Social Security to Expand SSI Rental Subsidy Policy – Agency Continues to Remove Barriers to Accessing SSI Payments

Last Updated: April 18, 2024

Senior woman and adult daughter laughing on porchLast Thursday, the Social Security Administration published a final rule, “Expansion of the Rental Subsidy Policy for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Applicants and Recipients.” This rule provides the second of several updates to the agency’s SSI regulations that will help people receiving and applying for SSI.

“Our mission is to continue to help people access crucial benefits, including SSI,” said Martin O’Malley, Commissioner of Social Security.

“Simplifying and expanding our rental subsidy policy nationwide is another common-sense solution that will improve program equality and will reduce agency time spent calculating and administering rental subsidy.”

SSI provides monthly payments to adults and children with a disability or blindness, and to adults aged 65 and older, who have limited income and resources. SSI benefits can help pay for basic needs like rent, food, clothing, and medicine. People applying for and receiving SSI must meet eligibility requirements, including income and resource limits.

Under the final rule, beginning September 30, 2024, the agency will expand its SSI rental subsidy policy, which due to judicial decisions is currently only in place for SSI applicants and recipients residing in 7 states (Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin). In those states, rental assistance, such as renting at a discounted rate, was less likely to affect a person’s SSI eligibility or payment amount. This new rule extends the same advantageous policy to all SSI applicants and recipients nationwide. This may increase the payment amount some people are eligible to receive and will allow more people to qualify for critical SSI payments.

The agency continuously examines programmatic policies and makes regulatory and sub-regulatory changes as appropriate. Look for more announcements in the coming weeks.

For more information on the SSI program, including who is eligible and how to apply, visit Supplemental Security Income (SSI) | SSA.

To read the final rule “Expansion of the Rental Subsidy Policy for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Applicants and Recipients,” visit Federal Register: Expansion of the Rental Subsidy Policy for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Applicants and Recipients.

The final rule expanding the rental subsidy policy is another announcement that removes barriers to accessing SSI payments. Learn about “Omitting Food from In-Kind Support and Maintenance (ISM) Calculations.”

    I am herewith blocking this blog which seems to belong ONLY to JERRY and his exabrupts and racist outbursts.
    Unfairness, lack of justice, etc it is seen and experienced at levels of cultures and in all countries when it comes to steal a penny or a billion or a trillion.
    If it was not for those that have faith in Democracy and in giving an opportunity to achieve any possible dream of living an honest life to those that want to accept or ask for that opportunity how many more brilliant beings and families would be lost in this world!!
    Even in UNIONS, as well as in PRESIDENCY of ANY country, you will always find the bad apples and corruptive actions that stains all good labor for lack of regulations and supervisions.
    Thanks anyway but there is too much hate in here.

    Why should a rent subsidy affect our monthly payments at all? The ssa needs to stop trying to develop ways to cause harm to ssi recipients.

  3. Holly S.

    *NOTICE* if THE OVERPAYMENT allegedly happened in 2020 it should be waived and dismissed. Some all the way up to 2023. So check your notices people. 2020-2023, you qualify to have it waived and removed.

    • Maggie

      Hi holly, thanks for your post. How do we all blankeyly qualify for that?? Can I get back what they’ve already made me pay back by deducting from my current SSI amount?

  4. M. L.

    Thank you for this. A lot of people will be helped.

    Is there no way to escape this crap!? This is a very important issue which affects so many Americans. I am a Veterans Service Specialist who has also been a local Lead for SOARS for many years and this issue, when you know what you’re talking about, goes far beyond partisan politics and racial or immigration ideology. Is there nowhere that we can be civil? God help us if intelligent humans, can’t have civil discourse without all the vitriol. Personally, it makes some of us not want to have any interaction with you socially or professionally.

    Hi! After reading a few of the postings, I realized that I had never been to this website before, even though I could have sworn that I had been there before. On the other hand, I can’t express how happy I am that I discovered poppy playtime, and make sure to check back!

    SSD and SSI are two separate federal programs. If you have enough work history and become disabled, you would collect SSDI. If you have limited or no work history, are over age 62 with no income, you can collect SSI. OR, if you are a disabled child, or under 62 AND disabled, you collect SSI.

