Can Sex Offenders Get SSDI?
Sex Offenders Can Get SSDI
You may qualify for disability. When you are unable to work because of something that holds you back you may qualify for SSDI. Who knows you may just have an underlying mental condition such a bi-polar or some other learning disability. Many sex offenders that I know are on disability and there is a chance you might qualify for it. If you have a mental health provider check with then and see if they are eligible for it. Also if you have a physical disability this could help play a factor. Do you have bad lower back pain? A lot of people have really bad lower back pain and never even think to try to get on disability for it. We have also heard of sex offenders getting on disability because they were legally disabled because no one would hire them. Their crimes are too horrific and no one would give them a chance. This is something that should be looked into but only after you have tried everything! Remember to never try to con the system it will come back to bite you. If you are truly disabled then yes go for it.
We would also like to mention that if you cannot afford to see a doctor for your potential disorder there is help available. You can apply for help from your state. They will pay for it considering you have no income to afford it. Use these government programs as much as you can.
Also if you can’t find a job go to college. If you have no income the government can usually pay for all of it. If not you can take out student loans. There are options out there for you. Never give up.

No way would I hire one.
Me thinks he protest to much!
I Have been a convicted sex offender since 1979. I ended upon on Megan’s ist in 1996 and the judge (small rural county) refuses to assign me less than level three. I turned 60 this year and cannot get an employer to hire me and I sincerely believe it is because I am on the registry. No employer wants there business name list as a place to work. I need advise. Help would be more like it. I live on $180 a week. [email protected]

I find this hard to believe. “Because no one will hire me.” is not on the list of Disabilities.
Walmart is one example of MANY corporations that absolutely will NOT hire a former convicted se# offender. They are all publicly demonized and thus the public has a “pre concieved notion that something is mentally wrong with them. That IS a qualification for disability i.e., Would YOU hire a registered sex offender? Do you want your business listed on the registry as one that actively employs a registered sex offender?
I think everyone should be able to get that chance,it only right if they can hire a thief or a killer but not a sex offender that been a racest I thought we where us citenes to.if you can judge sexoffeners we should judge everyone easle as well.
I just wanna cry. All i want is a decent job that pays a decent wage. Im not a monster. Im a hard working man who did something rotten 25 years ago and i am still being tortured by it. I have MAD construction skills but am barely getting by doing general labor work. I am convinced that society would just like me to go away permanently but since i cant i just have to suffer.
I believe it megans law should be outlawed. It protects NOBODY and doesn’t stop crimes being commited. It (Megans Law) is a tool used to publicly shame and serves no real purpose.
I have had many potential employers tell me quite frankly we won’t hire any sex offender no matter their circumstances for being on the registry.
Illegal aliens have an easier time getting jobs than sex offenders. The classification cripples people who have never touched anyone. This system is based on fears of a society that is archaic in nature compared to any other country. Someone needs to reclassify the non physical offenders. Families are destroyed by a click of a mouse and no one cares. If I am illegal I have rights. A sex offender is stripped of all rights.
