I agree. The admonitory and disapproving tone, in my opinion, is
unwarranted.
The person who had to pay an overpayment: this is not an intrinsic feature
of SSI. This is a combination of an individual not understanding all the
rules and a government which all too often uses stringent enforcement on
the have-nots. Why? Who knows? Because it can, I imagine.
The *FR* article with its series of examples may well have served a
hortatory purpose--we all want as much independence as possible--but it was
a moralistic lecture rather than an analysis of what use our kids can make
of SSI to help them reach that goal.
I think the original OP wanted to know about the practicalities and
coverage, not about whether SSI payments were bad for people's character.
