I'm working at this place and they want to know if I want to join them PT for 20 hours a week. It's the first time I would qualify for benefits since being diagnosed and I'm trying to figure out the cost or if I could stay on medical assistance since it is covering all the meds and tests and appointments. Attached is an image of the benefits and I haven't responded yet. What do you see when you look at the options? Appreciate your advice.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , You could call & talk to your Social Security office. Are you on disability? I was approved for disability in 2022 & get Insurance through that. When on disability I think there’s a certain number of hours we’re allowed to work. So you might ask about that. You don’t want to take on this job & then something happen & you not be there anymore & you have to start all over with getting your benefits. So only you know what you exactly have. So speaking to a Social Worker would be best & they could give you some advice. Good luck. Take care. Your friend in Texas, Becky
That's a big decision, and it's great that you're thinking it through carefully before responding! Unfortunately, no image came through, so the benefits details aren't visible here. But here's what to look for when evaluating benefits with epilepsy in mind:

The number of hours you needed to get Benefits at Sears was 30. InsteSoad everyone worked fewer. I had patience and was a good Telemarketer. I worked an extra half hour for 4 days, then 3 hours on a Saturday, when you spoke to people rather than answering machines. So I worked 30 hours and did get Benefits. I worked for 7 years, so they gave me a 3 week vacation. After all the Telemarketing jobs ended because of the Do Not Call List, my Neurologist had me to a full Nerological workup. He learned my memory was very poor, and when given a task I did not carry it out consistently.
They decided since my Learning Disability was significant, would be eligible for Social
Security Diability, then Medicare a year later
It all depends on what you’re looking for if you need insurance coverage, I would look for that some companies pay are offer. I should say both insurance for part-time as well as full-time. However, I don’t know what you’re on now unless you’re in the process of trying to collect or receive disability
