Actually, you can depending on where. Of course, it also requires food stamps mind.

And cheap housing, which this area is known for (good thing about a rural shit hole, rent is cheaper usually, though can still be outrageous at times....and there is a housing project that goes by income and all that). It also depends on the kind of life you're used to. And if you want to continue that or live within your means. That's the problem with some people, they want to live higher than their income allows (not saying anyone in particular, but all those people that get really heavily into debt and all).

Also, technically, when it comes to things, it isn't meant to be enough by itself (maybe with food stamps or a roommate/significant other or whatever). It's called Supplemental Security Income, it's supposed to be extra. I know plenty of people who have retired/can't work and expect it to pay for everything...which two people on disability...well...they can get by pretty well depending on how far from a town they live and all.

It could be worse, like back before social security where if a church or your family wouldn't take care of you....you'd be screwed.

Also, everyone I know on it gets food stamps and medi....care? Caid? Whatever. So they're technically on three different social welfares. Take that as you will.
