Answer 1

Hi -- Apply for a repatriation loan at the Embassy in Manila.

Answer 2

You should contact the US embassy first. Tell them your situation, more importantly tell them that your children are American citizens. I hope your situation works out.

Answer 3

Rush to the US embassy in Manila or contact their citizens emergency number. You can repay their your repatriation expenses once you return to US.

Answer 4

You need to go to the embassy in Manila, claim poverty, and request assistance getting your family back to the United States.  They'll arrange a loan if you have no family members who can help.

You should have known that after 30 days outside the United States the SSDI ends.
