I AM NOW ELIGIBLE FOR SS AND WILL GET MY FIRST CHECK IN APRIL. WILL I GET THE COST OF LIVING INCREASE THAT BECAME EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY 2012?

I became disabled and unable to work at all; and therefore I recently became eligible for SSI. I was told that in December 2009, the Federal government (Obama and the Democrats in power) capped SSI to $715 for everyone no matter how much they had put into Social Security. I was "awarded" $180 a month, of which there is no way I can live off such a little amount. I had to take out my retirement early and it is now completely spent. I do not have family support and I have no idea how I am going to support myself. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it true that no one gets more than $715 a month? How do we survive? Where do we go if (and when) we lose our homes?
