ADJUSTMENT TO SSI CHECKS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AS A RESULT OF EMPLOYMENT

Many persons with permanent disabilities currently receive an SSI check of $733/mo. maximum and $488.00 minimum check (if living in the home of someone else furnishing room and board). It is not true that the SSI check of a person with disabilities will be automatically terminated when they go to work. Instead, when a person receives a wage as a result of employment, adjustments will be made according to the following chart: (SS CHECK) (YOU EARN) (SS CHECK REDUCED) (NEW SS CHECK AMT) (NEW SS CHECK + YOUR EARNINGS)