    Jerry M., question for you, how do “we grow our middle class society” if we have more non-union jobs? Unions give workers a chance to receive a decent wage and protection from greedy corporations. Your posts are offensive, incorrect and just ridiculous. Your narrow views show a lack of knowledge of how this country started. Unless you are a true Native American, your ancestors came here from another country and were foreigners to the U.S. Keep that in mind next time you rant about kicking out all illegals. Oh, and get your keyboard off caps.

    • JERRY M.

      miss dee: your comments show you are clearly a Biden Marxist-Communist, and you do not understand anything about the functions of economics, individual contributions to work productivity and growth of our most important function as citizens in a capitalistic society, the amount of real productivity per hour, or unit, of work from individual persons and individual businesses! There nothing at all offensive about supporting better jobs, without marxism or communism! Unions are what ran most of our good jobs out of the USA! Unions caused the prices of cars, products, services to get so expensive that people would not pay the high prices! Unions cause high costs and high inflation rates! Only Marxists, Communist and Biden supporters lie and make-believe that UNIONS are good for U. S. citizens! Protection of worker’s rights and the extended development of extensive UNIONS are two different things! UNIONS are negative! We all have a right to work and be in business without Marxist backed UNIONS telling us what to do and how much we have to pay for working! I do not believe you have much, if any, education or experience in economics, productivity, marketing! Your problem is you are a Marxist believer because you are benefiting from welfare programs, government assistance, maybe SSI, maybe Medicaid, etc., which all are being paid for by the few of us U. S. citizens who are actually paying Federal income taxes! Be a productive U. S. citizen, not a taker from U. S. Government welfare programs, SSI, government assistance, government jobs, UNIONS! UNIONS allow workers to steal money and jobs from people who are not in Marxist UNIONS! We have overcome UNIONS and we will overcome Biden and his misleading beliefs from his dad about UNIONS being a good thing! Individual work, individual business and individual rights to earn money, create businesses, create wealth so there is money to support investments in businesses and jobs for workers is what growing the middle class will do! Most jobs now do not require thinking, they just keep poor people poor so the Democrat Marxists can keep lying and keep giving government money away to support government benefits and Democrat business owners who want to use Welfare PROGRAMS to keep lower class in the lower class so they can keep using labor to fund their businesses! Getting all our companies and production back into USA, with non-union jobs, will allow people who are smart enough and who are willing to take a little risk for themselves, to increase their incomes, investments and retirement without letting Mafia type Unions control our lives! There is no ranting me! I just am tired of hearing Marxists and illegal alien backers support breaking our U. S. immigration laws, and other U. S. laws! We do not need any illegal aliens, DACAS, immigrants or Marxist Democrats in USA! We do not want to become a Communist nation due to supporting everyone on welfare programs, SSI, Medicaid, government freebies, or from the large numbers of Chinese coming into USA illegally! We do not want Chinese or foreigners owning our food sources, farms, ranches, businesses! We do not want the Biden types to survive and further implement Marxism-Communism, therefore, we who are in the 50% of U. S. citizens who do actually pay Federal income taxes, rather than getting back all taxes paid in, plus welfare benefits, welfare type tax credits, free food, free schooling, free school meals, free health care, free student loans, etc. ARE NOT going to pay these Federal income taxes to support the liars, degenerates and welfare suckers we have in the Democrat PARTY NOW! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND AMERICANS! CERTAINLY, OUR SCHOOLS HAVE NOT BEEN TEACHING CIVICS, AMERICAN HISTORY, ECONOMICS, FAMILY STRUCTURES, FAMILY FINANCIAL PLANNING! UNIONS WOULD DESTROY AMERICAN BUSINESSES NOW BECAUSE FOREIGN COUNTRIES WOULD TAKE THE REST OF OUR MANUFACTURING, COMPANIES, ETC. GLOBALISM IS WHAT OBAMA, BIDEN, YELLEN, ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT NOW SO WE ALL WOULD BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF ONE GLOBAL TAX COLLECTION WORLD-WIDE AGENCY, THAT WOULD ELIMINATE ALL OUR U.S. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS TO LIVE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT CONTROL AND INTERFERENCE!

