Ifyou are on SSDI and SSI it will benefit you if you join. Most people on the programs have
monthly incomes of $520 and $700. This is how they work. If you are making $520 per month you
qualify for food stamps,medicaid and your medicare premiums are paid then it comes time for the
yearly raise. When they give it to you they also deduct from food stamps. On the other hand if
you make the upper end of the scale then you are hit with the ever increasing medicare premiums
and deductible.
There are disabled people in nursing homes only for the fact that they are
quads. All that is needed is in home attendant care. They have the right to choose where it is
they live especially if they have a home of their own. They have commited no crime so they
should have the right to go home. Use the money spent on the nursing home to pay for attendant
care.
I am a 51 year old man with post-polio syndrome and have been in an electric
wheelchair for about 11 years. I have been trying to get tansportation for most of that time.
There are thousands of dollars to spend to modify and equip a van and a van will be avaiable if
you can work. But if your doctor says that you can't work then you are home-bound. You must
supply your own van if you can't work and this is impossible on SSDI and SSI with a combined
total of $520 a month. We must bring this to public attention. I was even told that if I wanted
to get out that I should move or check into a home. My right to go to the store, the library or
church on Sunday has been taken away and felons in prisons are given these basic rights. They
can go to the commesary, to the library and to church, so why are our rights taken
away.
