An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass S. 2767 / H.R. 5408: The Bipartisan SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act!

821 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

As your constituent, I am urging you to vote for the passage of S. 2767 / H.R. 5408 the bipartisan SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act. When the SSI program was created in 1972, the asset limits were $1,500 in savings for individuals and $2,250 for couples. The limits were gradually increased between 1985 and 1989 to what it is today. If the asset limits had been indexed to inflation beginning in 1972, it would be $9,929 for an individual and $14,893 for a couple in 2024. Due to these onerous asset limits, SSI recipients can’t have much of anything in cash, bank accounts, retirement accounts, whole life insurance policies, investments, and certain types of personal property to be eligible for the benefit, which keeps them stuck in a life of poverty. The bipartisan SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act would increase the asset limit from $2,000 to $10,000 for an individual and $3,000 to $20,000 for a couple, and it would exclude retirement savings from the countable assets. The limits on assets for SSI beneficiaries are truly unfair to families. They often prevent family members from seeking promotions, accepting new jobs, or saving money for fear that their loved one will lose their benefits. The workforce is also impacted by the draconian asset limit. It keeps qualified workers out of the job market for fear of losing access to benefits or health insurance. Will you join Senators Brown (D-OH) and Cassidy (R-LA) and Representatives Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Higgins (D-NY) as cosponsors of the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act? Thanks!

I saw this on Twitter & this the first thing that popped in my head. The fact she thought she was the prize had me confused. I adopted my nephew, so I chose to be a father to him. She was looking for a sponsor like this the Christian’s Children Fund. Not saying she wasn’t attractive, but I damn sure was trying to have this headache when all I wanted was sex & head. Anyway I’ll ask y’all to answer this question in the comments. Shit was wild. #notmykids #nosponsor #nosponshorship #nosugadaddy #contentcreator #influencer #lifelessons #qotd #behonest #looksnoteverything #morethanlooks #publichousing #governmentphone #governmentassistance #publicassistance #overvalueyourself #oversold #falseconfidence #blindconfidence #notpaying #notpayingforthat #notpayingforyourmistake #jailkids #prisonkids #jaildads #prisondads #lightskinfreckles #purecomedy #shegotjokes #sheacomedian https://www.instagram.com/p/CjWOb4TvP-g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All Black people, with the exceptions of senior citizens, should make every effort to get off of public assistance. They make Keisha (Black women) the deliberate face of public assistance, when farmers get more than any Black person ever would. #publicassistance #control https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HdzJagXmv/?igshid=ufx31ht8zklq

I'm sure most UXers are familiar with Samuel Hulick (https://www.useronboard.com/contact/), who does some amazing teardowns and really gets you into a UX mindset in a simple, visually-appealing way! 

This teardown took a look at the Oregon SNAP website, where users can apply for food stamps. Samuel writes,"Right now, somewhere between 1/6 and 1/5 of households in the US are collecting food stamps, a safety net service affecting nearly 50 million lives. How is this service being delivered to those with the least of means?" 

Throughout this user onboarding process, the user is bombarded with pages of small text and repetitive prompts. Walking through the site through this teardown really makes it clear that this site was not created with the ease of use in mind. Instead, the web pages are littered with disclaimers and confusing links to other documents. 

This teardown really stood out to me because SNAP benefits are such crucial benefits needed by a bunch of my own current clients and millions of other people across the country. For poorer households close to the poverty line, food stamps are indispensable. State governments can do more to make such services easier to apply for and access.

There is no reason that @amazon and @jeffbezos can not and should not #pay #livingwages to all #amazon #employees. #Companies that make their #staff take #publicassistance #deserve our #scorn and certainly don’t deserve #taxcuts or #taxbreaks.
