New @justiceinaging/@NCLC4consumers report: Thousands of extremely low-income older adults & people with disabilities have likely had their SSI benefits cut off erroneously, bringing many of them to the brink of homelessness. 1/6 bit.ly/rpt-Lexis-SSI-…
Since 2018, the @SocialSecurity Administration (SSA) has used a private database from @LexisNexis called Accurint for Government to determine whether SSI recipients had unreported real estate that could disqualify them from receiving SSI. The problem? 2/6 bit.ly/rpt-Lexis-SSI-…
