Unemployment checks eventually run out and stop. Social Security disability checks continue for your lifetime.
The “smart” takers are converting their unemployment checks into Social Security disability checks.
They will be devastated in the coming storm.
Yup. I have said this is the past. One of the reasons why the Unemployment rate officially is not as bad as it should be is because there has been massive growth in the numbers of people claiming to be disabled. This makes sense seeing as disability pays a lot more than unemployment. This administration has done nothing to discourage this rampant abuse of the system because it serves its propaganda purposes to claim that the official unemployment is lower than 8 percent.
Dragging genuinely disabled people down into the abyss with them.
