		<description>Bryant,

 I dont think we accused you for a being stupidest.  No, but SS office like to play with all of people who applied because of return money back.  After you got a new job and dont depoisted SSI or SSDI in your bank account. Hold check for three check, So if SS office against you to repay their money back. Make sense and dont depoisted three check = "three month of trail." Social Security always tell you you will a free trail duirng you hired a new job.  Thats What two people say they are stuck to repay their money back to SS. Get it? 
 That's why I against SS office should not fool everyone in some of way. "CAUTION about trail"

		<description>I don't know what to say, other than that you really seem very bitter and you seem to be taking it out on me.

I can't argue against you because it's true: we Deaf people DO abuse SSI at times. But, hearing people abuse their own "freebies" too. Nobody is perfect. What's important is that we're good people above it all.

Thanks.</description>

		<description>SSI has nothing to do with social security. 

SSI is a separate program and does not come from social security taxes. It means "Supplemental Security Income." 

It was set up in 1970's by Richard Nixon for blind, aged, and disabled people who had little or no income.</description>

		<description>Alas, as in "Woe is me! I am deaf!" crap, NOT alias.

To help with college expenses - work more hours or get a student loan. Very few students - and non-students for that matter - have the luxury of being "worry free with money."  I shouldn't have to pay for that luxury of yours. So yes, I do view you as one of those who abuses the system if you are getting your check just so you will be "worry free with money".</description>

		<description>Here is seekgeo.com and watch vlog of his project. he is WONDERFUL! 

http://www.seekgeo.com/?p=130 and here is title of Seekgeo is “Why Some Deafies Unable To Get A Job”

http://www.seekgeo.com/?p=175
My Experience With ADA
 
It doesn't mean I am 100% accurate information and you need to compare one of three issues. The reason why I am not able to find a job almost a years. because of my age discrimination. That is big difference? 

Look at poll from seekgeo.com 

Poll: Job Application
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 
Completed Votes:
Deaf - 50%
None - 32%
H.I. - 12%
HoH - 4%
Other - 1%


My friend's husband could not find a job and lives in Seattle.  he found a job in DC. so he stayed with friend for long time as roommie in VA and his family and his wife have a job and raise kids without her husband. The reason why I notice VA and DC have a best select of jobs alot over there. but not in West Coast. 

 My pleasure to feedback with you and other. Listen of your comment. I know SSDI is good in some way and some way it is not good. Just our delate of disagree or agreement. I love the respected with your comment. Not good in West Coast are not familiar with ADA law.. Eastern possible accurate good ADA Law. I have no idea if it is true. but Compare.

ILY,

		<description>Actually, what you are saying Margaret is incorrect. More and more deaf/hoh are finding jobs and retaining more than ever. 

We have more deaf laywers. More deaf people in professional earth science. We even have dentists who are deaf. Even doctors. We have more deaf people opening up their own businesses and hiring more deaf people. And so on. A simple Google check can easily verify these statistics.

The ADA law has helped provide better communication access to make communication easier. 

I hope you do find a good job. Everybody goes through this applying for jobs and get rejected until they finally do get a job.</description>

		<description>Just my free two cents

 I think Deaf community in any of state. We are suffer since ADA law passed.  

Today, most deaf was not able to find a job after 1990's. It getting worsen and worsen. but Before that 1990's was not established by ADA Law. No problem and hire deaf employee hired by their business. Today I applied so many time and never got a job for nearly one years. I am feel tired of being applied and contuine to take unemployment check .. but two more week left to go..l I cannot get SSDI after I did applied from last month ago and told me to wait to get check in December. I am totally stuck and I need money for medical and bills after unemployment check running out .. I BLAMED ADA law were mess up. 

SS office never answer when I asked her question How much deaf applied for SSDI. They could not able to count it whole in USA???
 My ears started more smoked and **&#38;^%$#! about not able to find extra money. SS sometime sucker and sometime it is good. Nikki seem not understand about employment and ADA. I have two teenager girls. the reason why I am worry about money money and medical bills piled up.
