I am in the processs of starting a documentary based on the so called direct express nightmare. I am a advocate for people who request help from me to help them fill out paperwork, to guide them through the system while these defenseless people attend chemotherapy. physical therapies because they have to learn how to walk and talk over again. parents of mentally disabled children (which I am also a father to 2 beautiful boys who are autistic) that basically cry out for help. but unfortunately these people are humiliated, talked down to, and have whatever hope they have left, torn to shreds by someone who doesnt realize that we the tax paying citizens pay their bills and put food on these bastard's tables. I created a group of like minded advocates who have joined me to continue to assist people as usual. The only difference will be is that we will be recording those calls over a period of six months. we will be asking to speak to managers ofcoarse. and stack up atual complaints about the employees they 9the managers) are suppose to manage. i also will be adding a face with a touch of detail of the worst employees and the stacks of complaints they have received also during those six months. I pledge to the humiliated to the hopeless and self sacrificing folks who only want help for themselves or their loved ones. I promiss you this, their foundations will turn to stand. God Bless

I LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY QUESTION!!!! regarding comment just posted March 16 at 5:39...Sue Robideau...advance while waiting RSDI.....IF i'm approved for the advance, can the money be applied to my Direct Express Prepaid Debit card?

I've been trying to an answer to a question for over 2 weeks now - I'm happy I found this site!....I want to put my search efforts into action, or I want to put it to rest!.....my question(s) is this: will RSDI, retirement social security disability, allow me to apply to a lender for emergency cash advance while waiting the 5 month waiting period that social security enforces before recepiants get their first payment..........If they do allow it, do you know of a lender that will do this - Small loan (advance) amount of 300-500 dollars....thank u in advance.

I have a bank account but want to change to the card

Because SS takes your entire check amount BACK if you die during the month you received the check, which I feel is terribly unfair on the family who depends on that amount to survive! Can a person be held liable for the payment if the money is already spent from the card?
