184. The answer is less red tape not more.

I understand the marriage thing. My son was married for five years, his SSI was cut to two hundred a month because of his wife's income. She left him when he relapsed and it took a very long time and more reviews before it was increased to $650. You want to know why it's so low compared to what others receive? They said he shouldn't have received the monies while he was married so now part of his check goes to paying that money back. So did he commit fraud, no but they do a good job of collecting any monies paid in error or fraud. I can assure you that the two hundred a month did not even cover the cost of his monthly medication co-pays.

You are not hearing us. No we do not like fraud but it will always be there. Ever time someone starts screaming about waste and fraud in our social services, we end up with big cuts like the recent on in food stamps. Which means many who need the help now go without.

Those same politicians do little or nothing regarding fraud and waste in the corporate world since they benefit big time from that.

edited to clarify SSI not SSDI
