Disability Benefits: Janke/SSI Rent

"The bottom line purpose of SSI is to provide money for a disabled person so they can get food and shelter (to keep you from starving and homelessness) since they are unable to work and provide it for themselves. The amount of your SSI payment is, in part, based on whether or not you do pay the market value of the shelter you receive. SSI recipients who don't pay rent get less SSI benefits because they need less money. And you need to be able to tell SSI exactly how much rent you pay each month, not that your dad "more or less" considers it rent. That is not a business arrangement." JANKE


Social Security rarely asks how much an SSI benefit pays for rent. Sometimes in financial redeterminations they do, sometimes they don't. What they need to know is if you own your own house or rent your own apartment/house and who lives with you.

As far as SSI keeping people from starving and being homeless... Yes, that is it's alleged objective. However, the full benefit barely allows for it. In my state, a half decent one bedroom no frills clean apartment averages about 750 to 850 (USD) per month not including utilities. More and more predatory property investors are looking to get tenants to pay more and more of their costs so they can augment their income and exploitation. Now some are charging $35.00 extra a month just for the right to have water. Some are also charging for sewage. The rent amounts are without electric and gas utilities, phone etc... With few mass transportation options during this worst capitalist crisis ever, and the severe austerity measures being imposed by Democrats and Republicans, many are forced to pay for a parking spot, if they are lucky enough to be able to afford a half decent car. Most can't afford it. What about food?

What about dental coverage, LIHEAP (cut by billions by Obama) and food stamps that have been either reduced or eliminated by Obama and state governors in order pay for the 2 trillion dollar bailouts for the rich? Section 8 or HCVP and Public Housing are being dismantled. Just take a look at the Senate bill that was past in December of 2014. Take a look at what the RAD program is all about. PRIVATIZATION. There are even what are called media stunts or Psyops that assemble stories that make it appear as though all HCVP/Sec. 8 tenants are dirty and 'bad tenants'. These are media fabrications devised so that the billionaires, via their state puppets in both democratic and republican imperialist parties, can impose more austerity on the working class and middle class. Ireland, SPain, Greece, UK and Italy have woken up to the austerity being imposed, it's time Americans do the same.

The desperately poor and the social wage get hit first. The working and unemployed people have bailed them out through direct and indirect taxes, benefit reductions, forzenwages, diminishing pensions and on and on and on. This is why Obama was appointed president. He is a wonderful representative of the ruling finance/industrial billionaires. Obama is the first administration within which there were no automatic COLA's. No COLA has gone aboe 2% since 2000. Before 2000 the were as much as 4%. Medicare beneficiaries are required to payu higher premiums. It is all in a "bi-partisan" effort to dismantle federal pension plans

Janke, you give some good advice but it's all based on a compolicated myriad of harsh and demeaning rules and procedures that appear to be "fair and balanced" and work toward the "efficiency" of the program and to make sure "everyone who deserves SSI gets it." This is a cover for the fact that the billionaires are stealing money from the masses. Social programs were crumbs thrown at us by our ruling billionaire class due to the fine example set by Stalin and the Soviet Union who nearly single handedly crushed the fascist Hitlerite beasts. They are a dull imitation or a watered down version of the wonderful life workers and families had during the Stalin era. He was beloved everywhere even by Roosevelt and Churchill. British workers would pain signs on tanks saying "Another one for Uncle Joe" Due to the threat of a good example, that of the Soviet Union, the US and British ruling class had to think fast in order to appease the growing comunist movements in both countries. They wanted to protect their wealth that was stolen off of US workers. That is why the expanded social security and implemented many other social programs. Now that capitalism destroyed the Soviet Union with the traitor Kruschev, and the end of the Soviet Union, you and I and everyone else is in for a life of more hardship and destitution. This includes State and Federal workers pensions being at risk just like medicaid and food stampsl


SSI is only 60 billion a year! Obama spent 77 billion to finance Jihadists that have been killing innocent working Syrian people since March of 2011. In fact the US has spent hundreds of billions to fund terrorists since the 1970's by both "democrats" and "republicans" via the Pentagon and CIA. Don't listen to me just research it. They are a proxy army for the US billionaires in the US despearate attempt to save a dying social system called capitalism. But you certainly don't understand such things. You did your job well sitting at your desk everyday thinking all is fair and functioning.

They Syrian people are defending themselves against our bloodthirsty ruling class that are wagin a war against workers and pensioners and disabled, including many bright SSA office workers. we must support Assad and Russia. They are devastating "ISIS" or whatever name that the CIA gives them. "ISIS" is a proxy army of the same ruling class that had made up SSI rules!
