I have to go to this mandatory workforce program in order to get medicaid and foodstamps. What we have to do is incredibly insane. I have to have a mandatory 30 hours a week of interviews. a=face to face interview = 2 hours b= employer visit to complete app= 1 hour and c= online app. respond to newspaper ad or phone contact=1/2 hour. Now it is going to be offly hard to come up with 30 hours a week interviews for 3 weeks straight. OMG stress and anxiety. I live in N.J. what does everyone think of this and how to go about it. This is so crazy just to get medicaid and foodstamps. They are making it harder and harder to get anymore I swear. I am going to my pdoc next thursday and she is going to fill out papers for me to be deferred from working ect fro now but in the mean time I was told I have to complete this 3 week course. I dont know how I am going to do it. Any suggestions???

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
Find the grove to do the least, but remember if you divide your time, by the dollars you'll get = its worth the time spent jumping though hoops ((((BIG HUG))))
I had similar crap one year in unemployment and manged to do it all in 30 minutes once a week! Find your grove, and look at the $$$$$ that you don't have anyway!!!! Your going to eat better, and have better insurance - yea it sucks, but its THERE.....
Any how act as stressed as you want. A nervous break down will help get your point across that you can't handle working. So just let your natural self out and every thing will be fine.
I know the urge to keep up appearances is hard to break but some times you have to let it all hang out. I have a habit of making myself appear better than I actually am on the inside.
Good luck I hope they see that you aren't faking it, you really can't handle working.
I went thru this.. it was some a pia but for the most part beneficial.
Good luck!
I would contact these people and have them rexplain what they want. The person who explained it first off may have screwed up and explained it wrong.
You might also look it up on the internet under medicaid/foodstamps.
It just doesn't sound right, I agree!!!
I definitely would get a note from your pdoc ASAP. It doesn't make sense for you to be put through these hoops if you are disabled. I know I'm just reiterating what other people have said, but I think it's the way to go.
Good luck!
