6% of Social Security money goes to SSI, i.e., the welfare bum slush fund.
Not all disability claims are by welfare bums. I’ve been unable to work full-time for three years and have been living totally off my own savings and what work I can do. I applied for SSI but was denied because I have an education and am a professional, never mind that I can’t sit very long and can barely pick up a piece of paper. I am hardly a welfare bum, and I paid more in FICA than a lot of people earned. I will just write off your insult as the rant of an inconsiderate uninformed person.
SSI is administrated by Social Security.
But, SSI is funded from the general fund, not Social Security taxes.
The net result is that SSI is actually paid from personal and corporate income taxes, or borrowed from buyers of US Treasury Bonds.
SSI has no effect on the financial status of Social Security.
