You have to put in so much time to qualify for any SS disability.

Answer by bwlobo
Drug testing for social security? That is innovative and sounds reasonable to me. Have you written to your senators or representative about it yet?

I’m so sorry you are having trouble with finding work. There are some states where work is not as difficult to find. Have you considered moving? You might need a relative to help you relocate.

Have you put your resume on “monster.com” or a site like that?

Best of luck to you!!!!!!!
