My wife relies on this check each month and it pays towards bills and mortgages...I'll have to contact the bank and inform them of the situation and see what they can do. Most banks aren't that forgiving when it comes to mortgages. :(

Oh really? Banks don't forgive? I mean, wow! You actually think businesses care about you?!?!

That's what you get for voting a Republican!

Your wife? Republicans don't give a damn.

It's a great day to be a Republican, cut cut cut everything - taxes, retirement, SS benefits, etc! Screw the poor, disabled, and the old!

And now this is what you get... and you deserve it.

God Bless GOP and Tea Party!!!

There is nothing on ssa.gov (the Social Security site) in their "press room" section that says anything about benefits being delayed.
 
Want a bet? I say all people on social security will get an extra $250 in addition to their checks to help with the COLA.
 
Umm. I don't receive benefits for being deaf. No SSI, SSDI or anything, not even foodstamps. So this whole statement from Reid and Obama will not affect me.

I have to agree with Reba, it is nothing more than a scare tactic and ploy to blame Republicans for the spending spree the Obama Administration has done to cause there to be such a mess. Blame it on Bush? That is getting old ... Obama is the current POTUS and he is not doing a good job. He got elected by blaming everything on Bush, and now, when people criticize him for not doing enough for the economy, he has to blame his own inaction on ..... someone.

Why doesn't Obama just put a hold on all government employees pay checks instead of Social Security? Starting with his? I am sure that people on Social Security need their money much much more badly.
 
"But according to the latest trustees report, beneficiaries aren't projected to nab such a generous bump. It predicts the COLA that will kick in starting in January 2012 will be 0.7 percent."

But, Obama might freeze COLA for 2012 due debit crisis deadline on Aug 2?

Because almost all government employees are Democrats
 
Show me the source if you can. If it was from FoxNews, then we know that FoxNews supports Republicans. That's not good.

No need because this person is an idiot.

It was your decision. :roll:

Obviously, that's incorrect and being default causes too many factors that you never know and Obama is just warn about any scenarios occur, even SS could be freeze and it is up to Department of Treasury to whatever with money.

Come on, government workers are not slavery and they are required to get paid.

Debt ceiling needs to raise without any questions and look at Netrox's post.

If you aren't happy with government then don't apply for government jobs.
 
If Congress fails to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit by August 2, Americans could face rising interest rates and a declining dollar, among other problems. As the cost of borrowing rises, individual mortgages, car loans and student loans could become significantly more expensive.

Officials also warn that, without an increase in the debt limit, the federal government will not be able to pay all its bills next month. Obama recently indicated he could not guarantee Social Security checks would be mailed out on time.

see the bold sentences. if it does happen then every IRS, medicaid, medicare, family & children dept, social security adm, any kind of food services and any form of government services goes on would not get any paid then any form of government checks won't run without those government depts with help. mm that's interesting.

That has happened.
 
My MIL thought she heard on news today (I could not confirm) that all SSI and SSDI checks were going to be eliminated and there would be no more disability pay-outs. I told her I had not heard that, and now she thinks I need to try and find work. I reminded her that I did and can't get anything around here. Has anyone else heard this?



now this is scary! no SSI. or SSDI? I get SSI on 3 of my Minor Kids who are disabled! I have health issues and do not qualify for SSD. and am unable to work.. I depend on that SSI to pay all my bills. hubby makes min wage and It barely brings in enough to put a dent in the rent let alone the electric, water, car payment, Car ins.

I made calls to some of my bills today. and MY cell bill said They will help.. AT&T gave me till the 29 of aug to pay. and if i still have no check they will push it back farther. My Tv service said to call on aug 5th and if I still have no check they will put me off as far as they can. but my Mortage. my Water and my Electric said To bad.. its not their problem. if idont pay. I loose service. that what are theys upose to do about it.


how can they ELim. SSI when there are Thousans of ppl who Do not qualify for SSD or SS but Qualify for ssi can can't work?? are we spuose to live on the streets and loose our kids?
 
Those who are saying it's a scare tactic are correct.

SS draws their entire funding through payroll taxes, which is put into a trust fund for the purpose of paying out the benefits. That trust fund have been running at a surplus for a while amounting to 2.4 trillions of dollars. No reason for them to be unable to continue the SS payments when the federal govt. doesn't fund it at all unless they have been dipping into the trust fund. Raising the debt ceiling has no bearing on SS as it is entirely funded without the federal govt.

You are not supposed to use your kids SSI to pay your bills. That's not what it is for.
