Discussion:

Note:  SSI refers to "Supplemental Security Income" which is a form of government support which some deaf people receive.  The sign for "receive SSI" is the same as the sign for "subscribe/subscription."  It means "to get regularly."  It can also be interpreted as "being on the dole."

Note:  Lexicalized fingerspelling:  When discussing ASL fingerspelling, the term Lexicalized refers to fingerspelling that has mutated to take on characteristics of an actual sign. It looks and moves more like a sign than normal fingerspelling. Also, quite often, certain letters are left out.
