For what it's worth... many may already know.
When you have a diagnosis of ALS you are automatically considered 100%
disabled with Social Security.
If you own a home in many states you are eligible to a tax reduction.
Go to your tax office with your SS Award Letter and apply.
Here in NC they reduce your tax value by $25,000.00 dollars. It will help
lower your mortgage payment if it is in escrow.
I believe in some states, in some circumstances, your tax value might
be completely exempt. Call your tax office if you haven't.
(Possibly, in some states, it may include the spouse left with the home too.)
