I hope this helps. EOA (Early Onset Alzheimer’s) is a heartbreaker.

supplemental security income is different than social security disability. SSI is for those who can’t get social security, and haven’t worked long enough or are too disabled to work at all and won’t get social security. SSI is funded by federal and state gov taxes… Which was no good reason to reduce it.

I have car payments, car insurance, and transferred balance credit card payments to pay, besides household bills. For some reason I didn’t get LIHEAP benefits for the central air in my apartment. The 56$ a month less, seems to actually make a difference. I’ve been using my savings to supplement my Supplemental Security Income buget! Someone needs to do something. Other programs and ssi checks have been cut! It’s so unfair. Why can’t someone talk Arnold out of alot of these cuts. It’s bad for California!

Thankyou for posting a blog about my petition.

I was terribly upset when SSI was cut back twice, and I do believe society needs to help society, not’ cut ‘fixed, taxed based programs to ‘help the budget.’ I wish there was some way to get the Govenor to realize this is selfish, and to at least add some money back to SSI and social services. My petition won’t make a difference unless I get a 1000 signatures, 940 now. I’m afraid it may not make a difference at all. I am worried about the California buget and about the cuts he has made. I believe California is in trouble.

Thanks for this update. We have a couple of friends who are trying to work thru the system due to similar circumstances, also with little avail. It’s definitely a frustrating situation and it doesn’t look like there is any improvement coming any time soon!
