true disabled got their social security cut off?

[Robert Oak]

I just watched the local news saying congress cut off the
social security disability checks to millions.

a whopping 321 a month and now one guy interviewed, a quad in a wheelchair was literally talking about killing himself for he literally had zero money.

I can't (well I can believe they would do that), but does anyone know anything about this?

7. I looked, nothing

www.katu.com

It "flew" by and I just said "what" and there was something about "party bickering" and disability benefits were cut. I don't know if it was state of federal, just this guy now with nothing.

8. why I asked here

the news channel was
www.katu.com

but I've also been googling and just cannot find anything about it..

but it would not surprise me in the least to discover people got cut...
at least in OR they have been stripping people of benefits, who really need them.

Then, we have tons of illegal aliens who do not need them, getting them.
Sorry, but I live here and see it every day and it gets me mad.

10. My husband has been disabled and drawing SS for over 20 years

Have heard nothing about this. I believe someone is confused. Can you imagine the disabled descending on Washington?

[pop goes the weasel]

11. probably talking about Medicaid

Several states have gutted their Medicaid programs, even to the extent of removing funding from ventilator dependent quads (you know, like Christopher Reeve was). And Congress is on the verge of increasing those cuts.

For God's sake, email your Congressperson and Senators and tell them to restore full funding to Medicaid and not to touch SSDI.

Culture of life, my ass.