      • Wth!?

        Get a grip .. or maybe some therapy!

        • JERRY M.

          NOTHING LIKED A DUMB MARXIST-COMMUNIST WELFARE RECIPIENT TELLING A REAL AMERICAN TAXPAYER WHAT TO DO!! HOPE YOU STARVE DEATH ON WELFARE BENEFITS AND MARXISM! SSI, SSIDI, WELFARE BENEFITS, FREE MEDICAID, FREE FOOD, FREE SCHOOLING, FORGIVEN STUDENT LOANS, FREE HEALTH CARE, FREE HEALTH INSURANCE, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, WIC, SNAP, TANF, CHIP, ETC. ARE ALL DISGRACEFUL ASSOCIATIONS AND REFLECT THE SORRY DEGENERATE LOWER CLASS WELFARE SOCIETY GROUPS WE HAVE IN USA NOW! LEAST YOU COULD DO IS WORK FOR YOUR OWN LIVING, AND A LIVING FOR YOUR FAMILY, IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO STILL HAVE A FAMILY! WE WILL TAKE YOUR WELFARE PROGRAMS, WELFARE TYPE TAX CREDITS, EARNED INCOME TAX CREDITS, FREE STUDENT LOANS, ALL YOUR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE FREEBIES AWAY FROM YOU NEXT ELECTION, THEN YOU MUST WORK TO EAT AND LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! IF YOU ARE AN ILLEGAL, A DACA, A WELFARE RECIPIENT, AN SSI RECIPIENT, YOU NEED TO STARTY SAVING YOUR FOOD AND MONEY BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THEM TO LIVE WITHOUT WORKING FOR YOUR OWN LIVING! THANKS FOR MAKING STUPID REMARKS, SHOWING HOW IGNORANT AND ILLICIT YOU ARE! YES THAT IS WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM A DEMOCRAT MARXIST-COMMUNIST WELFARE SUCKING PERSON!

            The word for your kind my poor overworked peace of shit is nigger

      • Terry Y.

        Capitalism causes prices to rise

        (I’m not anti-capitalism)

        • JERRY M.

          TERRY: CAPITALISM IS NOT WHAT CAUSES PRICES TO RISE! PRICES RISE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENTS SUPPLY TOO MANY DOLLARS PER UNIT OF ACTUAL PRODUCTIVITY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, BECAUSE WE RESTRICT THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY SUPPLIES, LIKE OIL AND GAS, THEN PRICES KEEP RISING BECAUSE WAGES ARE RAISED!

          THUS, THE SPIRAL OCCURS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE MUST HAVE INCREASES IN THEIR WAGES, OR INCREASES IN WHATEVER THE SOURCES OF THEIR INCOMES ARE!

          PRICES INCREASE WHEN THE GOVERNMENT, ARTIFICALLY STIMULATES THE US ECONOMY WITH GOVERNMENT WELFARE PROGRAMS, WITH FREE GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, EXCEPT THERE IS NOTHING FREE, TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THE INCREASED PRICES THROUGH MUCH HIGHER TAXES!

          PRICES RISE WHEN GOVERNMENT MONEY IS SPENT IN THE ECONOMY WITHOUT ACTUAL INCREASE IN PRODUCTIVITY PER DOLLAR ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE US ECONOMY!

          ARTIFICIAL INFLATION OF THE US DOLLAR, LIKE THE SO-CALLED INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, WHICH ONLY HAD ABOUT 9% OF THE MONEY IN IT AVAILABLE FOR USE ON REAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THE REST OF THE MONEY IN THE BILL IS BEING SPENT ON FAKE CLIMATE CHANGE, GOVERNMENT JOBS, ART DISPLAYS, FREEFIES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS, DACAS, GOVERNMENT WELFARE RECIPIENTS, FREE STUDENT LOANS, USELESS GRANTS TO COLLEGES, LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. THAT BIDEN USES TO BUY VOTES! DEMOCRAT MARXISTS HAVE TO BUY VOTES, ARTIFICALLY, BECAUSE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER EXCEPT GOVERNMENT WELFARE BENEFITS, SUPPORT FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN FUTURE VOTERS (DEMS HOPE).

