The System is Rigged Against People on Disability

One of the most glaring issues is the inability to save money without facing repercussions from SSI. The program enforces strict asset limits, penalizing those who attempt to save even modest amounts. If you have more than $2,000 in resources, you risk losing your benefits. This cap makes it extraordinarily difficult to plan for the future, whether it’s for emergencies, education, or even something as simple as a small vacation.
