Social Security Disability

On Easter Sunday with her sister's
new kitten, Sophia

We have been putting off signing Kris up for Social Security Disability for months. It is a big milestone with lots of emotional meaning and ramifications that neither of us wanted to deal with. Kris loved her job and had worked there for 19 years. The owners and co-workers are like family to us. Once she starts receiving benefits, even if Kris feels up to working, she will not be able to earn more than $700 a month. Life really is unpredictable; you can leave work on any evening and never return. Since we finished the online application (which took hours!) we have already gotten three helpful phone calls from Social Security, which was totally surprising. Apparently, if you have cancer your disability application is fast-tracked.
