Elderly and disabled people who are on SSI only get $23 per month in food assistance. The SSI check itself is not enough to pay bills and buy food. Give elderly and disabled individuals more than $23 a month to eat on.
I know someone who is permanently disabled and is on ssdi. She gets more than, $23/month for food.
If you’re on disability and figure out a way to make some income, social security will take away your assistance and your medical.
I think that is a tragedy.
I guess it’s a good idea, if you’re trying to keep the poor people poor.
