So your COMPLETELY lying and affecting that companies operations same as lying about past employment history. So please don't make statements that are hypocritical in nature.
It really depends. If it is a questionnaire asking what is the highest level of education achieved and you left off the highest, yes, that is lying.
If it is a tailored resume for a specific job and you're not including education that you may not feel is relevant to getting the job, then it is not lying. You're also not including work history that isn't relevant either.
I didn't lie to get SSDI, paranoid schizophrenia is one of the cases where it's easier to get SSDI. I was thrown into a mental ward 5 times in the 90's, for two weeks each time. Then I lost a great job because I went paranoid. Based on that history SS easily gave me SSDI back in 2001.
My dad is still alive so his money should pay the property tax and utilities. The trust says I get 5 parts of the assets and my brother get 4 parts, aunt gets 1 part. I have to look at the trust if it meant the house, too. If we refuse to sell the house my brother threatens to SUE ME. So he's such a greedy bastard.
My brother turned into a monster after my mom's death. I HATE talking to him because every time he talks to me he shouts, talks down at me, and calls me bad names. And he falsely accuses me of stuff. So we end up angry and fighting each other. I want to avoid getting angry and fighting, but he forces me into it with the way he talks to me.
As for your home situation, I am very sorry to hear about your mom! Isn't your dad still alive though? What does he say about selling the house so quickly? Your brother is probably just greedy. Ask to see the trust papers. Talk to the lawyer who handled the will. Did you read the will? Your mother may have put something in there that the house not be sold until you and your father are ready to move. You and your father should not just listen to your brother because he's in charge of the Trust. I think your mother would have made provisions for you and your father in her will or in the Trust so you both have a place to live and not be kicked into the street so others could get their profit right away. This is very common to make provisions in the will or in a Trust when family members are living together in a household. You shoulddefinitely see the attorney and look into what is actually written in the will and in the Trust concerning the disposition of the house regarding you and your father. It seems strange your brother says the Trust says the house must be sold right away. Do you really think your mother would have wanted you and your father kicked out of your home immediately upon her death? In these situations I have heard more like the provision is that the home cannot be sold until the death of theremaining occupants. Seriously that is more like it ... not the quest for quick profits in order to make people lose their home. Look into it.
Check out the details of the will and trust agreement. It is possible that if your brother convinces you to move out voluntarily he will be able to sell the house even if the trust says that you can live there for "life". Good luck to you.

You are better off if you get 1/2 the house net proceeds. $1,191 isn't going to cover expenses, your work history is not going to work in your favor, but you can live off 50% o the proceeds to supplement the $1,191 SSDI.
Why not just make your resume without dates on it?
I've actually seen a fair number of those. It's certainly not unheard of in the professional world to do a resume without dates, and I don't think that gets held against you. So long as you're consistent.. Don't put education dates, don't put dates of previous employment.
Then what you'll have to make the decision on will be if they call you in for an interview and then ask you the dates you worked those jobs.
Anyone else have opinions on resumes without dates? So far as whether or not you think they are a good idea for the long term unemployed? Or whether, if you do hiring, you'd disqualify someone immediately for that?
I'm sorry but i just don't buy it. 5.5 years unemployed with a ME degree? There is no way you are telling the whole story. Could be you are just in a bad location, buty it seems like something else is the problem to me. And 48K for an ME? OMG we pay assemblers almost that much. Assuming you have a career of ME related experience, you should be making near or just above 100K.

Thank you for clarifying about the SSDI. I had to fight for several years to get SSDI for a relative with extensive, extensive medical documentation for a permanent disability. He had several doctors/specialists confirming that he was totally & permanently disabled, hundreds of pages of hospital records, voluminous diagnostic verification, etc. etc. and it still took years after he was unable to continue working to get it approved.
It really upsets me when I hear people openly admit to cheating and lying to get SSDI---you would be surprised how often people try to get SSDI when they really aren't disabled. I sort of over-reacted when you were talking about job hunting when, by definition, SSDI is designed for people who are totally disabled. However, paranoid schizophrenia is somewhat different than other disabilities.
Perhaps have your doctor or an advocate or an attorney talk with your brother to get the information regarding the trust.

This depends greatly on how much the house is worth. Perhaps, it would work out if the house was worth a million dollars or more but perhaps not. We don't know how much the house is worth. And, the OP will still need to find a place to live and have to pay utilities, etc.
Keep in mind that the $1,191 in SSDI does not change over time (except for the small COL changes in SS). So it will be $1,191 a month now and $1,191 a month ten years from now and $1,191 a month twenty, thirty or forty years from now.

I don't see a better option no matter the home's value. With that work history, just getting considered for any job, no matter the pay level, is a challenge.

The OP does not know exactly what was in his late mother's will/trust agreement. His brother is trying to get him & his elderly father to move out of the house so he can sell it. It is possible that one or both of the current residents (father & son- the OP) may have a life estate (can live in the house as long as they live).
The OP needs to wait until he knows for sure what his rights are in regard to the house.
