  1. Men seem to think their height indicates their freenis length, and we all know 12 inches is normal in SL...
  2. The link I provided before explains the payment methods. He might have a waiver, in which case a postal employee riding a donkey might deliver a real check. But how to cash the check, a check cashing service that charges an extra fee, or a local Walmart? There is a lack of useful information other than nothing works, from the OP. From the SSA govt. site: Federal law mandates that all Federal benefit payments – including Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits – must be made electronically. There are two ways you can receive your benefits: Into an existing bank account via Direct Deposit or Onto a Direct Express® Debit Mastercard® Direct Deposit is the best electronic payment option for you because it is: Safe – Since your money goes directly into the bank in the form of an electronic transfer, there's no risk of a check being lost or stolen. Quick – It's easy to receive your benefit by Direct Deposit. You can sign up online at Go Direct®, by calling 1-800-333-1795, in person at your bank, savings and loan or credit union, or calling Social Security. Then, just relax. Your benefit will go automatically into your account every month. And you'll have more time to do the things you enjoy! Convenient – With Direct Deposit, you no longer have to stand in line to cash your check when it arrives. Your money goes directly into your account. You don't have to leave your house in bad weather or worry if you're on vacation or away from home. You don't have to pay any fees to cash your checks. Your money is in your account ready to use when business opens the day you receive your check. If you are applying for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income benefits, you must elect to receive your benefit payment electronically when you enroll. If you currently receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income benefits by check, you must switch to an electronic payment option listed above. To learn more about how to easily switch from a paper check to an electronic payment option, visit Treasury’s Go Direct website or call the Treasury’s Electronic Payment Solution Center at 1-800-333-1795. You can also create a my Social Security account and start or change Direct Deposit online. In extremely rare circumstances, Treasury may grant exceptions to the electronic payment mandate. For more information or to request a waiver, call Treasury at 855-290-1545. You may also print and fill out a waiver form and return it to the address on the form. If you have any questions, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
  3. I am just quoting from the SSA SSI site, which is correct. If you have no other income and you are NOT paying your fair share for the household, then they reduce the SSI to compensate for that. Your fair share was as stated above - pay that and you get the full $841 allowed, and they assume you are paying what you claim. If you don't actually pay that amount for household expenses, then who does? Maybe there is a power of attorney taking care of it for you. In any case, you have no excuse for not opening a checking account with an online bank.
  4. Yes, from what the OP said, living with parents - he should have extra income, assuming he is only paying his fair share of household expenses, that is if his parents are not overcharging him. And he needs no income or cash at all to open a bank account, and the bank would love to get his direct deposit every month. SSA gives this example, and as you can see, you are left with extra money each month for other personal expenses of $841 - 400 = $441/ mo in this example. Not much but more than some just getting by. I wish I had a $441 surplus every month to spend on myself. No mention of the stimulus money either... EXAMPLE 😄 If you live in another person’s household and share expenses. Suppose you live with your brother, and 2 uncles in a home that your brother is buying and your only income is SSI. There are 4 people in the household. The mortgage payment is $700. The average monthly bills are $200 for electricity, $100 for water and sewer, and $600 for food. The total monthly expenses are $1600. Because there are 4 people in the household, your share of the expenses is $400 per month. If you pay your full share of $400 for the household expenses there would be no reduction of your benefit and you would get the full $841 in your SSI check. If you pay less than $400, then you would be receiving in-kind support and maintenance. We would apply the one-third reduction rule and the $841 would be reduced by $280.33, so your SSI benefit would be $560.67. (Even with more inflation adjusted numbers of $1500 rent/mortgage, and 3 people in the household, his fair share would be $600/mo. That still leaves $241/mo for other personal expenses.)
  5. What amount you get depends on your living arrangements, rent, etc - and generally is between $500 and the $841/mo for one individual. Some states also add additional cash benefits. But you must get paid electronically. Your monthly SSI is sent to you through direct deposit to your bank checking account, or with a Direct Express® Debit Mastercard®. You could easily change to a bank direct deposit of your monthly SSI which would solve all your ID and Pay Pal problems. Getting cash from a Direct Express debit card, which is the only other way you could get your SSI, leaves you with no traceable records. You can get a bank debit card with direct deposit and do the same thing, and have bank records. The amount you get does leave you extra cash to spend. Even if you are in a Nursing Home and all your expenses are paid directly to the home, you get $30 extra/month for personal use. https://www.ssa.gov/deposit/#:~:text=There are two ways you,Express® Debit Mastercard® "Electronic payments As required by law, when you applied for SSI, you should’ve signed up to receive your payments electronically. Direct deposit is a simple, safe, and secure way to receive your benefits. Sign up for direct deposit by contacting your bank for help, or by contacting us. Another option is the Direct Express® card program. With Direct Express® , deposits from federal payments are made directly to the card account. Signing up for the card is quick and easy. Call the toll-free Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Contact Center at 1-800-333-1795. Or, sign up online at www.GoDirect.org.
  6. Free checking, no minimum balance, no opening fee, free debit card etc here: https://www.53.com/content/fifth-third/en/personal-banking/bank/checking-accounts/momentum-checking.html If you arrange direct deposit of your SSI to that account, then you can also get a $375 opening account cash bonus (see offer) by depositing at least $500 within 90 days. https://www.53.com/content/fifth-third/en/mkg/checking-offer.html Your SSI should be much more than that amount. With that account you could try to use the debit card with Tilia, or use your new bank account to open a pay pal account in your name and verify the account with your bank. How do you receive your disability income? That in itself could be adequate ID for Tilia. As long as you have internet service, there is no reason to use a local bank. Somewhere along the line you are not getting the advice you need given your needs. If you are not receiving state and federal assistance for your disability, why not? How are you earning that cash money that you use to pay your bills?
