SSI Blocks To Adult Independence

[Guest guest]

My husband, age 46, is working parttime to fulltime regularly and is

often in pain from his CMT condition. SSI will not cover him now

because he's working (and married and I have some assets).

This diagnosis is permanent yet rather than continue to provide him

with a small monthly income and medical coverage--allowing him a

measure of independence he's being treated punitively (at least in my

mind). You find work to supplement your SSI income and then because of

that job you lose your SSI and medical benefits. What can be done? What

have others done? If he were single he could not live on the SSI alone.

I work under the table and say nothing...SSSSHHHH LOL.there would be no way I

could make it on what SSI pays me.Before CMT affected my career I workd hard and

lived comfortably.In order to maintain my comfy lifesyle.SSI supplements my

working on the side not the other way around..
