Does having SSI mean you couldn't receive covid unemployment checks after losing your job?  Genuine question cos idk. 

I was sent a covid check, and later on a letter for who to talk to in case I was not sent a check. 

Which is why I was confused about her pointing out crows 'fat covid check' i was under the impression everyone either got their checks or their unemployment checks paid out cos covid.

You're looking for sympathy about your current situation that's you've put yourself into and getting mad cos other people are pointing out that you just use a small amount of that money to not be in such a situation. 

So you've described what you eat, what does BR eat? Does he forage and dumpster dive alongside you? He doesn't seem to have a problem with it? 

Yeah I'm a little curious less over what he eats and more over how he feels about Delora eating trash. 

Maybe I'm just super anti-trash biased, I know some dumpsters throw out fairly fresh things, but I dunno

 Most grocery stores end up throwing away perfectly fine food because best before dates and scared of lawsuits so I understand why some people dumpster dive buttttttttt

Yed

There's also a lot of crap, mold and bacteria in these dumpsters and idk if it's worth it. Better off working at a pizza place and taking home any of the fuck up pizzas/left overs 

 pizza is not a good dietary base plus i am on a karaite kosher diet which makes it harder to find food. This includesbat the pantry 

I will break into your house and reorganize your keyboard so you have to learn to type ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

^This. It's about the intention behind the label rather than the label itself.

Fyi if i were br,s legal rep mommy daddy house in a fancy rich people town would never let me hear the end if it.

"i live with my mommy and im ok so you must be to!"

Just as much projection as "my lady partner controls my finances cus im quirky and sub like dat UwU you must be like dat to!"

 Is this a gendered issue to you?  What's so odd about the woman in the relationship being in charge of the finances?

 So you don't think TC is a woman?

 I'm talking about what Delora thinks.  I know your reading comprehension is not stellar, but please at least try to keep up with the sections you're replying to.

 My reading comprehension is fine but yours needs work. Delora didn't say anything about TC's gender, only that his 'lady partner' managed his finances. You were the one who referred to "the woman in the relationship" implying there's only one and it's you.

So do you think TC is a woman?

If you look at how she worded it, she said 'the woman' without self-referencing. There's nothing in what either Delora nor Crow said that aims to presume my gender beyond the implications in Delora's statement of the gender binary. 

 The self-reference is implied with the conversation being about your situation and delora's comment about how your lady partner, crow, (she could have said gf) manages your finances to which crow replied "What's so odd about the woman in the relationship being in charge of the finances?"

As a general question, yeah. It's in response to "my lady partner controls my finances cus im quirky and sub like dat UwU you must be like dat to!", which implies that to have 'the lady' be in charge of finances is 'subby and quirky' of the lady's partner rather than potentially normal, as if there's some reason that a lady shouldn't be in charge of them. 

Seems extra weird for Delora to say when it sounds like she's in charge of the finances. 

 

 im not.

i like foraging but it only gets you so far. The food pantries usually just have bread and pastries. Dollar store is to expensive i can get foods for less than a dollar in other waYs. One dollar food adds up. 

pizza is not a good dietary base plus i am on a karaite kosher diet which makes it harder to find food. This includesbat the pantry

So instead of food stamps you've been doing a food pantry? You made it sound like foraging the dumpster.

You aren't in charge of finances for yourself?

I have to forage dandelions to eat, And gather the harvest from wild fruit trees. There are days that i go without eating at all. Food has grown more and more expensive overtime. i can see some ways to get out if my situation a little but but i cant help but feel stuck. I have lived on almost nothing for years trying to save the bits of money that trickle my way. I will buy some basic land soon and make a small farm so i can carr for my family someday. i am also going to try my hand at stock. Wish me lucK.

Um... Aren't you on SSI?  And didn't you brag about scamming them for more money than you're supposed to be getting?  If you're living on dandelions, you may want to rethink your spending habits. lol

 you clearly dont know anything about how ssi works. I am living on 750 a month and i am approved for food stamps but it never comes in the mail. due to covid i cant pick it up and tjey have resent the card 10+ times a d it never comes. No i dont brag about doing something for survival out of desperation. im eating dandelions because its the only way to save money so we can have enough to get out of this hole the system tries to trap me in and save enough scraps to crawl out. dony tell me how im wrong or how you tjink it works or actually works or should work or what your aunt sarahs situation is because you dont know shit about my life and im not going to explain it all.

 I'm TC's legal representative.  For SSI.  In the same state as you. lol

$750 per month is the maximum if you're paying rent.  You're staying with family instead of paying rent.  Which means you should be getting just over $500, max.  But, as you once boasted, you're lying to them about your living situation to maximize payments.

While I agree that either way it's not really a livable sum, it is in fact more than you're meant to be getting, and more than the nothing it takes to live on dandelions and dumpster diving.  A life I'm versed in myself, and can also go into detail on, should you choose to exploit the justification.  If you want to talk about living on less than $60/month, boy have I got some stories for you.

That entirely aside, I lost my job due to Covid, and in the meantime, TC's payments, without lying about our rent situation, is enough to cover food costs.  And we're not even on food stamps, like you are.

You say the card has continually not shown up in the mail, but they only send the card once, at the beginning of enrollment, if you're not receiving payment in checks.  You've been on SSI for some time, as I understand, and receiving payments.  Unless you mean that your food stamps haven't shown up, in which case you have SSI money you could be using instead.  And if it's truly been ten times in a row, you're in for a sizeable backpay, which I imagine you know.

You also chose to move to Hawaii, giving up your rent-free situation to pay an overpriced rental fee for a literal fucking tent. That doesn't scream 'desperation' to me.  It screams poor financial management.

I don't doubt you're under the poverty line, and that it's stressful.  Many people here are.  But let's not roleplay that you're like some potato famine victim, dying on the roadside with grass stains around your lips.  You're hoarding SSI.  I've got no beef with that, it's sensible, and honestly, fuck their system.  But you're fine.  You have money, and a support network.  And you only made this thread to congratulate yourself on your victimhood.

 lmao - it sounds like a competition

 yeah thats what shes doing. I never came here to compete, im venting on the internet and also expressing hope and fat covid unemployment check here should fuck off

 "I never came here to compete.............  AND ALSO SHE'S GETTING MORE MONEY THAN ME."

 i didmt cone here to compete, i pointed it out because you wanna say oh, im as bad off as you and i dont complain. Wish i had a covid check

 Where did I say that?

Its actually not. i have lived on very little a month before btw. Chill. This isnt a contest.

She's moreso correcting how poor you aren't, which is otherwise on topic with the OP. 

She herself admitted im way below the poverty line

Based on how much SSI pays, aka the same money we use for food without using food stamps. 

if you're not receiving payment in checks.  You've been on SSI for some time, as I understand, and receiving payments.  Unless you mean that your food stamps haven't shown up, in which case you have SSI money you could be using instead. 

That goes to trying to becone self sufficient and crawl out if this hole.

Food's not that pricy if you go for stuff like noodles. 

wrong.

$1.35 for a box of noodles. 

Oh and what about  1.35 evrey day? plus sauce and veggied? shit adds up next rhing you know its a couple hundred fir food a month for two people

Two people?  BR said you guys were living separately.  Also, if he's living off the SSI money as well, shouldn't he be on SSI himself?  You guys could be getting twice as much, right?
