The Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) was created in 1972 under the Nixon administration to provide financial support to low-income seniors and disabled people. An effort to federalize state-level adult support programs across the country, SSI is a means-tested program—there are financial requirements to be eligible. In the case of SSI, as of its last adjustment in 1989, enrollees cannot have savings of more than $2,000 as an individual or $3,000 as a family. Furthermore, SSI beneficiaries are prohibited from having retirement accounts, life insurance policies, certain types of personal property, funeral/burial policies, and access to other types of income.

I'm so sorry, comrade. cuddle

Anecdotally, from a friend of mine, everyone gets denied on their first disability application. An attorney is a de facto requirement. Probably intentional in order to cull the numbers. Wonderful system.

100%. Everyone gets denied and it is 100% to cull people. If you ask them they'd tell you it's to encourage people to go back to work and not cheat the system, which is obvious bullshit.

Fuck this hypocritical country.

We are run by literal malthusians who want to apply video game morality into real life.
