I am a republican for the most part, but its hard for me to accept the fact that in my state, because of Trump, ill have to have my EBT taken away unless I work over 30 hours a week. My husbands disabled and I take care of him full time, he cant do much on his own. For us we are going to have a really hard time. We will still make 200 a month because of his disability, but I dont count as a caregiver, and legally I cant because I am his wife..or at least thats what MIBridges told me.

But I also read somewhere that over all the economy is going to be much better because of the changes, and that there will be good benefits. I just wish that with strange cases like mine, more grace would be extended. I cant work and take care of my husband. And the "workers" that the state hands out to the disabled who need help, only stop by a few times a week. They will help with shopping, or cooking, or cleaning/bodily grooming. Not all of the above in one day. We dont have the money to afford help.

Over all im kind of dishearted, but I know God has us covered. We will persevere.

I know Trump isnt perfect, but I know him to be someone who at least has the people at mind, he cares for the USA...I just really wish that things were different sometimes regarding this new EBT thing. I have no idea what we're going to do.
 
Don't react now, we need to see the final result, He cares for you, always has since He knew you when you were first conceived.
We are required to focus on things above, 1st and foremost, NOT from the worms eye view of the carnal and/or unbeliever.
He promised to care for us when we are His, our role is to be His.
best wishes

Carly i just wanted to let you know that many states have a program called PCA (Personal Care Assistant) which pays that person giving care to another person, including family members.

For example the state pays me and my wife for taking care of my mother, who's dealing with cancer and my wife helps her in the bathroom, taking showers, cook for her, laundry and many other things.
I do other things which are involved with transportation, bills, banks and things like that.

Not sure what state you're in but check it out.
According to "AI" it says that it's available in many states.

I'll look into it, thank you. Im pretty sure Michigan doesn't, as we tried to set it up and were declined due to being married or something.

We may have just had a bad expirience.

Yes, definitely try again as it depends who you talk to. Could be a DEI hire, could be a clueless person. Could be many reasons.
But the way the process works in my state is that you call the main office or the local office, who then sets an appointment with you, who then come to your house to assess the conditions of the house and the patient and then they assign a certain amount of hour for you every week.
Then these same folks visit you twice a year to check on the status and make any changes if necessary. They can also help with wheelchairs and things like that which i use when i take my mom to the hospital.

I called and they dont extend these offers to Spouses, however if we had a kid, our kid could be his caregiver...but if we have a kid they'll be like in my belly 😭

I kind of expected this, I hope it changes eventually because the ruels are kind of unfair.

We dont have family that can or will take care of him, all my family are druggies, and his family are far away.

Sorry to hear that. Probably this rule exists in my state too and we're allowed to do this because my relationship is Mother/Son.
I learned all these details on my own too and a friend at the hospital suggested this PCA program to me about 4-5 years ago when my mother was diagnosed with cancer because i didn't even know it existed.

During the process now they even told us that nurses can visit at home, and they do, but another option they mentioned is that they can have a nurse in the house for extended hours ... even at night!
When i was talking to the program coordinator i asked : what do you mean the nurses stay at home even at night?
She said: a nurse can stay overnight if needed depending on your mother's pain level to provide medication or other needs.
I said no to this.
I'm not having some dude/dudette stay over my house. We don't need that. At that point we can send her to a nursing home or palliative care facilities.

So maybe ask again your office what kind of services like that exist in Michigan. Visits at home from nurses to help with anything you think it'd be worth it.

God bless you in your journey. Everyone is dealing with something we know nothing about.
