A 58-year-old disabled Camden man said he was surprised to learn that his Supplemental Security Income payments from the federal government will be cut by $980 because he won a $1,000 prize from Arkansas' lottery.

John E. Dodds won $1,000 with a scratch-off ticket purchased Dec. 7 at a convenience store in Camden. After filing an unearned income statement with the Social Security Administration, he received a letter the day after Christmas informing him that his Supplemental Security Income payments will be reduced by $980 this year. He was allowed $20 as a "general exclusion" under federal law.

A spokeswoman for the Social Security Administration says federal officials explain to applicants for Supplemental Security Income that those payments could be reduced if they receive other income.

just because he is on social assistance or whatever the hell it is does that mean the LAW does not apply to him....

that's what is wrong with this country... somebody taking that much federal aid per year shouldn't be buying fawking scratch offs to begin with. They should remove all of his god **** aid.

seems to me like maybe he filled out a form wrong. maybe told them he gets 1000 dollars a month instead of just a one time payment... probably all some paperwork error that will get worked out in the end.

The guy is a U.S. citizen, of course the government is going to fuck him. Now had he been in illegal immigrant they probably would have multiplied his winnings by 10
