Hound dog
Nana's are Beautiful
Thankfully M didn't have to work and we didn't have to put up with Evan for 2 hrs in the car plus the disability office.
I went in with Katie. Not sure if she was thrilled with that or not, didn't actually care either. lol Figured we paid the gas, I was going in.
So caseworker had to go over all the financial business and where they lived since applying ect all again to make sure everything was correct before making it a done deal.
Martial status: katie told them Nov of 04
Living situation:
cw stated the address for the dayton shelter......was surprised to find out that address is a shelter, not a home. cw stated the current shelter......again was surprised to find out that it was a shelter, not a home. Katie gave the cw her lease for the hud apartment, explained how much rent ect......cw asked if all 5 of them will be living in the apartment. Katie said yes. I spoke up and said no, that only 4 of them are listed on the lease she just gave cw as their is currently an issue with M living in a hud apartment. cw's eyebrows shot up and I got flashed a knowing look. Katie jumped in with they were appealing it and expect him to be accepted shortly. cw decided to keep it that they're living together for the moment but told katie as soon as it is decided one way or the other she'd better contact her immediately.
Financial:
Katie had to tell her M is working. Now the girl has been telling me he's pulling double 8 hr shifts because he's currently the only dishwasher they have.......she told cw that he averages 6 hrs @ 8.00 per hr. Kept my mouth shut as his pay stubs will show the truth. Katie did not state she currently is working. So a suspicion I've been keeping my mouth shut about has been confirmed. The telemarketing job was simply to get into the hud apartment. She's already quit.
cw asked if they were receiving a welfare check along with food stamps and insurance. katie told her she'd run out of that funding many years ago. (again the knowing look from cw)
As cw is typing much of this up she says well, then this must have been huge news for you guys, huh? katie says yes it was. cw gives me yet another knowing look then adds......obviously you've had a really "rough" time of it for many years. She also took note that katie is a recent resident of ohio and commented on it.
At the end.........she went over the fact that katie has to account for every dime of the monthly check that is spent and what it was spent on. Big items she warned her she'd better save receipts. I'd forgotten they did this for children. And I almost cracked up laughing. This was after katie was told she'd get almost 700.00 per month with almost 3000.00 for back pay from when she filed in dec. Her eyes lit up.......they were not shining after she was told she'd have to account for what she bought. lol So I guess no playstation and psp for Alex out of this money. lol
So she'll have money to furnish her apartment if she doesn't blow it on stupid stuff. I'm forcing myself to look at it in terms of the grandkids so it doesn't make me furious again.
But while it went right over katie's head........cw made it clear she has the girls number. So maybe they'll flag her file and watch her closely.
One thing that surprised me was she made a big point of asking if katie had ever been charged with a felony. So if you've been charged with a felony you can't get disability?? Or is it you can't oversee it for someone else? I'm thinking maybe more the latter.....I guess. If that's the case.....M is outta luck if anything happens to katie as far as Alex's disability check is concerned. hmm
The marriage date I found interesting. Because in her own journal she states that she hopes M will finally marry her........that was in august. Now either that is sign of some serious mental issues going on.........or she's lying to govt agencies.
When I heard how much the back pay was going to be......first thought that popped into my head was that was enough money for them to head back to Mo. Noooo I'm not a pessimist. lol
