Finally, I am currently applying for Federal disability benefits as required by my insurance provider offering my current ex-job based benefits and paying my current disability payments, that is currently ongoing.
In addition, the Lifeline program has a ceiling of 135% of the poverty level, and only applies for people on Medicaid or already on SSI. My current payments put me at just above the ceiling for eligibility, so I would not qualify.
But, thanks for your concern.
