Need help with DSS rebudget and exemption for March income change - what docs do I need?

I went through something similar last year. For the rebudget, make sure you have all your income docs for March - paystubs, bank statements, anything that shows the change. For exemptions, it really depends on what you're asking for. What kind of exemption are you looking at?

Ugh, good luck dealing with them. I tried to rebudget last month and it was a nightmare. Took forever to get someone on the phone and then they kept transferring me around. Make sure you have plenty of time and patience when you call!

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when a live agent picks up. It does cost $20, but it worked for me and saved me hours of frustration. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://claimyr.com

Here's what you need to know about rebudgeting and exemptions: 1. Rebudgeting: - Gather all income documents for March (paystubs, bank statements, etc.) - Be prepared to explain why your income changed - Have your case number ready 2. Exemptions: - Determine the specific reason for your exemption request - Collect supporting documentation (medical records, employer letters, etc.) - Be ready to explain how your situation meets exemption criteria 3. General tips: - Call early in the morning for shorter wait times - Take detailed notes during the call - Ask for a reference number for your request - Follow up in writing if possible Remember, patience is key. The process can be frustrating, but stay calm and persistent. Good luck!

anyone else feel like were playing a game of chance everytime we call? like, will I get a helpful person or a total 🤡 today? lmao

Pro tip: if you can, try to do as much as possible online through their portal. Sometimes you can submit rebudget requests there. Might save you a phone call altogether!

idk if this helps but I had to do a rebudget last year cuz I got a new job. they asked for my offer letter and first paystub. the lady I talked to was actually pretty nice about it. dont stress too much, youll be fine!
