K this is the point I had hoped would be brought up in the article, people receiving disability benefits can never have more than $2000 to their name, ever. If they have $2001 they lose their benefits. People working sometimes need these additional benefits to cover their at home needs. The number of $2000 has not changed in over 20 years. When we change the rule around sheltered workshops we must also increase this number of how much they can have and still get benefits. When the cost of living and the minimum wage increase, so should that number.
