[blindlaw] job discrimination

[T. Joseph Carter]

I heard specifically SSI and SSDI.  I haven't heard that all people 
receiving social security do.  I am considered a "disabled child 
adult" receiving social security through my deceased father.  From 
what I understand about this (which isn't much, because frankly the 
SSA people I've talked to don't understand this either), MOST of what 
benefits exist for the blind--such as employment incentives--just do 
not exist for me.

Lack of understanding on their part has resulted in penalties on my 
part in the form of withholdings to undo their mistakes, and I am 
warned that if I make even as much as part-time minimum wage I will 
quickly lose all social security and medicare benefits as well.  
(That situation has also gotten messed up..)

Jim, can you shed some light on this by chance?  I can't get one from 
the SSA.
