My house is paid for, I got 6 months left on my car, the 1928.00 in ss just covers my bills, no food or gas. I know a few people who were abled body to work but got ssi.. pissed me off, but still worked for what I got.
People placing ALL who NEED assisstance together is wrong. Actual people who cannot possibly work get SS. My MIL gets about 1,800 a month, they charge 1,740 a month for her care in a adult care facility. IDK what they get as a kicker in other ways, but she needs it. Her daughter is undergoing cancer treatments, and I am taking care of her. Nobody is scamming here. Just people grateful for the people who worked for this, and cursing the takers who never have lifted a finger.
