VICTORY!!!!!!!

Before things got Really Dark last night, Kirsten brought in the mail. There was an envelope from the California EDD.

We won. I'm getting my benefits back-dated to 10 DEC 10, which is close to 1900 dollars, and a weekly award of close to 200 bucks. Instead of checks, they're now using debit cards, but they could send me wampum and goats for all I care! I'm finally getting my benefits!

Hooray! Congratulations! And I hope you'll be feeling better in multiple ways, what with this and the one-shot grant from BASFA.

I wish I could make it over there to thank everyone in person, but moving me anywhere is a chore these days. Plus the idea of Chris Garcia having access to my air tank is disturbing.

Finally! This is very good to hear.

Be careful what you wish for... getting stamps off a camel would not be a fun job.

yea - congrats. I read that they were doing debt cards instead of checks or they'll do direct deposit. Hopefuly this will help things out!

Congrats, & glad you don't get goats, they'd eat your library.

So how do you keep track of how much is on the debit card?

WOO-HOO! And, it's about damned time! Yay!

[identity profile] darthgeek.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's about time. I was wondering if they were just waiting for you to get better so they wouldn't have to pay you.

[identity profile] bellacrow.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
omg YES!
