Better than yesterday, now that I am seeing my foodstamps for April on the pending payment thing. Like a day after I did my recertification interview I kept getting messages saying I didn't do it. Fuck you, yes I did. ๐ฌ
Everything is more of a cluster - f than normal. I have been trying to help a couple of clients get government services in place for MONTHS, these are things that used to be fill out the form/talk to your care team what you want, wait a month, two max. One client issue I've been chasing since August of last year!
I'm sure the current admin doesn't help things at all; but my county has always been messed up like this anyway. If I really had to, I do know of a physical office about 45 minutes away that is never busy and can deal with a person face to face. But that's always a last resort. shudders People... Ew.