          THE US HAD, AND STILL DOES HAVE, TOO MUCH OF OUR MANUFACTURING AND INVESTMENTS OVERSEAS WHEN COVID-19 HIT USA, THEREFORE, OUR SUPPLY CHAINS WERE CONTROLLED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, INTENTIONALLY IN MOST CASES!

          PEOPLE IN USA GOT USED TO NOT WORKING AND LIVING FREE OFF THE US GOVERNMENT DURING COVID-19, SO PEOPLE DID NOT WANT TO WORK ANYMORE, WHICH IS NOT UNEXPECTED BECAUSE WE HAVE A WELFARE STATE SOCIETY! COSTS OF LABOR AND ENERGY ARE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF HIGH PRICES! INCREASES IN MAJOR ENERGY SUPPLIES WOULD HAVE ALLOWED INFLATION TO REMAIN LOW! BUT WE ALLOWED BIDEN TO RESTRICT AND STOP DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF ENERGY SUPPLIES, SO GUESS WHAT HAPPENS, IT COSTS A LOT MORE TO TRANSPORT SUPPLIES, GOODS, ESPECIALLY FOODS, FUEL, HEAVY EQUIPMENT! SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE DUE TO LACK OF FUELS, ELECTRICITY, ETC.

          CAPITALISM IS FOR WORKERS WHO ARE WILLING TO EXERT EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND INVEST IN THEIR OWN FINANCIAL FUTURES! MARXISTS ONLY WANT TO LIVE OFF GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, SSI, WELFARE, SNAP, TANF, WIC, CHIP, USDA FREE FOOD, FREE SCHOOLING, FREE SCHOOL MEALS, FREE HEALTHCARE, FREE HEALTH INSURANCE, SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, FORGIVEN STUDENT LOANS, FREE INTERNET, FREE PHONES, FREE FOOD FROM FOOD BANKS, FREE MONEY AND BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS, MEXICAN WELFARE SUCKING WOMEN, YOUNG PERSONS WHO LIVE OFF STEALING FROM OTHERS AND USING DRUGS TO DO MORE CRIMES!

          MARXISM IS VERY REAL COMMUNISM AND WILL DESTROY EVER FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHT OF EACH AMERICAN BECAUSE MARXISM AND COMMUNISM ARE THE RESULTS OF FEEDING THE IGNORANT SOCIALISM TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE, FALSELY, THAT THE GOVERNMENTS ARE THERE TO PAY THEIR WAY AND PROVIDE THEIR LIVING! THEN SOCIALISM TURNS INTO MARXISM-COMMUNIST, WHERE WE ARE NOW, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PRODUCTIVITY TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE!

          WE MUST ELIMINATE THE PROMOTION OF DECEIT, LYING, CHEATING, STEALING AND LIVING OFF THE GOVERNMENT AS BEING ACCEPTABLE! WE HAVE SEEN WHAT THAT HAS DONE SINCE 2020! PEOPLE NEED TO BE WORKING! EVERYONE MUST BE WORKING AND BEING A PRODUCTIVE US CITIZEN! EVERYONE MUST PAY SOME FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, EVEN EVERY POOR PERSON, EVERY WELFARE RECIPIENT, ETC. SO ALL LIVING IN USA ARE VESTED IN PROVIDING A MILITARY FORCE, AND VERY LIMITED BASIC GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH!

          PEOPLE WILL BE BAD LAZY PEOPLE ON WELFARE PROGRAMS AS LONG AS WE ALLOW WELFARE PROGRAMS AND WELFARE TYPE TAX CREDITS TO EXIST!

          WE MUST ELIMINATE ALL FORMS OF WELFARE PROGRAMS, SNAP, TANF, WIC, CHIP, FREE MEDICAID, FREEE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, AND ELIMINATE ALL EARMARKS, GRANTS AND FINANCIAL FAVORS BY POLITICIANS!

