Social Security vs MMJ

[WFO1955]

Great website, I am a new member, will submit my MMJ application after seeing a Dr. late April.

If you are receiving disability from SS and they find out you are a MMJ patient, will you lose your SS disability status/payments?

I doubt it.
How would they find out,unless you tell on yourself?

Use the bureaucracy to your advantage for a change. MCP is a state program,not recognized by the fed.

Do what Slayer says,just play it cool.

My aunt has had SSA for 15yrs now after a car accident left her 100% disabled. She always wants to save her receipts because at one time they threatened to cut her benefit off. My dad had a talk with them and told them to go to hell,it's HER money,SHE paid into it for 20yrs.

From my perspective I would caution that you have a way to show how you spent the money on your meds. I don't know what your benefit is but the way this "chronic" is priced a large portion just may be spent on it,if they have any.

Perhaps others know more...trying to help

No. I am caregiver to two women that get SS disability. They won't mess with your checks.

Just don't expect them to pay for your meds.

Thanks for the input,nice avatar!

There is no way the fed will pay for a person to use Cannabis.

Perhaps also I should clarify that you need to be able to justify the $ spent on meds in a legit way.

From my observations you just have to say F em and stand tall.I don't believe they'll take your money but they sure as hell may try,nothing to do with Cannabis.

You guys misunderstood my question. I never mentioned the SS paying for my buds. The question stands; Can SS cut your disability if they find out that you are a MMJ card holder?

I did answer your question.Scroll up.
