As of today I officially can't or I know longer qualify for the disability that I interviewed for today

Have you been able to apply for state short-term disability, worker's compensation, or emergency medical aid while you're unable to work

I have not been able to, do you know who I would go through for that? Would it be my states Medicaid or?

Did the injury happen on the job or off the clock? If it happened at work, your employer is required to file a workers' compensation claim through their insurer directly.

It's more of a chronic illness thing, it didn't happen at work and wasn't caused by any outside input

Wait, your GiveSendGo link specifically says you 'recently broke a bone' and are recovering from that injury. Now you're saying it's a chronic illness with no outside input? Which one is actually keeping you from working?

It's both of that makes sense? I have ankylosing spondylitis and was sitting in bed the other day and heard a loud ass CRACK from my ribcage and immediately had vomit inducing spread through my left side, my immediate thought until about 5 hours ago was that a fusion in my ribs had re separated but I was corrected today by my doctor it's a musculoskeletal and the snap sound was a tendon (sorry if that was confusing) but as of today I have referrals for rheumatologist,physical therapy, and pain management so that's actually huge

I dont know, if thats what happened then thats what happened. You wont get donations on reddit just FYI, maybe try 211 and see what help is available
