4) Overpayment/Cessation - It is loving criminal to re-evaluate people and find them not disabled after spending three years of their lives fighting for benefits. To then on top of that ask them to give you the money back when you know they can't work is that much worse. If you think someone defrauded you, take them to a criminal hearing and see how great your proof holds up when the deck is not stacked 100% in your favor.

Every other year my sister, who's on SSI, gets a letter saying they hosed up and overpayed her by x amount and now she owes some insane amount of payback. Then she has to go collect all her receipts to prove to some government agency that she has no means to pay it back.

Also, I will never understand SSI's bizarre policies on assets. It basically penalizing anybody that tries to work their way off of SSI. Anybody that manages to save some of their piddly $800 a month living allowance should be applauded.
