OBJECTIVE
|
To find quality, part-time employment to supplement my
Social Security Disability Income. The pay rate must be
below what the Social Security Administration considers
"substantial" (
http://socialsecurity.gov/dibplan/dwork2.htm
).
Full-time work is also being considered through Social
Security's "Ticket to Work" program (
http://socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10061.html
).
Although I have been diagnosed (1995) with Parkinson's Disease,
I believe that I still have skills that would be valuable
to an employer.
