It would be illegal for the carrier/employer to pay TTD beyond the statute of limitations. until the law is changed there is no way you can continue to receive work comp TTD payments and there is little a public message board can do to change the law.

you can receive help for medical & temporary aid until you find a job.

if you are a union member you can often get emergency aid from them.

for medical help try here

contact your church for some help and resources for food and shelter.

apply for unemployment and food stamps.

you can appeal your SS denial.

most state, counties, and local jurisdictions have a number of public assistance centers and agencies that can provide temporary help.

there are a tremendous number of aid organizations but you have to seek them out -- they won't come to you:
