Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) allows for people to have assets and homes. They do not need to see a list of assets. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is different, they want to know all assets and also see previous tax records. I wrote a paper on this years ago, things might have changed now though.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 << This is what I was referring to the SSI not the SSDI. I am on SSD and when my hubby and I were split I also tried to get SSI but was told I would have to sell my van and my wedding ring..... for an additional $100 a month... I don't think so....... I need my van to get around in with my scooter. My van is paid off. But yet. I see others that get SSI that have more.... But they didn't show it - they put thier stuff in someone elses name so that it wouldn't show. But yet they have it. Frustrating. Jeanie >> Jeanie Most of the people on SSI are addicts and alcoholics. Those, I believe are the ones abusing the system. My last job was in the medical transportation business, and the majority of the people were considered 'behavioral health'. We took them to mental health facilities. Also most of them refer to their checks as 'crazy checks'. It's actually easier for them to get SSI than it is for a physically sick person to get disability.
