But the monthly checks don’t amount to much: around $721 for most folks I see.

$721 sounds like S.S.I., instead of S.S.D.I., S.S.D.I. is based on how much a worker has paid in, while S.S.I. is based on nothing at all. S.S.I. recipients need never have paid in a dime to S.S.

IN rural Alaska, entire families are getting on disability. Pretty easy I hear, then they work all the other programs too. It’s unreal, they increase their payments by popping out kids on a yearly basis.

Re: “SSI”

Many states add money to the federal check of $721, which will go up to about $731 on January 1.

Here in Washington state, I believe the supplement is over $60.

Plus, SSI recipients are eligible for Food Stamps, about $190 a month, so they take home close to $1,000 a month.

Plus, even before ObamaCare, SSI's were eligible for Medicaid.

#8 My sister gets $802 a month for SSI. That includes extra money from the state of Minnesota for food.
