| Beth Witten | Posted At 20:45:41 11/13/2002 I'm not sure what you are asking. If you're referring to work at home jobs, you should be wary. I've known people that sent money for an informational packet that was supposed to lead to work. Unfortunately, they learned too late (after paying their good money) that the packet did not lead to work. I'd suggest that you contact an established employment agency. Every state has a vocational rehabilitation provider that works with disabled people. If you can work full-time, you'll be more likely to get benefits. However, if you're not sure if you are physically able to work full-time, you could start off by working part-time through a temporary agency. This will allow you to see if the job and employer are what you want and they can find out that you are a responsible, productive employee. I've heard that Manpower, Olsten, and Kelly have hired people with kidney disease. I've also heard that if you work enough hours (not necessarily full-time) on a regular basis, you can get benefits. |
