Hi everyone-I have a question that I can't seem to get an answere to, so I will turn to my friends here. I have just received my first disability check from social security and I am wondering if anyone knows if social security will cover some of my SRS? Jolene

I am also on disability for a cervical spine injury and from what I've been told and through some research, social security won't cover any of the srs. I have state medical assistance here in Mn. and so far it is covering all the costs of my therapy and doctor visits for hrt but nothing else. The actual cost of my hormones falls under an out of pocket expense but fortunately that cost is relatively minor. I'd love to hear if anyone else has heard anything different.

With some major companies insurance covering us and with the AMA coming out this year including us in their nondiscrimination policy and I believe there is legislation in Congress to also include all transgendered people in nondiscrimination, this may open the door for us. I think this can get to be a very complicated topic. :banghead:

So far with all of the research I've been doing I haven't found much information either way. I'm fortunate at this time that my federally funded medical assistance is covering all of the cost of therapy, all but $3 of visits to my OB/Gyn for HRT prescriptions and monitoring, and all but $1 of the actual prescriptions. I'm figuring that since the spironolactone is sometimes used to control high blood pressure they assume that's why I take it. I'm not sure what their thoughts are with the estrogen.

My Ladies,

A good topic.I am on disability,SSDI.And with my name change coming soon.I Hope.

I wonder how it will affect my disablity?I am so afraid of them stopping it before i finish my journey.

Then,making ends meet will be very difficult,and still keep the time frame i set to be complete.

Hi Angie,

I just recently had my name legally changed as part of my divorce, January 3,2008, and afterwards had to go about changing everything from my old name to the new one. When I went to the local social security office to inquire about it all I had to do was show them the court order and they switched everything to my new name. I recieved a new social security card in the mail about 2 weeks later with the new name but original number and my disability checks were changed to reflect the new name. Other than the name change everything stayed the same. When you go to have it done make sure you inform them you recieve a check or they will just do the card and you'll have to do it all over again. It took me about 20 minutes in the office, mostly wait time to have everything done.

Make sure the copy of the court doccument is certified though or they will refuse to do anything. When I got mine I purchased 3 extra copies ($10 each) and had no problems getting my drivers license, medical records, pharmacy records, social security, and medical insurance changed over. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions regarding changing things over. Good luck getting the change of name.

      I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things.   Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff

      Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."

      frustration:  the frustration of creative instinct is a notorious evil of the machine age : the state or an instance of being frustrated. : a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs

      Good news dear.  Your journey continues with some supercharging.  Remember to fasten your seatbelt.  There are often a few bumps on the road.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"
