As for my after I graduated from college, I signed up to get (The Ticket to Work). It's a program of the SS witch allows you to work and still receive you Medicaid benefits. I'm on SSI, It feels so good to be working and being a tax paider. Me boss sometimes have to remind me to pick up my pay check. I'm so use to working for free.LOL!!
