Here they couldn't do that if they were taking Disability because if they pick up a check that goes through the system (paying taxes) or they show during a home visit their capacity to work, they'll lose benefits. Heck, the govt will raid their savings account if they see the money is being put away and accumulated. I've seen the latter happen twice. A viable living standard means paycheck to paycheck according to the govt, and yet companies are willing and able to issue revolving credit (ie cards) to someone living off of SSI (Disability).