          A USA SOCIETY WHERE ONLY ABOUT 50% OF US CITIZENS ACTUALLY PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES WILL NOT SURVIVE! GOVERNMENT IS NOT AN INCOME PRODUCING ENTITY LIKE PRIVATE BUSINESSES ARE, AND THE GOVERNMENTS DO NOT PAY INCOME TAXES! THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE SO IGNORANT THEY THINK THE GOVERNMENT IS WHAT GENERATES MONEY TO SUPPORT JOBS, LABOR, INVESTMENTS, ETC. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE IS WHAT GENERATES INCOMES, INVESTMENTS, MONEY AND REWARDS FROM PROPER AND EFFICIENT USE OF OUR LIMITED RESOURCES! OUR LIMITED RESOURCES ARE DEVELOPED ONLY FROM INCENTIVES PROVIDED BY PAYING PRIVATE CITIZENS TO WORK AND EARN A FAIR WAGE, OR PRICE FOR THEIR PRODUCTION!

          THE DEMOCRAT MARXISTS MUST WAKE UP AND UNDERSTAND THEY ARE VERY LUCKY TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE INDIVIDUALS CONTROL THEIR OWN LIVES AND HAVE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS TO MAKE CHOICES, EARN A GOOD LIVING FROM WORKING, THINKING, INVESTING IN THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND THEIR OWN LIVES!

          BUT WE HAVE GENERATIONS OF UNEDUCATED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES FOR THEM AND THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE FAVORED DUE TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS, SPECIAL TREATMENTS FOR BEING NOTHING BUT TAKERS IN A WELFARE SOCIETY RATHER THAN BEING PRODUCING HONEST, NON-CRIMINALS INTERESTED IN USING INCENTIVES OF CAPITALISM TO EARN THEIR LIVING AND ENJOY RESPECT DESERVED OF HONEST WORKING AMERICANS!

        😂🖕

      • W. Y.

        Oh my goodness Jerry. I can Just see you getting apoplectic as you make out your comments.

        Firstly, don’t assume that everybody that disagrees with you is on welfare, a minority, doesn’t pay taxes, is unemployed, is on SSI or any other government program or is a Democrat.

        Before I start my comment I want to say but I don’t want Trump or Biden in the White House.

        You want to make some many judgments on other people tell us a little about yourself please? Your age, your ethnicity, and what you do for a living.

        I would also like to know your education level. You mentioned several times in your “comments” that you are not ranting.

        However any high school graduate knows how to make an outline, a first second third and final draft and present an essay or paper that’s cohesive and make sense without repeating itself unnecessarily.

        That would also know how to use a dictionary and know what the word rant means.

        Rant: to speak or SHOUT at length in a wild impassioned way.

        This to me sounds like the definition of every comment I’ve seen of yours so far.

        I think spell check is probably as far as you go in editing anything you “publish”. For God’s sakes man at least try grammarly.

        You like to talk about how taxpayers are funding all the the welfare programs that you call them. How many taxes did you pay in 2015? Donald Trump paid $750. Do you know what his answer was when asked why? Because he said he’s smarter than you Jerry. And he just might be.

        You assume many things so let me assume something. I assume you are Trump supporter. Do you make over a million dollars a year Jerry? If you don’t? You don’t need anything to Trump. In fact, you’d have to have a lot more than that to be considered a human being basically in this country by Donald Trump.

        All these poor ignorant working folk who are his base, are disposable to him. They’re not stupid. They’re just ignorant. And he’s charismatic and makes a lot of promises that he didn’t keep before and won’t keep now.

        You also like to talk about “Marxist Democrats”.

        But if you are a Trump supporter then you think an autocratic society is ideal because that is where he taking us… and not just an autocracy. His dream is to have a dictatorship. Hopefully he’ll pass away of old age before he can see that through.

        Autocracy: a form of government where one person or group has absolute power and decision making authority.

        History (That’s a course in high school Jerry that you might have been absent for) has taught us many things in one of those things is: absolute power corrupts…absolutely.

        I also have a feeling you like to hear yourself talk and brag maybe to others that your opinions have been published or printed somewhere.

