[blindlaw] SSI payments

[T. Joseph Carter]

And what if the recipient of the loan has no family and gets hit by a 
bus tomorrow?  What do you garnish then?

If they don't get a job, then they don't.  If SSI allows them to sit 
on SSI collecting subsistence-level money without ever contributing 
anything to society, that can and should be fixed--but not by 
allowing garnishment of SSI.
