From what I know, you do not have to divulge your medical status prior to an offer to hire. ADA thing.

However, I do understand how it can be difficult to attend frequent doctor's appointments and still *keep* the job once you've got it. Absenteeism is not strictly covered under ADA, as being gone from your job keeps you from doing it, and that isn't a "reasonable accomodation".

Being unable to effectively hold employment in this country is no fucking picnic, SS or not.
