Cousin is crippled due to peripheral neuropathy. Permanent nerve damage, limited use of hands and feet, and chronic lifelong pain from intensive and aggressive chemotherapy for large, fast growing cancer. (Cancer is gone now. Treatment crippled her. She is 35.)

Anyway, she collects 780 bux social security disability check each month, and also has Medicaid. Making ends meet on this small sum is near impossible, because she can no longer qualify for food stamps. Also, because she recently qualified for Medicaid, she now has to pay a small amount towards rent on her apartment. (Rent was free last year, now it is 125 bux a month. She has to pay electricity and water.)

Her 15 year old son lives with her, and gets something like 250 bux a month. That helps.

However, all things considered, it’s not enough. Needing to know, can she take a little part time job, like answering phones or something, and supplement her disability income that way, without losing the disability check?
