As Predicted....

[Joods]

I specifically asked about SSI benefits, since that's the claim: 



The article you quoted, doesn't even address SSI benefits at all. 


The article was misquoted as when you quoted it, it left out the linked words "Social security retirement". The article is completely based on earnings and even goes into the fact that a wealthy person may not even qualify for SSA (Retirement benefits). SSI vs SSA are different monsters. And it's important to understand the difference. 

SSA is money based off of your income and how many years you worked. This is the money that comes directly from Social Security funds that you paid into. 

If you are disabled and cannot work and do not have enough work credit hours to qualify for SSDI, you may qualify for SSI benefits. There are several factors they take into consideration with that. 

Sorry Aroura, if you're going to use an article to make a point about wealthy getting SSI benefits, at least be accurate about it. 

Link directly from ssa.gov explaining SSI and the differences between it and retirement benefits.


some bolding mine.

Oops sorry! I got SSI confused with SSA.

No need to get nasty. It was an honest mistake.

I wasn't getting nasty. I was pointing out the differences between SSA and SSI since I asked to see information directly relating to brewer's claim. Your link wasn't addressing the claim. That is all. Accuracy is important here.

No need to get all defensive because I pointed out the error.