        I implore you, please submit these “non rants” to any publication in the United States of America (Yes even far right publications) as you have them here and see if you’re printed anywhere. Ever.

        You sound uneducated. You sound ignorant. You sound like a disposable person to Trump.. And you sound like somebody that might be well on his way to needing mental health care that your health insurance might not cover.
        If you have the balls to go down to your local pub supermarket Town square or anywhere else and speak these things out loud that you so bravely went about here, you also might need a government program to subsidize your health insurance to cover all the physical injuries you might sustain as a result.

        You’re a little powerless man hiding behind little ideas and ranting about things you’re obviously uneducated about.

        Sit down. Be quiet. Nobody reads your stuff anymore anyway

      • Jerry C.

        CAPITALISM IS WAGE SLAVERY

  8. JDP:)

    Shouldn’t this subsidy, be available, in ALL states??

  9. JERRY M.

    I SUPPORT A VERY GOOD, WELL-FUNDED SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM AND A VERY GOOD, WELL-FUNDER MEDICARE FOR THE ELDERLY PROGRAM! WE MUST HAVE A VERY GOOD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS, BUT THE INSURANCE PROGRAMS SHOULD ONLY BE PRIVATE INSURANCE WITHOUT ANY US GOVERNMENT FUNDS, AND WITHOUT USE OF ANY OF OUR TAX MONEY WE IN THE 50% WHO ARE ACTUALLY PAYING FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ARE PAYING TO SUPPORT WELFARE REICIPIENTS, SSI, ILLEGAL ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS, MARXIST-COMMUNISTS, GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND MARXIST POLITICIANS!

    WE DO NOT SUPPORT ANY ACTIONS THAT WOULD WEAKEN SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE FOR THE ELDERLY!

    BUT US CITIZENS WHO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ARE FULLY MAXED-OUT ON HOW MUCH TAXES WE SHOULD BE PAYING! WHEN ONLY 50% OF US CITIZENS ARE ACTUALLY PAYING TAXES, IT IS PAST TIME TO CHANGE OUR TAX SYSTEMS, WELFARE SYSTEMS, SSI SYSTEM, MEDICAID SYSTEM, GOVERNMENT FREEBIES TO STUDENTS, WELFARE RECIPIENTS, SCHOOLS, ILLEGAL ALIENS, FOREIGNERS AND EIMINATE ALL FORMS OF EARMARKS, GRANTS AND FINANCIAL FAVORS BY POLITICIANS!

    EVERY PERSON IN THE USA CAN WORK, IN SOME WAY, TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHILE PAYING SOME FEDERAL INCOME TAXES TO LIVE IN AMERICA! GROWING OUR US ECONOMY AND OUR MIDDLE CLASS SOCIETY WILL MAKE EVERYONE ECONOMICALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE AND SUPPORT THE USA! WE NEED ALL OUR PRODUCTION, COMPANIES, NON-UNION JOBS, BUSINESSES, INVESTMENTS, ETC. BACK IN AMERICA SO THE LOWER CLASS CAN GET OUT OF LOW PAYING SERVICE JOBS AND DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE FOR THE US ECONOMIC SYSTEMS! AND, BUILDING THE MIDDLE CLASS INTO A PROSPEROUS GROUP WOULD SUPPORT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE FOR THE ELDERLY, THE MILITARY FORCES, HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS, THUS ELIMINATING ALL FORMS OF WELFARE PROGRAMS, GOVERNMENT FREEBIES, SSI, FREE MEDICAID, FREE STUDENT LOANS, FREE FOOD, FREE HOUSING, FREE SCHOOL MEALS, FREE SCHOOLING, FREE INSURANCE, ETC. WE HAVE GIVEN OUR MONEY AND THE SOURCES OF OUR INCOMES AWAY TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS, ILLEGAL ALIENS, MARXIST GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND TO FOREIGN AID! WE MUST HAVE SMART PEOPLE TO SUPPORT OUR GOOD FREEDOMS AND US ECONOMY! WITHOUT HONEST HARD-WORKING, INVESTING SMART PEOPLE THERE WILL BE NO JOBS OR PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS! WE NEED TO ELIMINATE MOST GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE COMPLACENCY AND LACK OF INDIVDUAL PRODUCTIVITY STARTS AND MULTIPLIES INTO THE GROSS WELFARE STATE SYSTEMS WE HAVE NOW GROWN INTO!

