I am over the limit with medicaid and my medication expenses have become very expensive. Can I get SS Disability to help?

Unfortunately, your situation is becoming more and more common. I would suggest writing a “dire need” letter, which is simply a letter that you send to the attention of the hearing office where your claim is pending a hearing date. In the letter, you need to specify very clearly how dire your financial situation is. In certain instances, a dire need letter can result in a hearing request being expedited, which simply means that your case will be moved up faster. You should also contact the office of your governor, senator or congressman and request a congressional inquiry on your behalf. It would also be advisable to consult with an attorney who specializes in Social Security disability.
