I was laid off from my job in April. I’ve been using GoodRx for my prescriptions. I bought the premium pkg ($9.99) because it reduced an expensive medication significantly by being a member. I used the free version for many years as well, and it was very helpful. There is an app, but I’m sure you can search the internet for the online version. All you need to do is enter your zip code, add your medications, dose, and how often you take it, and it’ll find participating pharmacies and how much they will discount your meds.

Hello Dr Ed. Can you please tell me what is the correct answer for SSDI and SSI? On your program the other day, a lady asked about SSDI benefits for her high functioning autistic adult child, who graduated college but has not found a job. You responded that he is not eligible for SSDI bc he didn’t contribute to SS. I believe you suggested he apply for SSI? Here’s where I need clarification. When I spoke to SSA about my 26yo with the same disability, the agent told me my daughter will not qualify for SSI if she has investment funds or money in a bank account. However, when her father takes SS, she will be eligible for benefits on his record. Can you please verify this information is true or false? Ty!

Yes, I was watching. Ty! The 1st part of the answer from SS is correct. ✅ The 2nd part of the question wasn’t verified. Is it correct that she can apply for benefits on her father’s SS after he files, regardless of the money she has in her bank or investments we have for her? The reason i wanted to hear your answer is bc I’m fairly new here, and I’m out of the loop on SSI…until I listened to your podcast. Is it common knowledge that if you want SSI, you cannot have more than $2000 to your name? .My daughter works part-time at Kroger bagging and bringing in carts. There is no way in hell she could survive on just her wages if she didn’t live with me! Do ppl really need to be destitute before they can get SSI? These programs are a ‘safety net’, a hand up, as they say. but we are witnessing what a cookoo bird in the WH can do to this net. it’s not just these kids I’m concerned about, but all ppl with disabilities that are already at a disadvantage.

🙋 Your State Needs a Lead — Is It You? (Only 1 Hour a Week)
We've built benefits guides and action guides for all 50 states. Now we need one friendly person per state to help their neighbors use them. You don't need to be an expert. The guides do the heavy lifting — you just bring the heart. ❤️ Here's the whole job: 🌱 YOUR FIRST WEEK ✅ Say yes — comment "I'm in for [your state]" below ✅ Skim your state's two guides (about 20 minutes) ✅ Post a short hello: who you are and why these programs matter to you 📅 EVERY WEEK (30–60 minutes) ✅ Welcome new members from your state ✅ Share one tip from your state's guide ✅ Do the 2-Minute Action — one phone call, script provided ✅ Cheer every "Post Your Win" from your state 🗓️ ONCE A MONTH ✅ Host a Call Day — invite your state to call their senators together ✅ Drop a printed guide at one senior center, library, VFW post, or church ✅ Post what your state accomplished this month ⭐ THE GOLDEN RULES We protect programs, not parties — always nonpartisan. Never give legal or financial advice — point people to the official numbers in the guides. Be kind, be patient, and celebrate every win. 🎉 📎 Printable one-pager attached — stick it on the fridge or hand it out. 👇 Ready? Comment "I'm in for [your state]" right now.

Will do. There are so many ppl who know more than I do about this. I will gladly let them take the lead, and I'll assist. For now, I'm happy to follow the to-do list until others jump in.

Hello Dr Ed. In your response to my question about at what age to file, you attached a link for your video in the classroom. The video is locked and won’t allow me access. Please advise.
