MY MENTALLY RETARDED 10 YEAR OLD SON RECEIVES SSI AND JUST THIS
MONTH I
GOT A LETTER FROM SOCIAL SECURITY THAT HIS PAYMENT FOR DECEMBER
WOULD BE
REDUCED 80 DOLLARS DUE TO AN ADVANCED CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT I
RECEIVED
FROM HIS DAD A MONTH EARLY BECAUSE HIS DAD WAS GOING ON VACATION.
MY
QUESTION? WILL MY SONS FUTURE PAYMENTS GO BACK TO THE NORMAL
PAYMENT?

Why don't you ask THEM?
Anyway, it really shouldn't matter because regardless of how much
money you get, either way it's all FREE!

Chris, if you had any notion of how much money, time and energy it
takes to look after a handicapped child, you wouldn't be so quick to
criticize her.

This country needs a decent health care program so that $80 is not a
major concern for struggling families!
How about daycare support for working parents too that a can't afford
the staggering costs of private daycare centers?

There needs to be some form of assistance for parents of severely
handicapped children but NOT from social security. This actually should
be handled by a local agency instead of the bureaucratic nightmare of
the federal government. The larger the government gets, the worse of a
job it does.
Taxing those who chose to remain childless to pay for things like
daycare for those who chose to breed is unfair. Only those who chose to
bring children into the world should be paying the costs of children.
Thirdly, the government is the best place to screw up anything. If
anyone thinks the health care in the US is bad now, just let the
government have control of it for a few years. $300 hammers will be
nothing compared to the cost of medical supplies and equipment after the
government gets through with it plus the idea is that if the gov't is
paying for your medical treatment, it'll also demand you endure their
choices of lifestyle, treatment, physicians and medications, perhaps
even where one lives and/or works, etc., or no health benefit for
failing to follow the gov't's mandate... "for your own good", of course.
