You can't become eligible that way, and it is one of the specific things they look for when determining if you are eligible for SSI. People I've known who've applied for SSI have had a heck of a time getting it because the requirements are so stringent.

I hope that's the case nowadays - finagling the system was likely easier in the 1970s, before everything was computerized...

I have more of a problem with former government employees who double and sometimes triple dip into pension funds.

The requirements you stated still stand, and there is nothing stringent about it. If you have no source of income and "disabled" you qualify. Period. It doesn't matter that you live with your kids making $200K. They also get food stamps and the best medical care you can get. They have zero copays for drugs.

There's always been a limit to how far back the government can go in looking for transfers.
For Medicaid eligibility it used to be only 3 years but is now 5. davester wrote: You can't become eligible that way, and it is one of the specific things they look for when determining if you are eligible for SSI.

I do know one non-senior person in PA who applied for disability because they are very ill and have many health problems, including peripheral neuropathy in their hands and feet which makes walking difficult and doing things even like eating and bathing painful.
They were turned down due to not having contributed enough into the system. If there is a way around the system they'd probably like to know it. And it sounds like some of you are quite cozy, even intimately involved, with the sort of people who would know how.

How do you know all this, Dakota. Did you come over here with a bunch of spongers?
