Fucking hell.

That's terrifying.

Calling it now, they fuck it up and people don't get paid.

As someone on SSDi....I'm quite terrified. I'm also on Medicaid and in HUD housing. What will happen if I don't get paid and Medicaid and HUD decide to drop me because of it?

If the only effect is I don't get paid, I'll be ok because I still have a little of the backpay that I got saved up. It's the possible fallout that Is stressing me out because right now I'm 100% reliant on the federal government and SSDi is tied into all of it.

Whatever they do, its bound to

  1. purposefully exclude certain people

  2. be fucked up for the people it was intended to continue working for
