Hi ..do you know what the program is called for financial help..I just missed another week of work..I had to have my central air conditioner replaced at almost six thousand dollars so now I have that debt, also I work part time and do not have short or long term disability, do not qualify for FMLA , because I do not have enough hours. I just used all of my sick time as I was hospitalized , as the long covid has triggered ulcerative colitis..any suggestions or advice would be so appreciated..Thanks kitty2

Sorry to hear of your financial hardship. I can relate. I don't know the specific name of the program but it's the only one if it's kind. The program I mentioned is a Federal COVID relief program that each State administers. It's individually administered by the County in the Social Services and Assistance type of Department. It's only for people who were working when they contacted the virus, who can't work bc of the virus and - key criteria- they have a job to return to. That's all I know. But that should be enough for you to make a phone call to your county and connect with it. The program covers housing and utility costs for a time. It's easy to apply for once you connect with the case worker. Let us know how it goes for you.
