Many eligible for SSI despite ownership and assets
Many people may not apply for SSI under the needy, aged, blind, or disabled program because they think they own too much. The SSI program sets a floor of income and allows certain resources, including modest home value, to count differently. If over the limit, selling assets within 3 to 6 months may still permit payments, with some exceptions.

Farther Off From Heaven A Lee Public Library Biography
A new William Humphrey biography at Lee Public Library revisits his East Texas youth and Clarksville life starting with the 1937 accident that claimed his father. The narrative blends small town memory with the ache of childhood and the vow to leave, set against a return visit. Victor Lasky’s It Didn’t Start With Watergate challenges Nixon-era orthodoxy, arguing press bias and long‑running Democratic scandals preceded Watergate and that the smoking gun tape did not end Nixon’s presidency. Lasky notes residence at Watergate.
