In our June issue, the article
HHS Bill: Mixed Results, under the subheading, SSI Penalty for Low-Income
Families Removed, incorrectly states, “Low-income families
affected by disability will no longer be subjected to this penalty,
effective July 1, 2007.” The
correct date is February 1st, 2008. The author sends her apologies for the
error, and writes, “I am really sorry for the families who
have to live with the financial hardship for another seven months.” ![]()
