CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte mother of five who lost three limbs after barely surviving sepsis was just told she’s not eligible for disability payments. She came to The Defenders because she says the ruling shows “stay at home moms” are worthless in the eyes of the government. |

She had no income, but now wants income?
I can see it both ways, but lean toward no. |
|
[#2]
She wasn't working before.
Something happens and she suddenly deserves a check from uncle sugar? Hahahahahahaa |

I'd say that the states' decision has nothing to do with the worth of a stay at home mom...

Disability is an insurance paid for out of paychecks. No paychecks, no insurance premiums paid, no disability. I don't see why she even tried.
|
|
[#8]
She will now have to pay someone to help take care of her children. I'd rather her get it then some of the 20 year olds with bad nerves
|

[#9]
No mentioning of what the husband brings in nor no mentioning of the total household income which would determine the entitlement ( unless I missed something ).
|

[#10]
I wonder if it would have been different if her race was different ?
|
|
[#12]
I bet you bottom dollar if she was a darker color she would have got it .
Just the way it is. Oh call me racist for saying it , I dont care anymore . |
|
[#13]
ADA should ensure her employability.
of course, the vast majority of people receiving disability never worked a steady job, either. |
|
[#14]
well, for nowadays, she's completely the wrong "color/nationality" to be garnering any sympathy/handouts. all of that stuff nowadays can only be offered to blacks/immigrants. |

She does not qualify for SSDI, which is insurance.
She may well qualify for SSI, which, for lack of a better word, is welfare. People just say "SSI" but there are two distinct programs. (Worked in a law clinic in graduate school) |

[#17]
Its a sad story and all but if you dont pay in you cant get out. since she wasnt paying in then maybe the husband should have carried some sort of insurance on her. Plan ahead people..
|
|
[#18]
I think she should get it if she needs it..... IDGAF what you guys think either just fyi ......How many others get it for fake BS and this isn't fake BS.

What the fuck is wrong with people?
Why would a person who is not a member of the workforce be entitled to "benefits" intended as a safety net for members of the workforce? |

Hell, this country is so stupid it gives out SS to POS that never worked a day and are technically not entitled to a dime as they put less then the minimum in. Then, it hands out welfare to criminals who broke into the country and are committing a crime. FWIW, she HAD worked and paid in in the past, just not in the past ten years which made her ineligible for SSDI. |

What was her work status before becoming a stay a home mom?
Was she a productive member of society? Any criminal record? I believe that stay at home mothers provide a great service to their family and society as a whole...as they raise children much better than day care centers do... So, if she was doing well before having kids, then chose to have kids, then became disabled....why should she not get disability? Isn't that what it is for? Generally speaking, I am against welfare...But I know what its like to not have food in the fridge. Is there a church that can help her? Family, etc?......THAT should be the first line of welfare. |

Disability is supposed to be based on past earnings. I don't know if there is something extra about it to cover the added life expenses with having a massive disability like that. Either way, the standard is that pretty much everyone gets denied the first time or two. It took my mother years and some calls from a Congressman to finally get approved.

I would rather she get it than 3rd generation welfare leech. She got a disease not just hanging around
supplementing her income by selling unofficial pharmaceuticals. |

So, she never worked a day in her life? View Quote No she worked for 9 years but then stopped once her first kid was born. They (gov) said since she hasn't paid in the last 10 years she doesn't qualify. They have kids 10-young and twins in there. They look to be upper middle class and in good spirits, unlike the people that yell and shout for their free Obama phones because they deserve it. |

(Worked in a law clinic in graduate school) View Quote This. She was denied for Title II (SSDI) which you have to have worked 20 out of the last 40 quarters to be eligible for. Her husband apparently makes too much for her to qualify for Title XVI (SSI) which has a family income and resources component. Her attorney is an incompetent dipshit if he doesn't know the difference and she should fire his dumb ass. She is also a dumbass. |

A substantial majority of people on SSDI would never get WC or long-term disability from a private insurance company. In fact, many are first rejected by the latter two and by default get accepted to SSDI. Given that 1/3 of the federal budget is borrowed money, it's a hopeless situation anyway.

I strongly suspect they would have approved her for SSI if she met means testing, but she felt "being a mom" entitled her to more than the 1k/month that SSI provides. |

Above. You guys are confusing entitlement programs. SSI is for people that havent worked enough. SSDI is for people that have. Her husband probably makes too much money for her to qualify for SSI, as I believe its means tested. SSDI is not (currently). I'm wondering if an "on paper" divorce would allow her to get the benefits she wants. Not a lawyer, but that could be a question she should ask. |

Later, mutual aid societies for various trades and professions, and private associations, and other private charities helped grow the non-governmental "social safety net." Then came FDR and LBJ, followed by a general sour attitude of "I already donate to charity; it's called TAXES!" Ever wonder why churches (and certain sectors of the private charity industry) are dying off? Because there's little reason to go to church anymore, other than (1) tradition, (2) guilt/fear of the Almighty's wrath, or (3) intellectual pursuit of Bible study. Everyone now looks to Government as the sole provider of the "social safety net." |
