    Question about SSI

    yeah i dont think that they are allowed to deny on first go around due to economy. it may just be a matter of tighting up in funding and people who ,case by case, are in more of an immediate need first. im not sure but if you get denied i know that you can appeal. if u have been denied you might...

    Is it Offensive to Talk while among a Deaf crowd?

    amen!!!! i agree 100 percent. plus that any form of communication that is on public property is ok because its public property. now if a deaf/hoh person goes to a private meeting where talking or cued is not allowed then they should follow the rules of where they are at at the moment.
