*Do you think it%26#039;s more important work 2 jobs to pay off my student loans, or...?

Work 1 part-time job %26amp; keep my medical benefits (Medicare %26amp; Medicaid)? I%26#039;m disabled with a college degree, %26amp; I%26#039;ve been looking for a job for months to try to pay off my student loans %26amp; haven%26#039;t found anything yet. My 6-month grace period is up. I need to gain some work experience %26amp; work my way towards self-sufficiency. I%26#039;m very freaked out, scared, %26amp; worried about going into default %26amp; my disability income being garnished. I REALLY DO want to pay the loans %26amp; debts that I owe. Every time I talk about getting a job, people tell me, %26quot;Well you don%26#039;t wanna lose your health insurance benefits.%26quot; I%26#039;m barely making a living off of my disability checks. $657/month, %26amp; my rent is 1/2 that much. %26amp; I also have other necessary monthly expenses. All of this causes me to be broke by the 3rd of the month. I wish I could work. But I%26#039;m too mentally disabled to work. This is a tough choice to make. I suffer OCD, anxiety, depression, %26amp; Tourette%26#039;s. I can%26#039;t focus or concentrate well on the job. What do I do?

I%26#039;m currently UNEMPLOYED, no one wants to hire me because of disability discrimination since they see my tics. Also, I don%26#039;t function well around people. I do better living alone. My family is very unsupportive, so I%26#039;m on my own.

Have you considered talking to the student loan companies and requested a deferment or forebarance on payments since you are disabled and unemployed? They do offer it in certain circumstances. You might want to consider working for the federal, state, or local governments since they have a program to hire disabled workers. Government workers get great benefits compared to private employers. Also, there is a program for goverment workers to get their student loans forgiven. You will need to talk to the Office or Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in your area to get the necessary paperwork for qualifying for the disabled employee applications to qualify. Good luck!

Your student loans can be put into forebearance for alot longer than you think. Especially with a disability. Communication with Sallie Mae is your best bet. If you are unemployed than you can get your loans defered for 2-3 years. I have a friend who has loans out and has been defered for the past 10 years, legally. If you are disabled than they can%26#039;t take your medicaid away. Don%26#039;t worry about that. Concentrate on defering those loans. Call them up and tell them your circumstances. Communication is the best tool.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Concerning your student loans, you can consolidate them now, and place the new loan into deferment. You don%26#039;t have to be employed to consolidate federal student loans and you get a fixed rate - I%26#039;d suggest FedDirect. Go to federal-direct.com. Good Luck!

If you received financial assistance for your education through Vocational Rehab (or even if you didn%26#039;t) I think you should contact your local office and get connected with the services they have to get you employed as soon as possible. This is what they do for a living. Virtually everyone is employable, it%26#039;s just finding the right fit.

Also that was said before, you need to contact your lender and tell them your situation, they can either reduce your payments to interest only.... or defer them for a specific amount of time. Better this than let them go into default.

I%26#039;m not sure what the whole %26quot;....important to work 2 jobs to pay off my....%26quot; part of the question is, since you can%26#039;t seem to find one. But whatever.
