when your alternative is prison it's hard to call that your fault

again personal responsability and choices made determin outcome

I mean.

They take it directly out of your pay check

yes but as we all know there are ways around that

Reason I hate SSI even if I am on it, I can't earn any income. If I inherit money, someone gives me money, etc, etc... if it is over 2K, I will loose my SSI.

Basically you are not able to move up the economic ladder.

Period.

I only get 790 which is barely enough to survive on.

If I get a job, I can loose SSI.

i could of played their game and claimed i was self employeed and done my taxs differntly and had a ton of reciepts for deductions to lessen my taxs

I will be thrusted into the situation where I wouldn't have a stable future.

I can't have more than 2K at any given time.

but you can get a job and work part time making just under the cut off if you so choose

Well I am on the SSI, permanent one.

and as far as how much you can have there are many ways around that

They put me on that one, not on SSA.

they do not come to your home and search for cash

If I don't report income to them, they will charge me with fraud and make me pay back all the money I gotten through SSI since I gotten it.

oh im not saying not to report income but as far as cash on hand

they can not tell you that you can not save up your cash

Basically it is extortion. You stay in the poor income bracket. If you try to get out of it, you will loose your stable foothold.

You can save up money, but you can't have more than 2K at any given time.

and with ssi and ssd you can work up to a certain amount

If I get a job, I can LOOSE my SSI.

how will they know how much cash you have on hand?

They don't, but if they find out, I can loose everything.

This is why I hate government programs. People don’t help each other anymore since they expect the government do do it at other’s expense. If there was moral cohesion all of this could be solved by people taking the initiative to help their community members.

The government is terrible at spending other people’s money. Always.

It doesn't matter if you are disabled or not. They are looking for reasons to take you off SSI.

To strip away your income.

Even if you will be homeless.

I have to give up my inheritance.

assets in that context is property not cash on hand

How bout family?

I do not have any close family.

Just my mother.

I have no children or wife.

I feel comfortable since I pretty much have over a dozen I can rely on if it gets tough.

Oh..
