He adds that this cut would apply even to families that have incomes below the poverty level in the US.

“This would mean cutting the benefits of some lower-income SSI recipients up to a third […] or eliminating their support entirely,” it adds.

The report tells the story of Shy'tyra Burton, 22 years old, who was born two months prematurely into a poor family in Philadelphia, can't breathe or ingest food without tubes and must see the doctor regularly.

His case is a clear example of the help he requires from federal programs to survive, even despite his efforts to finish special education in high school and au nthat she tried to look for a job, she was not considered qualified for it, so a judge authorized her entry into the monthly aid program which now could be cut up to $300 dollars.

The reason for the federal cuts are alleged fraud that the Trump administration accuses, which will lead to modify various aid programs.

In a first attempt cuts driven by White House budget director, Russell Vought, and Social Security Commissioner, Frank Bisignano, was suspended after ProPublica r will reveal his intentions, but now disability programs are at risk, as they are administered by the Social Insurance Administration, but are independent of the retirement program.

It is estimated that there are 400,000 poor, disabled and elderly indigent people who could be affected by the Trump administration's plan, of which 13% are Hispanic, according to official statistics.

Despite allegations of fraud, SSI is one of the most difficult programs for families to access, due to the requirements and research that accompanies the process.

In fact, of the 7.5 million Americans with severe disabilities that prevent them from working, only a low percentage can obtain the benefit, through a process that lasts years.
