AssP, what I would do if you don't have an address for them to send a new debit card is go to a church and explain the situation to a pastor or priest. See if they will let the SS office send the card there.

....I have received notices of an initial lein and the cancellation of my insurance on the torage unit ~ Eventually this would lead to me losing my property there . Perhaps those who feel I should have nothing will be " all right!! ! " . It's that NYS lawyer not sending, all of a sudden, any money to me. . I am wondering if he might, perhaps, be in cahoots with my sh***y cousins, say ~ who would inherit that money from my mother's estate if I was gone as her next blood relatives .

What happened to your SSDI money?

...Maybe I didn't totally spell this out ~ I lost the card to access it, I did send in for a replacement, but, after telling me that the card would reach me " in 10 business days " two weeks ago or so, naming this date ~ Then, when it did not come today, they said it " had just been mailed five days ago " or so, though they said so that earlier time .
Meanwhile, that NYS lawyer has, unreasonably ~ Or if he's stealing - completely cut me off.
My bank account ~ my storage ~ my debit card ~ those pain ediblles - more.

...The library will be closed tomorrow (Thanksgiving) and Friday and I don't now know that there will be any other recharging sources those two days.
There will be a charity Thanksgiving day tomorrow. I did 't get that plate last?? night I wrote about. It rained be t
this/last night. I slept under a stores light-warmed entrance. Maybe can do that tonight, but after that? Maybe I'll get arrested - jail's dry -. but If U"m arrested and let go, all my stuff will be confiscated and in a cross-town police storage only open a few days.
I filled out the Section 8 application (a form if low-income housing but even if you get it it's hard to find a landlord that will take it)otterg - U mentioned, truthfully, needing two kinds of handicapped-ness email. Would that help me get something that a non-handicapped person wouldn't get?
I sent nzfy letter to the NYS lawyer, accusing him if theft. What can he do? Cut me off some more?

...I went to the Thanksgiving dinner, that night, briefly, I went to the ER again, got treated but wasn't admitted, had direct medical reasons and more.
I did find out that the Winter Shelter was open, got a place, am there now, it is okay now but I am not sure how it will work out - I am out of the rain, though .
Overnight before last, Wed-Thurs, something bad happened that could have been a lot worse.
I was in a sleeping position, flat on the ground in a protected entrance way to a store, wrapped up and eyemaek on. Someone came in, said " I want to help you ", reached for me to get up but I resisted. He said he wanted me to be look at him, touched me more, putting his foot on my chest, maybe my side. I screamed loud, repeatedly, "HELP! HELO! " . Eventually someone cemame to see, got him away from me told him to go away, he eventually did. The rrscuer called the toucher a (would-be) rapist . I had just thought he wanted to mug)hit me. To Make this 100% clear, nothing happened.

That wasn’t a smart thing to do: write the lawyer like that.

But what’s done is done.

At least you’re in a shelter.

...I wrote again and again to the lawyer, pointing out my situation & the bank account, the pain meds, the storage and the stuff in it - he would do nothing. What was I suppose d to? Say " Pweety pweaze with sugar on it "? More later.

Does that apply to NY only? OP is in California.

Just don’t write him at all.

Or just continue to request some of the money.

