[quote=Anonymous]My Mom gets it but because she was self employed for many years and didn't pay in to SS, her check is minimal, I actually subsidize her income monthly.

She is capable of getting from A to B, she can clean a house, mow her yard, etc.  Mowing her yard is a bit of a problem so someone normally does it for her.  She has extensive circulatory issues in her legs so standing for an extended period of time is not an option.  In addition, it's not an option for her to NOT be on SSD because of her health.  Between heart meds, BP meds, beta blockers, cholesterol meds, HRT, and some sort of anti seizure drug that is supposed to address the neuropathy in her legs, she couldn't afford to NOT be on SSD as she would never be able to find insurance to cover her pre-existing conditions.

It's a crappy system.  It's broke and is in desperate need of fixing.  It's all we have.  She's even in OH and has to participate in a Spend Down program where she pays the difference in what she makes vs the poverty rate to cover her "insurance" each month.  This is new since she enrolled in Medicare.  Now she has a luxurious income of about $600/month.  BTW, I own her home.  [/quote]
