You know, I've never had government benefits paid to me unless you  
count a one-time $600 Voc Rehab grant whilst I was in college.  I  
must admit I don't envy you the trials of dealing with the government  
"alphabet soup" and I certainly don't look forward to the Social  
Security/Medicare quagmire when I retire.

Hey, Mag, I was thinking of you while I was listening to Joan Baez on  
the way home today. :)

I get ssi, as well as SS  on account of my mom and dad, and I have both
medi-cal (medicaid) and medicare on account of my dad, plus I also have

Sometimes it's
a headache, because the wheelchair shop has to bill medi-cal first,  
receive
a denial, and so on. and I still have not gotten a new manual chair,  
i am
using one that was my cousin's mother in law's. So Regional Center  
pays for
repairs on it, and new parts...  the power chair is covered by  
medicare, I
have dental under my dad's dental... No idea what it will do after he
dies...  So, it's a combination.
