My company has given me a medical leave. I was due back but my Doctor extend my leave. He said I was to unstable to return back to work. The gal in the office said I would be okay to return.
But financially I need to return, but health wise I can not.
I am already on disability. I am 52 and this isn't the first time I have lost out on a good paying job due to my health.
If I am not able to work can I apply for Medicade. What else can I do for extra income while one medical leave.

If you live in California, you might be able to get state disability benefits. Also, if you are declared totally and permanently disabled, you can receive social security disability insurance. Does your company have short term or long term disabiltity insurance? That could work too.

If you don't recieve medical benefits (sick pay) from your employer then by all means apply for medicaid.......Do you recieve monthly disability checks???? I realize that this may not be enough to survive, so have you considered babysitting???? Take care honey, it'll get better...........
