[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 146168, member: 1697"] THank you for explaining it all. Actually some of it DOES sound like here after all. For most things you must have 2 photo IDs and something also must have your address and often your social security number (and or social security card) - and yes, birth certificate, and um....when I was getting WIC years ago, yup- delivered mail such as utility bill... I had not opened a new bank account in over 20 years and was surprised when my kids went to open new ones for themself- at age 16, for PCs, before they would open hers, they checked MY credit report, -she was at the same bank where I had had a checking and saveings account 20 years- Funny, though, my last mortgage refinance they asked for only my drivers license and when I bought my VW Bug in the fall, they did not ask for ANYTHING! That REALLY weirded me out. Rental is not scarce here, nothing like what you have- BUT it is expensive. Last week I heard on radio that in order to afford a 1 bedroom apartment here in our county, if you have a minimum wage job- you would have to work 97 hours per week to afford the rent. Yes, difficult child gets disability, too..and yes we had to notify soc sec when she began, and yes, soc sec will want a reason her job did not work out-which is why I asked her boss- becuz I am her representative....even tho she is over 18, now. And yes, it required so much paperwork, answers, explanations etc, and yes hers is for mental illness and due to her disabilty she cannot untangle all the requirements to do the follow thru. THere is a fine line between what I am legally allowed to do for her and what I cannot do-it can get so complicated. BUT becuz of husband, I have some experience with those issues. Now with easy child turning 18 in 2 weeks, and getting ready to move on to independance etc, the easy child type legal stuff is really a whole new thing for me to learn, LOL. [/QUOTE]
