Benefits cut for addicts on welfare under treatment rule
Washington AP reports thousands of drug addicts and alcoholics on disability rolls face a three year limit on cash assistance unless they enter treatment. About 167000 on SSI and disability insurance will be affected with clocks starting March 1 for SSI recipients and upon entering treatment for those on disability benefits. Social Security Commissioner Shirley Chater says addicts can influence recovery and should cure themselves to become self supportive. Congress imposed the restriction last year after investigators found few in treatment and misuse of funds.