    • JERRY M.

      WE MUST ELIMINATE ALL FORMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS, UNDOCUMENTED PERSONS IN USA AND ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS OUT OF OUR UNITED STATES NOW! THEY ARE HERE ONLY TO STEAL OUR WELFARE BENEFITS, JOBS, MONEY, INCOMES, BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT JOBS! THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE IN THE USA AND THEY ARE TAKING OVER ALL INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS THAT BELONG ONLY TO REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!

        • JERRY M.

          WE DO NOT NEED YOU IN AMERICA! IF YOU CANNOT LEARN AND ASSIMILATE INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO A TRIBAL NATION WHERE YOU CAN LIVE OFF THE TRIBE WITHOUT WORKING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE U.S. ECONOMY! I WOULD BET Y0U ARE RECEIVING ALL KINDS OF WELFARE BENEFITS, FREE MEDICAID, MAYBE SSI, FREE SCHOOLING, FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR YOUR KIDS, FREE FOOD FROM USDA, FREE SNAP, TANF, WIC AND CHIP! AND YOU MAY EVEN BE EMPLOYED BY OUR MARXIST-COMMUNIST BIDEN GOVERNMENT NOW!

          SO, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE AMERICANS GET OUT OF USA! IT IS NOT LIKE WE WANT YOU HERE! WE NEED EVERY PERSON, CITIZENS IN USA TO WORK AND SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

          ILLEGAL ALIENS AND IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE LEGAL, HARD-WORKING IMMIGRANTS OF PAST YEARS! PLUS, EUROPEANS WHO LEGALLY IMMIGRATED TO THE USA WERE INITIALLY POOR PERSONS, BUT THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK AND GROW INTO THE USA BY COMPLYING WITH OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS, U.S. LAWS!

          ALSO, THEY KNEW HOW TO STUDY IN SCHOOL, LEARN TRADES AND INCREASE THEIR ABILITIES TO LIVE WITHOUT WELFARE ASSISTANCE! IT COULD BE THAT PRESIDENT L. MADE THE VERY WORST MISTAKE EVER BY NOT OFFERING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO THEIR HOMELANDS WHERE THEY COULD EASILY ASSIMILATE INTO THE TRIBES AND COLONIES THAT RELIED ON COLLECTIVISM AND GROUP THINKING TO LIVE WITHOUT ACTUALLY DOING REAL WORK!

          MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE AND THERE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ANY AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS, POVERTY PROGRAMS, WELFARE PROGRAMS, WELFARE TYPE TAX CREDITS, EARNED INCOME TAX CREDITS, FREE FOOD BANKS, FREE USDA FOOD, FREE SNAP, WIC, TANF, CHIP OR FREE MEDICAID!

          ALL THESE THINGS CAUSED UNFAIR SELECTIONS FOR JOBS AND DAMAGED THE US ECONOMIES DUE TO LETTING MANY PEOPLE BE ON WELFARE ASSISTANCE, SSI, SNAP, WIC, TANF, CHIP, FREE MEDICAID AND ALL THE OTHER GOVERNMENT BENEFITS AVAILABLE AT THE GOVERNMENT FEED TROUGHS LOCATED ALL OVER THE USA! NOBODY DESERVED ANY SPECIAL FAVORS, FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN BEING A VETERAN OF FOREIGN WARS!

          ONLY WORKING PEOPLE MUST BE REWARDED FOR THEIR EFFORTS, NOT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WORK OR DO NOT EVEN PLAN TO WORK, AS LONG AS THEY CAN STEAL GOVERNMENT MONEY AND BENEFITS FROM THOSE OF US IN THE 50% OF U.S. CITIZENS WHO ARE ACTUALLY PAYING THE INCOME TAXES!

