    Facts: In February 2001, Speelman moved into a BHA subsidized apartment with her two minor children. The following month Speelman’s probation was revoked, and she was sentenced to 75 days in jail. BHA was aware Speelman was on probation. She then arranged for her 19 year old daughter, Audrey Larson, to care for her children at her apartment. BHA was not notified Speelman had been incarcerated or of the new occupant in the residence. Office Lowell English, BHA’s police liason, was responding to a complaint about Speelman’s children running around the apartment complex at night. After his visit, officer English found Speelman was incarcerated. On June 2, BHA sent a notice stating Speelman’s voucher payments will be terminated as of July 31st. The letter also states Speelman has the right to appeal the decision by writing a request for a hearing within 14 days. Even though Larson had access to Speelman’s mail, she was specifically instructed only to open mail from the children’s school. Speelman returned to her apartment on June 17th to find the termination letter, and sent a request for a hearing on June 23rd, which is seven days after the deadline. BHA denied the request stating her response was untimely, and she lost her funds.…

    At this time, a full overview of this case was given. Which is as follows: I explained the client is in Star plus waiver, a 30 day letter was issued from ASH on 1/6/17 and an MDU slot was requested on 1/6/17 and then again on 1/12/17 as I did not get a returned email that Cindy Pollan had already retired. Nor did I get a returned phone call from her voicemail, which was still active. After speaking with other DADS/HHSC contacts, I got your information and we spoke on 1/25/17. This was the date his slot was released. I spoke to the parents and they selected a provider on 1/31/17. Thus me reaching out to Stacy on 2/1/17. At the time, I explained that ASH did not want to hold the client until 3/1/17 due to no longer meeting medical necessity and why they issued the 30 day letter. This caused an issue, the client cannot return home, ASH needs to dischrge, yet he cannot enroll until 3/1/17 because of the Star plus waiver. I called seeking guidance on if the waiting until the 1st of the month was an HHSC rule that could be reviewed and changed for this special case or was the rule from Medicaid.…

    I have had to spend countless hours in welfare office waiting rooms with my disabled mother while she is applying or recertifying her benefits information. I have had seen people teaching each other how to defraud the system. Looking at each other’s forms to ensure they have added or left out the appropriate information in order to receive benefits they are not entitled to or get more benefits than they should be getting. I have watched while they go up and get new forms and the old timers instruct the new people on just what to say and what not to say on the forms to get most benefits. Some shouldn’t have even been there and certainly shouldn’t have been receiving benefits. I sit there and say to myself or my mom it’s no wonder there isn’t enough to go around when these people shouldn’t be getting help at all. I have seen these fraudsters tell each other where to go to free food, rent, energy assistance, clothing, and even money for gas. They call it making the rounds as each social assistance program has a time frame for coming back and getting help. If you truly need the help there is nothing wrong with other help you get what you need but when it is used to not work or get…

    Dealing with social services and being a part of the welfare programs is not a fun time. Acquiring benefits usually consists of long wait times, a lot of paperwork and rude or irritated social workers. While receiving benefits it is a requirement that you re-certify about every 3 to 6 months. That means resubmitting all paperwork and information again, with or without changes. If your paperwork does not arrive on time to the social services office, our benefits can be cancelled. All of these components of being on welfare become extremely frustrating, especially for the people already dealing with the stress of no money, no food, no medical benefits and no job, and make it hard enough for people for people to receive assistance without the added drug testing which many lawmakers are now trying to enforce.…

    I come from a world where the only thing that is constant, is change. Changing states, changing houses, and changing schools. Unlike most other kids, I don't have a childhood home where I made countless memories, in fact, my earliest memories as a child all consist of cardboard moving boxes, along with unimaginably long car rides to foreign places. I don’t have a door marked to show how I've grown over the years, and I don't have a bedroom wall thick with paint covering over colors I chose as a child. Truthfully, often times when I was younger, and would see someone with these things, I was tempted to be envious and couldn't help but to think how lucky they were to have such stability. As a result of this, I spent a large portion of my childhood…

    Throughout this course, and through my own personal experiences as well, I have come to understand that there are incredible nuances and difficulties when it comes to navigating the world of public assistance. While, in its essence, it’s a service designed to make the lives and experiences of the less fortunate much easier, it often creates nearly as many issues as it strives to solve. Understanding the difficulties that arise is crucial to a career in this field, and I sought out a firsthand experience in order to gain more appreciation for this struggle by filling out an application for government benefits. In the following paper, I seek to discuss my feelings and thoughts about filling out this application and the subsequent implications, as well as consider the challenges that those in need of benefits may face, and how social workers could use this information to improve the process for all who need it.…
