Judge Judy and SSDI
I was bored & tired and didn't feel like changing the channel when Judge Judy came on so I got interested in this one case she was hearing. The lady was on SSDI for Bi Polar and PTSD. Judge Judy asked how she paid her bills and she said that she paid them from her SSDI. To which Judge Judy's response was "oh, the taxpayers foot the bill for you".
Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought that SSDI was based on what you've earned and contributed all your working life. If you haven't worked and contributed to the SS system then you cannot collect SSDI. Am I wrong? Is Judge Judy just a you-know-what?
