How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn’t even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we’re going to do.

    If it’s been 4 years since you applied, you may be looking at as much as $48K in back pay.

    I don’t have firsthand experience, but my understanding is that they cut you a check for the accumulated funds since your application date.

      That matches my understanding and the experiences of people I’ve seen be successful with legal representation.

      I also understand that both success and odds of back pay are greatly enhanced by having representation (Who takes a cut, you don’t pay up front generally)
