Wrong. They are given that time to find the means of supporting themselves. Afterwards, their benefits are gone! I do not know in what fashion you deal with them, but that is how it is.
Oh please. Elderly relatives collect SSI. Many have Medicaid as their insurance, young and old. My wife deals with families that collect money from the county to "care for" relatives, who are by some miracle able to baby sit, cook and clean for others. Food stamps. It goes on and on. By the way, I bet you got a nice price on that bridge you were sold too....
