Some might think "maybe it's an incentive to save some money up to use to get back into the workforce?" Disabled folks receiving SSI are only allowed to have $2k in assets.

Society largely hates us? e.g. in the U.S., the top end of SSI is currently $770 per month, i.e. $9,240 per year. The 2019 Federal Poverty Level is $12,490. Disabled human beings are expected to subsist on $3,250 LESS than FPL. #CripTheVotehttps://twitter.com/DisVisibility/status/1099761632077524992 …

This. I stay afloat financially because I'm able to live with family. If I had to live on my own I'd be in real trouble.

Thanks for the sentiment, but I believe your facts are badly inaccurate. I am currently disabled and on SSI. My monthly benefit is $1,327, for an annual income of $15,924. I do believe that is the maximum.

While this may be true, is SSI the only assistance available for people with disabilities? Could they also receive non-cash assistance such as SNAP, public or section 8 housing, Medicaid, and other types of assistance that would, at least bring them up to FPL?
