If you are American, PLEASE SUPPORT THE SSI RESTORATION ACT OF 2021

This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.

Among other things, it will:

Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.

Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.

Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)

Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.

REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.

REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN

For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.

Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.

Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.

These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.

If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!

Need Help

Hi it’s me back at it again asking for help because living in poverty is awful.

This time around is for my brother who has a bad tooth infection and seeing a doctor for it is really expensive including the bills since no insurance.

Things like this are extremely scary if you’re poor because infections like this can KILL poor people (one of the common deaths besides poor health in general) and idk about yall but the last thing i wanna do is lose my brother.

I feel so guilty asking for help again but in situations like this it is literally traumatic n terrifying being poor because there’s not much you can actually do

my brother for the time being has just been taking random antibiotics that our parents have for their own pain issues in hopes it settles down.

also this is the second time my brother had an infection, the first time my dad tried to convince him to just rip the tooth out which i got VERY ANGRY AT (if you don’t know, you DON’T do that unless you work in that field and know what you’re doing because if the tooth breaks or something goes wrong and causes further injury, IT CAN LITERALLY KILL YOU.)

What i really want to possibly save up for is enough to cover costs of possibly surgery and to cover medical bills and medication 

i made a paypal me thingy in hopes it works? paypal.me/yukirar

if that doesn’t work and you wanna donate just DM me and i’ll send the email to the paypal instead.

hello, I’m sorry I keep having to remake these, but they kind of lose traction after a certain amount of reblogs. long story short, I had to flee my state in a hurry to get away from my abusive household. I’m currently without insurance, without a job, and unmedicated. I’ve been looking everywhere for employment. I had a job for a bit, but the oregon fires hit, and I was once again left without one. I don’t have any source of income at the moment nor do I have any family I can turn to. if anyone has anything to spare so that I can afford my medication, groceries, and other necessities while I look for another job it would mean so much to me. thank you and I’m sorry.

If anyone could send me, an unemployed disabled person, some money as I am in the negative, that would be really helpful

Even 10 dollars would help me greatly

casual fan? no sorry i only know how to invest my whole livelihood into something and spend every waking moment thinking about said thing

if ur disabled or chronically ill u know that the tv trope of “doctors will stop at nothing to learn more about a patient’s extremely rare symptoms and find answers” is a crock of shit. all doctors know is gaslight disabled people, ignore ur pain, tell u to exercise, and do the same test 10 times

but if i don’t hyperfixate i’ll get depressed and die
