I have an aunt on assistance. She was paying her rent and power and water bills and saving what was left over.
Then two years later they said they overpaid her because she had too much money in the bank.
Ridiculous. Just because she was thrifty.
She has only rough money to bury her (maybe) when she passes.
Meanwhile illegal aliens get thousands in federal assistance far more than she gets. And they are not even law abiding citizens.
SSI or SS?
