and what if you had been hurt on the job in your 30’S or 40’s and could not work anymore or God forbid you died, the SSI would come in handy or the SS for your family if deceased. There are many on here that think everyone on SSI or Medicaid are faking or lazy , that couldn’t be farther from the truth , it a lifeline that with some bad luck could have landed all of us on one of these programs
