Right now the sum is one thousand and seventy dollars a month; next year it’ll be one thousand and ninety dollars a month. I know this because I’ve been on SSD for some time working out serious mental problems and restructuring my life. My SSD comes from my work history, which is good. I haven’t liked it, but I’ve been working on building my own business and facing serious demons that I’ve been unable to face in the past. I’ll be off it shortly, so please don’t flame me.

I support SSD and SSI if it means keeping people off the streets.

Not everyone has a family to fall back on and I assure you that not everyone on assistance is lazy or shiftless.

Your mental issues must include paranoia because I can assure you, I never made a reply comment to you, at all. I did make a reply comment to someone else about Social Security only counting "earned" income in the limitations for income one could receive without penalty while you are drawing SS before you reach full retirement age.

My wife and I both have drawn SS since we retired three years ago, so I don't disparage anyone who chooses that route.

I don't know what you mean by "don't flame me" but I hope you can get you life back together.
