The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families

A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipi

The Trump administration wants to make a rule change that would decrease or end benefits for SSI recipients who live with their family. As many as 400,000 disabled people may have their benefits cut if this rule change occurs.

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

It's worth noting as always that as things currently stand, the MAXIMUM benefit a person can receive from SSI is $994 a month.

If two people on SSI are married, the MAXIMUM they can receive is $1,491 a month, total, for both of them. (Meaning marriage to another SSI recipient reduces your maximum income possible to $745 a person each month.)

Could you live on that?

Could you live on that without living with family?

[gudakdalee]

The administration is working on a rule change that would deduct the value of a disabled adult’s bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the family members they live with are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. This would mean slashing the benefits of some of the most low-income SSI recipients by up to a third — about $330 a month in Burton’s case — or ending their support altogether. The SSI rule change is being reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, a process that involves editing the draft regulation and considering where it falls on the list of the president’s priorities. Once it’s returned to the Social Security Administration for initial publication, there will be an opportunity for public comment; it could take until next year to be finalized, depending on the amount of opposition it faces. (quote from article above)

AND IT NEEDS TO FACE A LOT OF OPPOSITION, SO CALL AGAIN!!

im gonna look up contact info for the office of management and budget staff, White House Budget Director Russell Vought, and Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. Bombard them. no peace for em.

[thedisdainfullysilentvisitor]

And they're going after disabled people cause they think A, no one will fight for them and B, they're too weak to fight for themselves.

[thegenderienvy]

This will kill people btw. Let’s not beat around the bush on that.

[orchidvioletindigo]

I want to add that SSI is also the one where you aren't allowed to have more than $2,000 worth of money or assets to your name if you're single or $3,000 if you're married or else the government cancels your benefits.

The cap isn't just on monthly income, it's on how much you're allowed to have period.

[hartlow]

Also happy disability pride month to people with symptoms where even specialists for said symptoms have no idea what the fuck is going on or how to help you. People whose lives have been completely destroyed and they don't even have the privilege of naming who the enemy is. I see you and I wish more people acknowledged you

Simone de Beauvoir, from a diary entry featured in Diary of a Philosophy Student

[strawberry-crocodile]

ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

[strawberry-crocodile]

really funny how like 10% of the comments are people going "nuh uh" and the remaining 90% are people going "this is literally whats happening to me/my mom/etc Right Now"
