[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704765, member: 1550"] Just a comment. To me it is not good language to call social security free money. It is hard to qualify for it and a minimal amount for those who are unable to hold sustainable jobs. Social security is not given to anyone with ease. The person must prove he is unable to work. I went through this process. It is in my opinion unfair to us to keep calling it free money. I worked hard all my life but could not sustain a job. I tried very hard. I applied to get help from D V R and was told I had to apply for S s d I first. I did never thinking I'd get it but I did. My son with autism also gets it although he works two jobs. He makes $8.00 an hour but he works hard and hates to take a day off. We are not lazy. I would rather be able to work a high level job. I just wanted to correct this as my son and I are not lazy. A person must have severe disabilities to qualify for s s d I. Or you couldn't get it. Many people need to get legal help. Thanks for understanding. This is unintentional I am sure but it is hurtful. I am not ashamed of me, but it makes me cringe to read on this great site that our situation is being judged as cheating the government. I have seen this often and finally humbly decided to bring it up. S s i is very needed. There are many people who can't earn a sustainable income due to disabilities. Your son is one or he would not have qualified. How he spends it is up to him. Nobody makes you send them a list. That would be humiliating. [/QUOTE]
