Are Social Security benefits being cut off to pay for the bailouts?

So, the benefits my son received from his sperm donor were cut as of god-knows-when, but forever, because lord-knows-why. Seriously. No letter, no warning. I wish they would have said something before I mailed off a couple of checks to pay bills. <br><br>After talking to my husband, we started to wonder if this isn&#39;t happening as a means to finance part of the bailouts. Apparently, we are not alone in this situation. It seems that many of his disabled clients have started the New Year off the same way we have- up s---s Creek. <br><br>Of course, we did not expect to have the benefits forever. This was the only money received for the support of my son. My ex owes over ten thousand dollars in child support and being that its interstate collection and we aren&#39;t sure which state my nomadic scum-bag of a sperm donor lives at the moment, there&#39;s not much hope. We completely expected to have time to prepare for the Social Security to be cut off. After all, we expected my ex to either die or become permanently institutionalized at some point and eventually my husband would legally adopt my son. <br><br>What I certainly didn&#39;t expect was for the government to decide that my ex was magically cured of his bi-polar disorder. I only suspect that, because like I said, I&#39;m still waiting for that letter to explain the benefits were terminated. <br><br>On the funny side, Social Security normally takes a month to enact any change, so this was surprising! This is the fastest in my experience and in both our years working with people receiving benefits, that the SSA has done anything. What the heck!?<br><br>We couldn&#39;t help but wonder, is this how we are helping big business? Are we stealing from the poor to give to rich? (We weren&#39;t poor, but we are currently working on it thanks to this and a lot of other &quot;surprises&quot;)<br><br>