  7. I forgot to list Your Avatar (corrected now) in my post. I guess LL doesn't want a potential member to see how confusing and expensive making an Avatar can be.
  8. There are more than one type of "Debit Card". Generally the ones that work with SL are issued by major national or regional banks, and they have either the MasterCard or VISA symbol on them. These "debit" cards can also be used to debit with a bank's VISA or MasterCard affiliation for purchases online or a brick store, which can give you extra protection, but cost a merchant more in processing fees. They are usually issued as part of your Bank's checking account features, or a money market or brokerage account. Banks can also issue a debit card for only using funds from your checking/savings accounts, with no credit card symbols. They are for people with no financial history, generally considered higher risk. These are more like the cash cards at Seven-11, and usually are not acceptable by LL. Everything in between these two extremes can be problematic.
  9. People Forums: Your Avatar, Make Friends, Lifestyles and Relationships, Role Play, and General Discussion Forum all need you to be logged in before you can read or see any posts. Same with the Adult Content Forum, which has always been the case. No idea if this is a new thing for the People Forums.
  10. Yes, you need BOTH PayPal verification, and Tilia ID verification. Them's the rules. Complain to your US Congressmen who made them if you don't like them. Everything you have asked is explained in the Tilia FAQ I added above. My bank, credit card company, or PayPal has already verified my identity. Why do I need to verify again with Tilia? As a money services business, Tilia is required to comply with the various state and federal laws regarding money transmission, which require us to collect and verify this information regardless of whether you have provided this information to other financial institutions, such as your credit card company or PayPal.
  11. Log into your account on the SL web. The go to https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/home If you submitted a ticket, you can find it using the orange buttons on the top, and once you find your ticket and their answers, you can reply with additional information.
  12. If you have an open ticket, you can reply to the ticket and add attachments. If they really want a hard paper copy in color, not something you printed out or a file, then I guess it's snail mail. But you can not do a balance transfer with paypal unless paypal knows your SSN and you have a bank account verified with paypal. Or, use a credit card issued by a bank where you have an account. With your SSN they can verify your name, address, and age.
  13. Do you have Payment Info On File with paypal? It must be a verified paypal account, or are you added onto someone else's pp account that is already verified? And why not give them your SSN number? Everyone else already has it through credit bureaus - the bar to obtain that information is very low. Have you tried speaking to SL Tillia support? They might have other possible ways to confirm your address. Another way to do balance transfers is to get a trusted family member sign up for SL and go thru the PIOF and balance transter process. Then send your Lindens to them to cash out. They might want a DNA sample from you and your parents to confirm that though - This ID crap is getting ridiculous - I assume you are not making millions of dollars in SL.
  14. You live in the USA? I think all states will issue you a photo ID card if you don't have a drivers license. How did you get your paypal verified if you don't have a bank account or credit card? Motor vehicle registration is only if you own the car, so that sounds more like a drivers license, and the DMV also issues ID cards. They need your original birth certificate or certified copy and proof of your residence, since they trust no one anymore.
  15. Blackheads, pimples, and boils? Maybe I should stay out of this thread...
  16. You are in luck! SL did this for you over 16 years ago. And none of this clothing can be derendered!
  17. This is a Ruth body below - I hope there is nobody that cannot tell the difference... You might like to not confuse newbies by pointing out that the Ruth2 body is 100% mesh, first released in 2016, and bears no resemblance to the original SL default Ruth avatar below. I wonder if the early SL developers had ever even seen a female body? Ruth2 latest info: https://github.com/RuthAndRoth/Ruth2/wiki/User-Guide
  18. My alt uses a Ruth2 body by Sweets. Cost with attachments for nails is about 6 $L. Fully BOM and Bento of course, no Alpha section HUD needed, and most Maitreya sizes fit her. I don't view her body as "ugly as sin", but each to his own I guess... Why pay 5K for sweat w/ materials? Sweaty bodies remind me to shower.
  19. Anyone that organizes, deletes, and packs their inventory "elements" has too much time on their hands. A prior partner had an inventory of 260,000 after 14 years, mostly duplicates of clothing folders, and a flatter Main folder than a pancake. It would take her 2 minutes to log on. Her solution was to switch to another alt that only had 5K inventory. In a year that inventory was 80K and growing. I estimated it would take me 6 months of 8 hour days/ 7 days a week doing nothing else, to fix it, and there was always something more interesting than sorting inventory in SL to do. I am getting behind in my own now too, up to 82K in 12 years. If I ever clean up the junk from the SLB** gifts and hunts, I can get it back to 50K, where it was for my first 10 years.
  20. You could try analysis. The censors must have dirty minds. *****-retentive is a medical term used in psychology.
  21. You need to toss the stuff you no longer use, because you have no walking space left. Your door won't open because it's blocked by the stuff you bought: It's time to clean up your inventory:
  22. Missing from this discussion entirely is the concept of paying for Performance. Equal work in the same job does not equal the same Performance. The companies I worked for, and managed technical groups, all used 3 month performance reviews to determine salary increases if any. Of course there were rather large gaps between some of the employees all doing the same work. It had nothing to do with gender. But that was back in the early 1980's when high-tech companies were competitive to hire the best engineers and technicians. Pay them what they are worth, or lose them to a competitor. Gender was never the issue in middle management. My highest rated employee was a woman technician, and I had about equal men and woman in my group. She was the highest paid in my group because she deserved it. She also took night courses and later became a successful engineer. And Yes, she also had a baby, which her boyfriend took care of during the day.
