SSI reds yo be stopped,
Recipients on SSI should be employed.
On my street everyone is on SSI, these are young and abled bodies who can work. Many of then are nuisance to the community. They ride many different motorcycles, aggravate the area with the noise, and just intimidate and threaten these people is in and out of jails and prisons in some cases most of them have a record of some sort, high school, dropout, etc. these people should not be on SSI not at all, it’s very evident that SSI is being used for the wrong purpose. These people should be evaluated to determine if they are still eligible for SSI on a regular basis. These are the people that drag on the system down and the government really need to take stock on what’s going on here in Massachusetts. I happened to live in Springfield and I know what I am talking about and I hope somebody do something about this because this is affecting retired working class citizens, such as myself, with a lot of uncertainty as to where things are going. Totally appalled❗️
A very concerned
