One lady colleague of mine, she said she earns 550 dollars SSDI in Massachusetts while she works part-time plus 350 dollars each of her three sons. She wants to move to California because she will increase 1,200 dollars plus 725 dollars each of three sons.
Massachusetts = $1,600 a month
California = $3,375 a month
She wants to quit her part-time job here and will move to California. Naturally, it makes me so furious. What are heck Deaf people do all the day with collect $3,375.00 a month. It seems not fair for serious hearing people who are really sick, wheelchair or blind. They earn very little and cut a lot of Commonwealth Mass Health insurance. They can't afford to get their medication. They work very hard to find the jobs. No one would hire them. They were very discouraged !
I can't image to sit around in the house everyday to earn SSDI or SSDA whatever. I would be fucking crazy to stay home all the day because I can't hear or speak. Oh please !!!
