If the doc has determined your disabled, then you qualify for services. Vocational rehab (state services) can work with your employer to provide accomadations. You can slap the whole ADA thing down on them.
You can collect umeployment but that's only short term, right?
SSDI takes a few months to process so if your empoyer does let you go .. then unemployment would be a good stop gap.
How about short term disablity benefits? You can exhuast those before while waiting for SSDI.
Be assured, you won't be homeless. It might be really tight for awhile waiting for the government to get moving-- but there are programs to help ya out in times like this.
I know we couldn't afford to live here on hubby's disability payments- rent would suck up a big chunk of it.

Hope things are better for you in your location.
Bright star in all this... you can get med-cal if you're disabled.

Something everyone should get for free anyway IMO

I'm kinda peeved with the whole Bush veto on the SCHIP bill. Gimme federally finded medical care-- it's way better than the private sector.. or so we are finding- grrrrr. grrrr. grrrrr... now I'm a little bulldog wanting to nip the heels of the republicans ... grrrrrrrr
Hang in there
