17. SSI maxes out at under $1,000 a month

And unlike SSDI disability, has income and asset limitations.

Separately, the Trump administration is preparing a proposed regulation that would eliminate or sharply cut the Supplemental Security Income benefits of roughly 400,000 extremely poor and disabled people.


Qualifying for SSI means the individual does not have the work credits for SSDI, and has less than $2,000 in assets (not counting primary home and primary car). For every $2 earned in income, the benefit is reduced by $1.

If found on recurring reviews to have saved past the $2k asset limit - they toss you off the program: the meager income AND medicaid.


This isn't targeting fraud, waste or abuse - its Eugenics.
