SSDI is not sufficient when cost of living factors constantly increase, IRS taxes these benefits, and applicants are unable to find alternative work supplements. Example for one:

SSDI $837

Rents - $500 AVG (Colorado)

Util Cost - $250 (Not included in Rent)

Medicare - $99

Income Tax (15%)

This leaves - 837-250-99 - 488

Medications - 40

Gap Insurance - 170

Public Transportation Cost - 150

Income Tax 126

Negative Balance (1.00)

Consumer has not even purchased food

Keep in mind candidate is not eligible for other Public assistance as the blind person makes too much money with $837 SSDI

Please tell me why SSDI is not enough? Is the disabled consumer wasting money on foolish living where there is not enough at the end of the day to even purchase food.

We work our whole lives and then what we pay in is not even accounted for over the entire process we are denied access to 30 of 40 years of work. What part of fair is this?

SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) provides income based on an individual's previous earnings, but its benefit amount is typically lower than what one would earn from working. Additionally, the cost of living, including expenses like housing, healthcare, and food, varies widely across different regions. These factors, coupled with the fact that disability-related expenses can be high, such as medical bills and specialized equipment, often make it challenging to solely rely on SSDI as a sufficient income source.
