About your host, Devon Wieters
Devon Wieters is a college graduate, writer, and podcaster. She just happens to have Cerebral Palsy. She is passionate about passing the SSI Restoration Act, which would eliminate Social Security's "marriage penalty," which unfairly counts your partner's income against you, making it economically foolish to get married if you need SSI benefits. This act would also raise the asset limits to qualify for SSI, which have not been updated since the year 1989. She is also passionate about passing the Marriage Equality for Disabled Adults Act. This would specifically address the "marriage penalty" for Medicaid. Find out more on the support government benefits reform page or at welfarereformnow.com
