@MyGovExpert 4 месяца назад

You can file for retirement and disability at 62 at the same time. However, for disability, you also have to be currently insured, which means you had to work and pay into Social Security five out of the last ten years.

@MsLilBit8344 4 месяца назад

Don't wait on filing for disability. On disability work credits expire. You definitely should apply for disability. Taking early retirement is reduced. Disability would not be reduced.

He had retired FRA back in the 1990’s. He was much older than me. If I were entitled to his retirement benefits going back to 2009 when I then became disabled, why did I NOT get his social security benefits? Does social security owe me back pay?

@@debrameadows6289 Idk who told you that but thats incorrect. SSI doesn't count one vehicle and one home. A second vehicle or a secondary home would be counted. One of four things. They are either counting someone else's income in your home, or they are reducing your check saying you aren't paying your fair share (like if someone pays for your food which that law has changed or will be changing) or they are reducing it for an overpayment. Or if you have another source of income they would reduce SSI. You should call SSA and get answers. If it was SSA that told you that please keep in mind it takes two years for those agents to learn their job thoroughly and they are having an extremely difficult time keeping people. One other possibility they could have some confusion over the mortgage being paid and someone documented somewhere you was getting assistance with housing and again the agent didn't understand what was wrong. I've had agents in the past give plenty of inaccurate information. You can do a Google search. Owning or buying a house doesn't count against you unless it's a vacation or rental (in which case you'd be disqualified from SSI) Twenty years ago I had an agent tell me if I work failed i'd be homeless. Which was completely inaccurate I was on section 8 and dual benefits (SSI and SSDI) Please reach out to SS and see why your payment is being reduced and what you need to do to have it reinstated. No one should be forced to live like that. If you own your own house can you rent out a room to help you cover taxes, insurance and utilities? It could be helpful. Good luck. I hope your situation gets better.

Do they still get social security? Am I? Entitled to that or at least 50% of that, and how do I find out how much it would be? Thank you

I'm so glad I found someone that took their job seriously and like helping other people when help is needed... I like in upstate NY and everytime I call SSA, I get a different answer and I'm told to forget what ever someone else from the same agency told me...but now I can watch your videos and I will make my way to a live...thank you so much for all this help

My daughters husband passed away a few years ago. His family, Mother, Father, Sisters have his information . They promissed to help her get the documentation to get her signed up as surviving spouse. This has not happened as of yet? What can my daughter do and can she get her benefits retro? She can not work due to health, has no income, and has been living with her mother and I. We won't be here forever, so I'd like to get her set up. Thank you in advance.

New Sub Here, enjoying what I'm seeing. Excellent show! I will be checking out more of your video's. Thank you for what you do here on your channel. I found you while researching SSI options. I'm at a crossroads and would like to go back to part time self employment. Is the ticket to work program the way to go? I do still have medically disabling factors, but I'm tired of sitting around and not being a contributing human on this planet. I feel I could at least put in a few hours a day and be okay health wise. I mean I won't know until I try, correct? I just can't lose my medical benefits. Among other things, I am a two heart attack survivor and will be on medication for the rest of my life. Again, thank you for what you do here and your time. Oh and yes to the male pattern baldness cure!🤣

@MyGovExpert 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! Glad you found us! Yes, if you are thinking about returning to work the Ticket to Work program is a great way to start since the whole system is way too complicated. Or, you can call your Area Work Incentives Coordinator at your local office...they can help too. ...hopefully your new work will be looking for that cure! lol

My income is $1,718 a month. I checked SSA and saw that the cap for not having to pay a co-pay for insurance is $1,903 yet SSA sent me notice that my income exceeded the cap so now they want $176 a month from me. My case worker said their right but the numbers don't jibe.

That is correct, you aren't required to file when receiving SSI. If you have any possible deductibles, I would file, though. Also, if you pay rent and are Disabled or 65 and older and receive State benefits, and you don't already take advantage of Rent rebates, you can file that too.
