Why it is better off work than stay home gettin SSI check?

[Tousi]

When u work for more than 10 years, u will get a letter from SS and they will tell you how much money u put in SS that is when u will get retire or become permantely disabled. They earned this. As for people who collect SSI and SSA does not work much and we pay tax to help those people. hope it makes sense to u?

Yes, it is clear now, Jazzy. For those who have NOT worked the required 10 years, there is a law that says they ARE qualified for ssi or ssa thru those same tax dollars we pay. Now we know that there are SOME recipients who abuse the system but I don't say much about it although I could as a taxpayer and I have in the past but it gets tiresome. There are many who, under the law, rightfully receive these benefits on a temporary basis.

These benefits are kinda like war reparations, meaning that the US government is acknowledging that the deaf, generally, are oppressed in the job market and elsewhere and it (gov't) has/is using stop-gap measures to try and level the playing field.

I was one of them who happen to sit and collect SSA for many years and I hate it. I don't blame u for feeling this about us but I am glad they do cuz we need wake up and do something about it and move on with life by working instead of sit home and do nothing. I wish Gov't never give it to me in first place so I would have got job long time ago when I was offered it first but I turned it down cuz I perfer to stay home and take care of my kids till they grow up and see them to graduate from high school. Others followed my footstep. Thank god some of them went back to work but unfortuenly some are stuck and can not find job. I just talked with my friend who said her company will not hire more deaf people because it becomes too costly for having deaf people to work for them. I guess it is cheaper to hire hearing than hire deaf afterall. After read your post about gov't and I think it is time for our gov't do something about it.

Good and honest post, Jazzy. But one thing, please: Do the rules for SSA allow deaf mothers to stay at home and collect these benefits?

Please quit flaming around here. I was NEVER intended to attack anyone who is on SSI, I do not want hear whining, crybabies around that is all I am asking. Many of them who come here and have SSI and didn't whine at all and I didn't have problem with them.
