Major slash in disability — 61% of SSI?

BigSkyFreeper posted on another thread that 61% of the SSI check was slashed due to 0-care. This might affect all disability recipients.

SSI is the largest check that disability recipients receive. It will hurt like heck.

I cannot find where BigSkyFreeper said this. Do you have a link?

BigSkyFreeper did say this:

On top of that, $500 billion was cut from Medicare (Baucus called it a “Medicare savings”), and 2 million seniors will be completely cutoff from Medicare Part D (the prescription drug program) in 2011.

No Social Security COLA Increase in 2010....or in 2011

And SloopJohnB posted this interesting analysis on the same thread:
