why aren,t there more jobs available for the disable recipents?

but most disable people are drawing there own money they have put in throughout there life.this don,t have anything to do with tax payer they have to make there money throughout there life on whatever job they are on.they should be glad when you are disable you want to do something to supplement their income.most are drawing their own money the ones on social security.

I think you misunderstood this person's post annj. Those of us on SSDI (but not SSI) CAN work and earn an income if we can find a job. However, the government limits us on the amount of money we can earn a month. Otherwise we lose our disability benefits. Last year I worked a part time job for 10 months - until my health caused me to lose the job. But, I made it clear to the employer that I could work only a certain amount of hours - otherwise my income would be too high and I'd lose my disability benefits. You see if we lose benefits we don't just lose the SSDI income, we also lose our medical coverage under Medicare or Medicaid. If my memory serves me correctly we can earn up to $950 this year and keep our benefits. But if for some reason we manage to find work and earn more than $950 a month for 9 months (a work trial period) then we lose our disability. But, there is also another concern. IF we choose to work, and we earn enough or work enough hours - then they review our case to try and determine if we are still disabled. Because to them if we can work enough hours and make enough money, then they no longer consider us disabled - and we lose it all. And for people like myself who require oxygen, or my medication and inhaler meds, we cannot afford to lose our benefits. My medications alone run over $1500 a month - if I paid for them myself. Basically, the system sucks. But we have to live with what we get.
