| yeah just be in pain, be a martyr and 'whislte while you work' ........
There shouldn't be a stigma to being on SSI ..there is not dishonour in it for gods sake
That's patently demagogic and silly...that's what the program is FOR....duh
No, the program is for people who can't work, not for people who have ailments that make working difficult. But the bleeding hearts have expanded it to the point where even people who are perfectly capable of working can now take advantage of the system.
The reason there's a stigma to it is because there are so many people who are receiving benefits, who do not have a valid excuse why they are unable to be gainfully employed.
Going to work despite having problems does not make me, or anyone else, a martyr. It makes us responsible adults who see our obligations as needing to be met, and not by the taxpayers.
BTW - you're fun to debate with, but can you maybe get some new words? "Patently," "demagogic," "silly" and "nonsense" are starting to lose their punch. There's thesaurus.com if you need some ideas. :: grin ::

| First of all for a person to get on S.S.I. does not need to be mentally ill.The person can have health problems like myself.I'm not going list my health problems because this isn't anyones business to know this.
Some who posted that are mad because I'm on S.S.I. for asking a simple question like would you get into a relationship if the person is on S.S.I.? A few people gave me their answer but most of the other post just complained about they are sick and they can't get on S.S.I. or S.S.D.I..My illness is real since the doctor filled out the papers and sent it in to the office.
Yes,I have worked part-time for papa johns but I had to quit since I have problems with night vision.I can only work jobs that I know I can do.Yes,I am slow in speed and in learning.I have learned to work with my illness in my life.I don't complain about it because this is the cards God has giving me in this life.
I did not mean to make everyone mad at me for just a simple question on this topic.All I was looking for is a simple yes or no answer but most who posted did more complaining then anything else.

Prince25, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to have a relationship with someone on SSI. But don't you feel that you can rise above this apparent stigma and improve your condition?
From what I've read from your posts you have a better than average command over your words. Even better than most who post here. Ever think about writing for a living? Take your strengths and improve your lot. Don't wallow.

| I just wanted everyone to know that I am a minister but I do not get paid for preaching.
I do have plans in the future to get a degree to work in a lawyers office.I did had plans to write a book but my grammer and spelling is bad so I decided to get back into writing songs and sing them myself.I love being a preacher since I have been doing this for over 7 years now.I have plans to tape my sermons and sell them so I can travel in the U.S. to preach.

| Hi, I used to live on SSI then SSDI. I am Deaf. Right now, I am not on it for several reasons. First they said that I can keep SSDI and marry my then wife.. Now we are not married anymore. But um, the reason was they cut me off was she is hearing and working. they said I can keep SSDI if I married a DEAF woman with SSDI also. I was told you cant! What gives!? It doesnt make any sense at all! That is why I dont bother with SSDI or SSI. The reason for cutting off is if the spouse is working, you cant receive it until AFTER you marry. its too complicated. I have a deaf friend who married a foreign girl from the Philippines. He is STILL living on SSDI and his wife is working... she has to because of US laws regarding for foreign brides. They dont support each other finanically but she support herself and their baby, period. They have to follow the letter of the law.
It really sucks, isnt it? I know its hard that you would like to marry someone who is not abled (I prefer to call us, abled, instead of disabled since it sounds negative with the prefix, "dis".)
To that person who really ranted and working for the state, enough! I do understand the abled people can not work because of illnesses or was born that way or injuried on the job. I am sure they dont want to live that life today due to the high cost of living. I know you dont like to pay taxes to take care of others. I know its socialism but somebody got to take care of them. Most families will not want to take care of their abled children. I grew up attending a deaf school till 9th grade before transferring to public high school so I understood both side of the fence. they say 90 percent of parents dump their children with different abilities and they are afraid or dont know how to handle that. Or they want perfection. Thats a no no.
I know how its difficult. I dated women in my past and they seem not want to bother. Only deaf women seem to do but we didnt work out due to communication or whatever..
Hey, if you are on SSI or SSDI, and the opposite sex learns what you are living on, please do be honest and explain why you have to live on such limited income. You are doing yourself a favor: you can screen how they react and you can pick out bad apples out of the barrel. You will find your right person soon.
Hey, where are you my bride!!!??
By the way, I grew up hard of hearing till I lost more hearing 4 years ago this august.. (lost in 2004)... so I know how able-people can do.
Well, you will find that person who is willing to accept you for who you are.

| It would depend on the circumstance.
If it was someone collecting SSI just do milk the system, no I wouldn't.
If it was an honest condition, yes. However, I don't disagree with questioning someone's income if they don't work. I know I bust my a** for my paycheck, instead of milking the government for their assistance. I'm an honest person and would expect the same from any mate.

| For the people said no they would not get into a relationship with a person on S.S.I..
Think about this for a minute what I am about to say.So if you met someone and you get a long really good but then you find out the person is on S.S.I. so you decided you don't want nothing to do with the person because him or her being on S.S.I..That makes no sense at all.I would say I can't believe how many people are judging people like myself for being on S.S.I..I rather be on S.S.I. then free loading off my parents.
I am going say this so read very slow so you can understand it.You will miss out finding Mr.Right,Ms.Right or Miss Right.Not only that when women don't want to get into relationship with beause of me being on S.S.I. this is what I say "I'm the best guy a woman could have in her life and for the women that did not want a relationship with me,it's their lost".
For me being a Minister I have learned one thing you can't or shouldn't judge people because their is one higher then you or me that is in charge of judging people on this earth.

| There is a difference between SSI and SSD. SSD is usually for those who have worked at some point and a large percentage of the income they receive from Social Security comes from monies removed from their own paychecks over the years. At least that is my understanding of this. The amount they receive is also based on their previous earnings because of this. SSI is Supplemental Security Income as opposed to Social Security Disability. Those on SSI receive a set rate that is rarely high enough to support themselves except at substandard levels. To be able to buy beer, steak, or shrimp for most is out of the question. In areas where the cost of living is higher they have to resort to shared living arrangements, family, or friends simply to be able to afford a place to live and most require other state supplementals in addition to that to even provide food. This is for ONE person. It is NOT enough to raise a family on. Bear that in mind before considering it as 'milking' the system. It is hard enough to bear up under a disabling condition, but for some struggling with assuring they have a home or can afford to eat it only adds to their hardships.
I'm not a genius nor do I think I know everything, but this is the system as I understand it and I find it very cruel of some of you to debase others who may have this as their only means of survival. At least they are surviving...some would've given up already. Maybe I'm naive, but I applaud their bravery and will to survive.
To the originator of this thread - Hang in there. I'm rooting for you.

| Yeah, I guess my question to that would be, if you are severely disabled, why continue having children?
If it were up to me, I'd have three or four more children. I'm not doing it, because I can't afford it financially, and it would take away what I am able to give and do for the children I have. If I were disabled enough to be unable to work, then I would take that into consideration in deciding whether to bring more children into the world that I might not be physically or financially capable of caring for.

You would think. Which is why it totally *floors* me that so many of them ARE able to afford to smoke.
I had to quit smoking when they put the new taxes into effect at the end of 2006, because I just couldn't justify the expense anymore. It bothers the crap out of me for someone who's "unable" to support themselves financially to be buying cigarettes - with the tax money that the rest of us provide - that we can't afford to smoke LOL.
Not to mention - when the smoking causes further health problems, I guess the rest of us will get to foot the bill for THAT, too.