          IF EVERYONE IN AMERICA WOULD WORK AND EARN THEIR OWN LIVING, WITHOUT TAKING WELFARE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD BE A VERY STRONG COUNTRY WITH THE VERY BEST MILITARY FORCES, THE BEST SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM, THE BEST MEDICARE FOR THE ELDERLY PROGRAMS AND USA WOULD BE FREE OF RACISM AND PREDJUDICE LIKE YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE IN YOUR IGNORANT MARXIST-COMMUNIST MIND! CLEARLY, YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR A COUNTRY THAT HAS GIVEN YOU EVERY OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE, BUT YOU ARE CHOSING TO HATE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SMART ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A GOOD PLACE TO WORK, BE IN BUSINESS, AND LIVE FREE OF RESTRICTIONS BY A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT! IF YOU LIKE COMMUNISM, THERE IS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY IN HAITI, LATIN AMERCA, COLUMBIA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, AND EVEN INSIDE RUSSIA, IF YOU LIKE BEING FORCED TO LIVE EVERY HOUR OF YOU LIFE UNDER SUPERVISION OF DICTATORS! BIDEN IS VERY VINDICTIVE PERSON, SO ARE SOME OF HIS STAFF MEMBERS, SO WE CITIZENS ARE SUFFERING HIGH COST OF LIVING, WARS, EXTREMELY UNJUST AND HIGH INCOME TAXES, POOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DIRTY CRIMINALS, DIRTY ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND LOADS OF ILLICIT, LYING CHEATING WELFARE RECIPIENTS! THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A POOR, VINDICTIVE CITIZEN! WE WILL BE BETTER OFF IN USA WHEN MOST OF YOU ARE GONE TO COMMUNIST NATIONS! THANKS AGAIN FOR LETTING US KNOW HOW SORRY DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST-MARXIST-COMMUNIST THINK! THAT HELPS US ELIMINATE THE SOURCES OF OUR USA PROBLEMS, SO NOW WE WILL PROCEED WITH ELIMINATION OF THE PROBLEMS BY ELININATING THE DIRECT SOURCES!

          WE HONEST CIIIZENS HAVE FIGURED YOU WELFARE SUCKING PEOPLE OUT NOW, SO WE WILL BE COMING AFTER YOUR MONEY TO PAY BACK HONEST TAX PAYING CITIZENS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED YOU AND THE COUNTRY FOR FO MANY YEARS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR PAYING BACK THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN PAYING YOUR WAY, LIKE WITH ALL THE GOVERNMENT FREEBIES, THE FORGIVING OF STUDENT LOANS, THE DISGRACEFUL AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS OF PAST AND CURRENT YEARS! YOUR TIME HAS COME TO WORK AND BE A PAYING CITIZEN OF USA!

          • W. Y.

            Ladies and gentlemen this has been famous Jerry, whose highest level of learning or editing seems to be spell check, preaching at some point during that rant about education.

            Yes Jerry you sound very educated.

            You couldn’t organize two thoughts if they put themselves in order and presented themselves.

            Speaking of education it’s called an outline, The first draft a second draft the final draft….

            You’re just a guy with the caps lock on talking into the microphone because you like the sound of your own voice.

            I’ll bet if you are old enough to have grown children they don’t speak to you any longer.

            And I hope to God you are not of the age where you are making children..

            If you are not divorced, then I pity your wife. But I think you’re probably divorced.

            You sound like a lonely little powerless man who has nothing left.

            I feel sorry for you.

        Agreed!

        I’ve worked my entire life & paid into the system since 1982. I’ve been disabled and on SSDI and it’s a joke! The state does nothing for American Citizens who have worked their asses off & cap us financially to work. We are making less than 30,000 a year, no housing & they continue to tax us to enable illegals!

  10. Butch P.

    Well Mr. O’Malley
    Looks like the majority are not in favor of your proposal, main reason is that we all know that it will be used for housing fir all these illegal immigrants that the Biden administration is allowing into this country at American taxpayers expense. These types of benefits should go to American citizens only

    • W. Y.

      I’m not a Biden supporter.

      But i do support statistics and facts. And the fact is, there were more illegals from Mexico alone that entered into the United States during Trump’s presidency than any time in history.
      And no that number has not gone up since Biden became president. It’s going significantly down.
