my uncle got very sick and had to take SSI. He had to divorce his wife first before the govt would give it to him.

This happened to me when I got married. And they garnished my husbands tax return every year until all benefits I received were paid back

It is inhumane to treat disable persons like this. We pay our taxes to help our communities not to line the pockets of corrupt politicians.
