I think some of JillR's suckers have learned she is a lazy grifter, but they can't let the kids starve. When they have less mouths to feed I think the 'suckers' will fade away.

I wonder what Ma and Pa Rod plan on living on financially when the traveling circus ends and there are no more love offerings?  Will they both be able to receive a monthly Medicare check?

[ginger90]

I wonder how long it will take for Jill to announce their power has been restored. Hmmmm

As of yesterday, they no longer appeared on the outage map. Yes, I checked.  🧐

They will expect their offspring to support them, honor your father and mother and all that jazz.  The adult Rodlets will tithe regularly to the Church of Jill. Jill already has Nathan and Jonathan lined up, I see she was pimping out Renee (or Kaylee, I can't keep track) this past weekend, I get the feeling Timbits will remain single forever in order to support Jill, Philip and Sammers may be allowed to marry.  I can't decide if David and Jill will remain in their own home, or if they will take the RV and travel from house to house.  

Medicare is insurance only, there are no monthly Medicare checks.  Social Security is the monthly checks, but only for those who have paid into the system.  There are ways for the self-employed to pay into SS, but I highly doubt David has done this.  And if he did not, Jill cannot claim any survivor benefits.  We all know Jill has never held down a job in her life, so she has not paid a penny into the system.

You know its summer right Jill?   grilling season.   You  could be cooking for your kids without electricity.    Lot easier to be without electricity in summer when you can at least go outside.   But that would require her somehow getting to the store through her SEVERELY messy driveway.

You know you may be on to something.   She was afraid someone saw them off on their grifting tour to WV so posted it was a trip to W. VA.   Because she thinks everyone is as dumb as she is and believes all her lies.

But no one gifted her a grill or half a cow to grill. Jill is not spending any $ for her kids.

She got a free restaurant gift card so she will use that for herself/Dave. Kids can share a box of stale cereal with water.

The young woman in the red and beige plaid shirt has been pictured with Jill before, maybe in a Plexus photo op. She's the sweet wife of a pastor.

Re bolded: I don’t think that’s the only reason he’ll remain single. 😁

I believe they are assigned through a mission board (might not be the correct wording to use) so there will probably be a bit of retirement money through that. Though it will be a very small amount if so.

This lady has the thinnest face that I've ever seen.  Her mouth is the same width as her head.

Reminiscent of Beaker (sorry, feeling mean today,  I guess):

100% agree. Their 13 kids will be stuck giving them monthly stipend or risk ma and Pa showing up in person 🤪🤣

Pa Rodrigues will meet Jesause first then Jilldo will just go from one kid to the next driving them all insane! I see precious plexus Jill living to 90. 
 

Or Jilldo and Timbot will live together 4eva once Dave dies. I totally agree that Timbot will not marry or leave till both Rod parents die.

I think this lady is using a filter that isn’t giving her the expected results. Or she could be a SIM created by Jill to boost her downline sales. Somebody needs to go check on that lady in the recliner. Has she been Weekend at Berniece-d?

Once the children are grown, I can see Jill applying for SSI benefits due to her invisible knee thingies. Or claiming one or several children as disabled.

The woman with the very thin face and wide mouth looks pretty much the same as in the earlier photos with Jill. That stuck in my memory. She has young children, so she must be getting enough food to stay fertile. 

The blond woman in the Zoom crowd appears to be the guest speaker Mrs. Stoltzfus. She's the only one who seems interested in the project. 

Jill usually wears bright red or pink lipstick. Maybe the Ohio Derecho cut her off from her supply.

Jill can easily get her adult children to tithe to her and Hunk. She'll just threaten to move in with them and they'll fork over the dough!

I would, absolutely!  Anything to keep away from that crazy.

[iwantcookies]

Jill’s new plan is:

keep the married not Nuries near her so she can use the grand kids for her grifting purposes. The grandkids will play the instruments and collect $ for granny Jill.

Hunk is probably already getting SSI. Wouldn’t surprise me if Jenessa also gets SSI. 
 

Grifters gonna grift!

But Jill blogged that Janessa is cured! If they're collecting SSI for her, the authorities need to be contacted. As for David, that's nothing a lap band can't cure. SSI doesn't pay out for his level of obesity. Maybe they do if you're 600 lbs, but David is nowhere near that.

yes and the message to Renee and the other rodlets was loud and clear in Jill's introduction.

Sad and mournful Jill telling about Nurie and family - they live in fla so we don't get to see them often.

Happy, excited Jill introducing Kaylee  -she is engaged to Jonathan who has moved to live near us so we will see them often.

When I was self employed, the IRS made sure I paid my share. A lot of taxes to pay when you’re self employed.

To get SSI, she’d have to take Janessa to a real pediatrician doctor. And, almost everyone gets denied at first. No way is Jill putting in the work (and paperwork) for that.

I don't know which is worse, David's Americana patchwork-quilt shirt or his skin-tight tie-dye leggings. I won't bother to look for photos of the leggings, but they're a Rodrigues vacation classic. This shirt, however, is even worse than the ones (the one) the sons wear. 

I guess it's hard to find a good selection of cheap, retina-damaging clothing in David's  size, or Jill lets him shop on his own, and this is what he comes home with.

First, I'm not defending the disability standards.  They may or may not be appropriate.  Many of them were developed decades ago.

The Social Security workers must take every claim that someone wants to file.  No screening is done and workers are not allowed to try to discourage applications.  Most people don't understand what Social Security or SSI disability requires.  A person must be deemed to be unable to perform any substantial, gainful activity for a period expected to last at least one year or result in death.  That does not mean unable to perform the current or most recent job.  If someone could be retrained to do something else or is deemed able to perform another job, they will be denied.  It's also done without any regard as to whether jobs the person is deemed able to perform are available in the local area or within the interest of the person applying.  As we used to say in the office among ourselves, being a Walmart greeter is considered substantial, gainful activity.  

In other words, don't depend on SSA or SSI to replace income, if you become unable to perform your current job.

When will the suckers learn that not a penny of that money actually goes to the children but to Jill's eyeliner collection and David's large appetite? The only remedy for those who want to help the kids get food is to feed the kids directly.

Yeah, I’ve filled out paperwork for kids with speech IEPs cause their mom read somewhere that if a kid is in special Ed, they automatically get SSI. Frustrating for me, since I’m stuck filling out a 20 page form for a kid who goes to 30 minutes of speech twice a week cause they still can’t pronounce their R’s. 
 

(Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of the therapies that are available to kids in school. They’re a life saver for many kids. But, SSI isn’t for everyone who has to struggle a little at life.)

I've actually had parents who insist their kids needed all services available, including special classes or a one-on-one tutor, just so they could use all the services and apply for anything they can.  Very often, the kid just needed some speech therapy or a little extra teacher time.  It was sad to see these parents make up all this stuff about their child just to get the "extras".  I once knew a couple that was hoping their newborn would need to be in the NICU just so they could get all the perks like free formula and diapers, and free day care.  They thought that was very nice with their first child.  I am sort of surprised that Jill didn't play up any potential or continuing health issues with Janessa.  Just for the posting opportunities, if nothing else.  I wonder if that had anything to do with the CPS visits at their last location.

I just found out in the Sister Wives' thread Plexus is holding a black tie event in Ohio. Did we know this? Is JillR not high enough in the pyramid to warrant an invite? Or is it too costly for her to attend? This must be killing her. All the Plexus ladies got dressed up in all their finery while JillR was Zooming with 7 ladies of which at least 2 seemed to have no interest in the topic.

Jill's fancy prom-like dresses are crying in her closet.
