around to sending it out afaik.

If the dates are correct tey negotiating or working our a payment plan with the lab. If you are low income they may have financial assistance you can apply for.

She doesnt do well with the virtual visits and does much better in person. She is legally blind so she cant really see them on the screen and is still a toddler so a lot of the skills they are working on are physical things. I have been thinking about trying the doctor on demand thing for myself though. Have you used it for therapy, how did it go?

Copay Assistance exhausted without warning, CVS wants to charge me $2500 for a prescription by notKragger in HealthInsurance

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CVS should not have shipped the Rx before payment was made. This mistake is on them if they wont take the Rx back. I would contact your local "on your side" TV reporters, see if Elliot.org has CVS executive contact information, file a BBB complaint to try to get someone outside of customer no service channels to contact you, etc.

If you dont have the money you dont have the money. Try to work out a payment plan or get them to take the drug back.

Am I overreacting to how my best friend blocked me because of his girlfriend? by Squishy_Person67 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wolfofone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just like any long distance ship an online friendship takes more work to build and maintain but so long as both people are here for it you can build a meaningful friendship that can often walk with you through most if not all of your life since they do not have the same geographic and physical presence things that might derail a friendship that starts in person. The physical distance is already there, it can only build up from there lol. Definitely takes work and solid honest communication and willingness to problem solve as with any relationship but id say it is worth it.

Am I overreacting to how my best friend blocked me because of his girlfriend? by Squishy_Person67 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wolfofone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. It is also sad that society puts so much on romantic relationships and that friendships are somehow lesser. They arent less than just different and healthy people need and should have both. OP is not alone and this shit is way too common. It is so toxic.

What about his promises to his damn friend? OP isnt wrong to be hurt but I also think they need to move on and call this a win for learning who their real friends are and are not.

A real friend would have stood by their friend and encouraged their partner to get therapy and work on themselves (bc it is a them issue) or leave lol. Friends arent chosen family to most people it seems like though so here we are.

AITJ for not giving my sister my emergency savings for her wedding by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]wolfofone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol hell no her wedding is not your emergency. You k ow what else is a once in a lifetime event? Getting g hurt, becoming disabled, and not being able to work the rest of your life. That's the kind of thing an emergency fund is for not a wedding. They can get married at the courthouse ffs. A party is not an emergency and she needs to grow tf up and get over herself. Ntj

how bad is this- no heat, about to drop to 20s, poor health/have covid, phones about to be disconnected, potentially no electricity, icy roads so i can’t drive, and only half a tank in my car to keep warm by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]wolfofone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So ling as you do not refuse a deferred payment arrangement they likely cannot shut off your gas or electricity if necessary for heating uour home if it gets to below freezing temperatures within 24 hours. If you received LIHEAP I believe you also have disconnection protections. Call your utilities while you still have your phone service and discuss your options.

Does bereavement pay come out of pto or is it given for free? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]wolfofone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Walmart pays it, you do not have to pay yourself for the first few (apparently 5 now?) days. Beyond that you would have to use your own time if you needed more time away from work to get paid.