...Thank you, Thiughtbeast. It's most likely, I guess (Any repeats, eex excooz.) that he feels he's being " a stern uncle, doing it for my own good". However:
When I went up to Patterson. & found it to be NG, I wrote him about it. I HAD gone up there thinking it would be " for keeps " . IIRC, he did not write back. I will not digress about Patterson now. I guess he was again st me leaving. He did not say anything. Perhaps he was - he's a lawyer, after all - in a " don't put it in writing " mood.
I got back to SC, I depleted, briefly, the money I had left in the credit union down there, as he said nothing, and as getting a replacement SSDI card - which I had put into motion before leaving for Patterson - dragged along, I depleted the money in the credit union, the last I checked it was down to the minimum keep-it-open five dollars.
Most of all, there is now:
(1) Keeping the bank account open
(2) The pain pills - at the pit store I'm registered at as a medical-oruented buyer, it's a loonng bus ride away, I tend towards little/no get you high stuff, never in smokeable form, you have to pay cash only at pot stores.
(3) My things in storage. The missed pay.ent was long ago enough - a late fee has been added on my missed payment, the insurance that goes with it has been cancelled, and an " initial "?? lein has been placed on it.
This would start the process that would, unchecked, lead me to lose everything there. He doesn't care. Perhaps he's in a " punish me " mood .
He robotically repeats " have your social worker contact me, get - discount?? (not the word used) - housing ". The SWs - who are HOSPITAL social workers, I can't really contact while out of l'hopital, and even when, I'm there it's one day I speak to one, the next day another, now - do speak to him, but he says the same thing over and over again - He has formed the Impression that the SWs have offered me housing - THEY CERTAINLY HAVE NOT ! - and, though I've detailed the bank/pills/storage situation over & over again , he will do nothing! It will take more cash outlay now to fix the situation than it would have before it got into this mess . I said, repeatedly, to him that the spending this summer could not continue, definitely, but this is not cutting down - especially since it came with no warning of " I'm not sending any more after this " ! This is rendering me UNABLE to be able to look for more permanent housing !
I said to him perhaps it's spite on his part, and what my mother's family might call " throwing a hissy " - and, yes, said I wondered IF it COULD be that, say:
A - He wanted my paltry money to pay his Nineteenth Hole bar bill at the golf club
2 - Tip money to the waitresses at the casinos in Atlantic City, to appear like a sport
3 - In cahoots with my sh***y cousins, to get the money (which is not mine to pass on, should I be gone, the cousins, the next closest blood relatives of my mother, get it)
4 - Perhaps in collaboration with that f*****g owner of the Patterson place, he of the $140 trip back to SC and the $25 loc shopping trip - I don't think I said " kickback "
None of this was absolutely saying he did these, I said possibility - I also said that even just sitting on it was theft! He can''t sue me for saying this . I wanted to stick some dynamite up his ass! Again, I had written him more nicely about this before OVER AND OVER AGAIN! o ER these past weeks! Frequently, there was no response.

That's the most self-destructive act I've ever heard of.

...Why? Do you think, " Oh, if you write him one more REALLY super-dee-doo-duper (There should be a Barney graphic here!! !! !! !), he will see reason" ? I'm afraid not .
Maybe I didn't emphasize enough HOW MANY letters I have written to him !
Now, switching to the shelter ~ It is ironic that, thoughI am out of the rain ~ I may get less sleep than I could get on a good night sleeping outside with the sleeping bag! I meant to write lots more, but am occupied with " more fun " posting. Later.

You’ve mentioned a few times that the money the lawyer controls is not yours to bequeath to anyone you want - that when you die what’s left may go to your cousins. You also mentioned that your mother set up this fund for your disabled brothers care - I assume room, food, clothing, medical care etc. You said the cheques that the lawyer sent for your motel costs were written from the (a term you couldn’t remember) of your mother. Im guessing that the money is in some sort of trust that can only be used for specific things, like the expenses covered for your brother. So the lawyer might not be legally allowed to send you money that will be spent for storage fees or drugs. (Marijuana is still not legal federally and I don’t think it’s legal in NYS.) I would guess that he explained that at the start but that was months and months ago and may not have been clear. That’s probably why he keeps mentioning social workers and housing. The money might be available for that rather than splurges. You may have to use your SSDI for your exceptional costs and the estate money for housing. I would apologize to the lawyer rather than defame him.

...AO, IIRC, most if not all of the motel fees - All at the main.one, after the first week? - were paid directly by the NYS lawyer. The checks I received mostly didn't go for that.
No, he never ever said anything about what money in my hands could be spent on, or what it could be spent on if it came from his hands. Ever. Wouldn't he have said so, were that the case?
I have never said to him that the edibles were pot-based and he never asked. Granted, he might have guessed. The storage unit includes clothes, which I think I have mentioned before. The hospital SWs absolutely never ever mentioned any suggestions subsidized (I think that was the term I was grasping for before) housing*. I don't know if one SW in particular said things that mislead him.
