    Default Disabled and Ineligible for Unemployment

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California.

    I applied for Unemployment in 2007 and was awarded 3,000 or so. I never got one disbursement. I was unaware of the award because I was homeless and did not have a mailing address. I was also held hostage in a mental hospital for 30 days while my car was impounded and that ruined my credit. 30k plus hospital/ambulance bills plus car impound 1500 on credit card.

    Later I applied for unemployment again and I am not eligible because unemployment is actually severance pay through my employer.

    My problem is I have no money to look for work. And I have been unemployed since 2008. I didn't qualify for Disability Insurance after a head injury through EDD because I couldn't afford a doctor. My application was returned without a chance for appeal. I was homeless and didn't have a mailing address. I couldn't go to mental health appoinments to try and get mental health disability through Social Security. Mental Health program Catalyst through Providence Community Services told me about that and signed me up.

    I have been without income for over 7 years.

    - - - Updated - - -

    PS I lost my drivers license due to the head injury and attempted suicide twice. Once I was falsely arrested for attempted murder when I attempted suicide. I am mad and want to complain because I am not even counted as an unemployed person in the unemployment statistic. I wish there was internet in mental hospitals/jails. Couldn't even call 411 or automated numbers same is true in jail where people are punished prior to sentence. I wish court was on youtube so it wasn't corrupt and the people could actually assemble in peace and have freedom of speech. I wish they paid people minimum wage.

    When you receive a denial letter from SSA, it's actually printed - very visibly - that you can appeal. And appeal again. And then you're in front of the judge who will decide.

    It's going to be asked, so I might as well be the one who asks.

    How have you been supporting yourself all these years?

    For Disability Insurance I never got a letter of denial. My application was returned and I was told to get a doctor to fill it out. My medical records and bills on CD were returned without consideration. Thus without being able to afford a doctor first I was not eligible for disability insurance. I have been living homeless and selling food stamps and my mom has been trying to help me. She now has severe breast cancer and it is visible on her skin.

    PS> OFTEN WHEN I AM HOMELESS THERE IS NO PLACE TO MAIL OUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY DENIAL LETTERS

    If you submitted an incomplete application, had it returned to you with instructions to complete your application, and chose not to submit a complete application, you failed to properly apply for the benefit. When you choose not to properly apply for a benefit, you have nobody to blame for the denial of that benefit but yourself.

    If you are able to figure out how to get food stamps, you should be able to figure out how to get Medi-Cal.

    If you haven't worked since 2007, the reason you cannot presently get UI is that you have no work history that would qualify you for UI. Also, to collect unemployment you need to be able to work. If you are disabled, you should instead seek state disability insurance or, depending on your work record, SSI or SSDI.

    It is possible to get SSA Diasbility without seeing a dr reguarly, although this very rarely happens. SSA has drs that they will send you to for a diagnosis and other info. The medical records from when you were hospitalized could have been used. Employment Development (EDD) is not the same things as Social Security Administration/Disability Determination Services. Did you file an application with Social Security ? Even if someone else filed if for you, you would have had to sign the application and provide certain info.

    Looking at the original post, as the application was reported to have been submitted to the EDD as opposed to the SSA, the application would have been for California SDI.

    To mrknowitall:
    I didnt have a doctor to fill out the application so I could not complete it or appeal. Actually the mental health program catalyst through PCS providence community services filled out the food stamp application for me I never knew about it before. Also my mom helped me re-apply because when I was homeless I couldn't qualify for anything. When I worked it was testing video games they had a few disabled people one in a wheelchair and twisted hand.

    I was awarded Unemployment but they never paid me anything and I didn't know I was awarded because I was held hostage and then homeless thus I didn't get any mail.

    To MercyandGrace:
    I did file with SS office also that is different than the EDD office I was just learning. The mental health program signed me up in 2009 and also Episopal Community Services ECS helped me fill out the application. I have had two SSI attorneys that haven't done anything. And I attempted suicide twice somewhere in between. Actually I think it was a side effect of the medication in people 26yrs or younger. Also the medication gave me wandering heart beat muscle spasms aka tardive dyskynesia or restless leg syndrome. I have a hormonal imbalance and that medication helps with my depression better. Birth control are hormones too.

    Which is a felony. If you think you were "held hostage" in a mental facility (which it sounds like you needed desperately), wait until you're "held hostage" in prison.

    Now, since your mother is around and helping you as much as she could, why couldn't you receive mail at her house?

    selling food stamps is only a misdemeanor if you sell more than 500 dollars. I get no where near that amount. Put me in jail it will cost you 65k a yr as opposed to 2,400 dollars 2k. I get less than 2k/yr. Plus I might be in a state hospital that costs more like 185k. Wellcome to the land of the free. I mean hypocrisy. I cannot even give up my citizenship to pursue happiness. Plus its a sex offense to pee on the ground when your homeless. So some homeless people cannot even rent anywhere. I met a few. The are just cash cows sent to vacaville for moolah or bound to the land like slavery CA PC 181 "placement into the custody of another for an exchange of monetary compenstation" Thats what parole is and probation. Its slavery by californias definition of slavery Penal Code 181. And then bound to the land and unable to pay off debt to society or get a job. But the worst part is that theres no internet. Sweep that problem under the rug and censor it.
