Great! The food stamp issue. It's quite possible that he tried to scam them 20 years ago. We'll go to an interview Tuesday and find out. When I know what they're really saying, I will very likely call on you, so many thanks for being available. Elmer's story is that they overpaid him in 1985 and he owes $85, which I would be willing to pay, but only directly to them. On the disability issue, yes, we are trying for SSI. Evidently the people here at the Free Clinic (doctors, etc.) got his paper work started on that. We have an appointment there tomorrow, and again I'll know where to start when I hear their version (I know bureaucracies can totally screw up and also that Elmer can reconstruct reality to his benefit, so I want to know both versions before I start a strategy). I'm glad to know there's a resource like you around. I have some friends in various social services here, but not sure what they know. Thanks.
