Whether laid off or fired, you can file unemployment. And being diabetic, you can go to some Department of Assistive Rehabilitation. What they do is because you are diabetic, it’s considered a disability. To prevent you from going on SSI or SSA, they give some training for you to get another job in a different field or same field…it’s up to you. They also give grants for you to go to college for a different field.
I hope this helps, and do get emergency food stamps. If your under 21, you can get medicaid. Or not you can get temporary medicaid for 1 - 3 months. Go to a state agency and file discrimination suit against the company you worked for if it was because of your diabetes. If you were discriminated, they could pay out of court so not to make it a costy situation should they lose.
Take this time to do all that you can do on all resources so that you can get on your feet. Also, the county can help on a one time voucher for food, pay for your rent…you have to go the day after your rent is due. Even help on electricity.
Meds, they can help too. I hope you have resources to keep your meds going, especially during this difficult time.
When doing all this, write you out a schedule and a timeline with deadlines to get all that you need to do. Don’t rush too much in one day, don’t want your bs to go crazy.
And, as time allows…let us know how you are doing and what steps you took so that someone else whose going thru the same thing can know that they can make it too. I know it’s hard to keep positive, that’s why we are here to keep you motivated. Know you would do the same for us. Family, Patti
