I wasn't implying that your mom was, but maybe those other people were! if they were making that much, they should not be getting SSI. I do know people who get social security and SSI, but they only make a few hundred in social security each month and have less than $2000 in assets. I think the asset limit hurts a lot of people. I worked with a family who didn't make a lot of money, had a severely disabled son, but could not get SSI because they had two cars (needed for work). SSI will exclude the first car and house, but counts the second car and for this reason, the could not get benefits. I can understand your frustration at your mom not getting help, especially when you see others getting it.
