more important things....
important things that I found out today from Tom's annual appointment with the Multnomah Aging and Disability Department...
because Tom qualifies for SSI....
1. he will receive medical, dental, vision, mental health, and perscriptions for free forever. (maybe a co-pay on the drugs)
2. the state will pay (and reimburse past payments of) medicare forever
3. if he ever saves up more than $2000, he will lose his SSI benefit, which means losing both #1 and #2 above
4. the dental plan will provide dentures for free
5. he will continue to get food stamps for another year
The even more amazing bit of news....
Tomorrow we have an appointment for Tom to fill out an application for his own apartment.....and if everything goes smoothly (credit/eviction history and criminal background check) Tom will be able to move in Monday.
what?
that's what the nice lady on the phone at the apartment complex said.
Monday.

i think you need to think again....if you don't mind standing, you might find a small space in a corner of that room.
