in Illinois if your on social security income then you get a check once a month. my sister is disabled and she gets around $600. She has to pay her own rent and all her other bills with that. But my friend lost her mother when she was a baby, she's over 30 now and still gets a chech from ssi and its about $2000 a month. I guess it just depends on the situation.

I used to work security at the Social Security office. In many cases,Social Security will help with MONTHLY payments. They can help pay for Reduced Priced Public Housing (Section 8) for disabled or elderly people. But the money goes directly to the landlord and the recipient gets a statement showing the transaction.

It became carried out in the time of the super melancholy while jobs have been scarce. the concept is that Social protection might help youthful human beings locate jobs via encouraging elderly human beings to retire and not additionally compete for those jobs. in spite of the indisputable fact that, the present situation is that the toddler improve era, those born to infantrymen getting back from international conflict 2, is only too super for modern-day workers to assist their Social protection. that's confusing because of the fact removing Social protection might recommend denying it to those that had spent all of their lives paying into it.
