Maine SSI and SSDI Recipients Are Eligible for Discounted Pet Care

Recipients of Supplemental Security Income or Social Security disability benefits are often eligible for other programs that offer discounts and reduced fares for various living expenses. These services range from free cell phone service to discounted veterinarian bills for pets.

For instance, WCSH6.com reports that Maine's Bangor Humane Society is now offering discounted spaying or neutering for cat owners who receive assistance from a number of programs, including SSI and SSDI. 

The program is Thursday through Sunday, and as many as 150 cats will be spayed or neutered by participating veterinarians. The discounted cost is $50 cash.

This program is first-come, first-served, and you will need to make an appointment if you are interested in taking part. You will also need to show proof that you are low-income and receiving SSI, SSDI, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, or Food Stamps.

In addition to the surgery, your cat will receive a general wellness exam, as well as distemper and rabies shots if needed. Such services can usually cost a pet owner 100s of dollars.

If you are disabled and require assistance in paying for your basic living expenses, contact a lawyer to help you apply for your disability benefits.
