Thanks for the info. I am not thinking of applying for the SSDI. I don't think I'm to that point and I hope things do get better. With SSI, I can still work, (albeit on a lmited basis) and get the Medicaid benefits I need.
utah's elgibility rules are screwy. With my current income, no SSI, I would qualify for family medicaid and disability medicaid. Here's the issue: for disability medicaid, I have to be on SSI. For family medicaid, I would have to have child support for my daughter paid to me, not the other way around as it is now, despite the fact my ex and I share joint custody.
Without Medicaid, I will have nothing to work with.
I've researched this issue a lot before deciding and the application proccess can be extraordinarily difficult and long. I do appreciate the advice. If you or anyone else who has maybe been there has any further info that could help I'd be forever grateful.
