Many deaf people rely on SSI to survive because we cannot get jobs even they got college degrees and /or training in certain fields - why? Many companies chose to ignore a deaf qualified applicants because it cost too much (equipment and interpreters to help deaf communicate with the hearing) and we don't want to take the time to communicate and train new deaf employees.

We did not try very hard to fight ourselves for successful our career at the private industries and federal government agencies. They look down at us to pity us because we can't hear. Hello.... We are human like other hearing people. We need to educational them about the Deaf language and culture to expose hearing people to become familiar with our language. I taught ASL to my hearing colleagues. That is how, I got promotion my job because I tried very hard to educational them. Now each of the State of Commonwealth established Disabilitiy Agencies to help with Deaf people for training, school, jobs, etc... Why do we encourage high school students to stay home to collect SSI/SSDI? They look up at their parents stay home to collect SSI, the children think oh the government would support those children rest of the life. NO !! We need to teach the Deaf children how important colleges and jobs for their future.

If you want to see many deaf people become big successful like have good jobs and good families and reduced dependence on SSI. If the SSI payments to deaf were cut off then how we can survive if no one wants to hire us? Imagine if you were deaf and you cannot get a job. What would you do to survive? Become straved with no food and you have to steal so that you can live for another day. Then make the ADA strong with teeth to bite those who abuse the deaf rights. We will be very appericate if you help us by tell the Congresses to cork loopholes in damn ADA now! or you better to pray that million deaf Americans do not know become criminals to survive or more impovished and end up in more new federal and states prisons someday.
