    I have been disabiled all my life and on probation do I have to pay my fines and fee
    No other income but my ssdi check I receive monthly from social security. If I pay the fees and fines I can't live.

    Please don't give disabled people a bad name by thinking that you can create debt and use disability as an excuse. You go work out a payment plan.

    If I could go to work I would love too. You got the disability part but not the part where someone will hire me, they say my disability is too much of risk for them to hire me. Not that I haven't tried! Don't put me down until you have stepped into my life

    joy didn't say you have to work. She said "work out a payment plan."

    With the probation comment... I don't think this is about an overdue library book or credit card debt. I think a crime of some type may have been committed that lead to the probation and if they fail to make restitution other penalties will be imposed... depending on the charges and terms of probation.

    If you do not pay fines and other fees for probation, it is possible that you will be put in year for violation of probation and face jail or prison time.
