Problem: I am still disabled and if I signed the paper the government would take away my check. Then I'd not have any money to live on or pay my bills. But I can't figure out how to get off SSI without a degree. All the things I'm good at require atleast a BS/BA. The jobs I could get with my AA in Liberal Arts aren't things I can do physically.
Ideas?
I've heard that some Employment Networks are willing to pay for a BA degree. If you go that route, make sure you learn about their rules and if they require you to make "timely progress" to keep your benefits.
