[blindlaw] ot SSI payments

[Angie Matney]

I don't think this list is the place for a drawn out discussion  on this topic, but I'm curious. Are you suggesting that someone who receives SSI shouldn't have the opportunity to go to college? It seems to me that this would perpetuate class differences and severely limit opportunities for people with disabilities.

Respectfully,

Angie

You know what, individuals should not be taking out loans that they are 
unable to repay nor, should individuals be leveraging themselves so much. 
After all, that is what has our economy in its present condition. 
Individuals on SSI should not be borrowing money in the first place.
