Changes to Social Security in 2017

If I am on disability, and want to be a foster parent will this affect my check?

Does anyone know the typical timeframe for receiving child supports payments after the obligor has been approved for SSDI? He has received his lump sum check and his first monthly income amount from SSDI but child support has yet to receive anything and is told there is no information available on a timeframe even though the CS amount has been withheld.

If a baby had to go through withdrawal when born from a prescription drug and has some issues but no official diagnosis yet can the baby qualify for ssi?

If im claiming pip can i also claim careers allowance for myself ??

I'm looking for a way to supplement my income. Don't know how long I can work though. Will it affect my social security disability benefits, and how long can I work, and how much can I earn, before it affects my benefits?

I am wondering if I should apply for disability due to being diagnosed with Heart Failure, Diabetes, and a disorder with my shoulders that causes them to voluntarily dislocated without warning. The shoulder disorder was diagnosed when I was 15 and my Diabetes was diagnosed when I was 27 and my Heart Failure was diagnosed last April at 38. I have been told that I would qualify, but do I need a lawyer, because I can't afford one. Also, I don't have enough of those rediculous points as I have not worked a lot in my adulthood.

I read the Listings of Impairments and they have gotten, from my Cardiologist, 4 Cardiac Cath reports that show a 100% blockage of my Right Coronary Artery, with a failed Stress Test that was positive for Ischemia. I was told by SSA when they called to send my mother in law forms to fill out about my daily activities, that I was not being sent to their Dr. Could this be a good thing or a quick denial? I am 50 years old and the only job I know how to do is drive truck and due to my heart attack, they took my DOT Med Cert from me. Thanks for your time. I do not want to sound confusing, but I really do not understand this process.

Hi, I have congestive heart failure atrial fibrillation cutting me up at Sea and left side bundle branch block being on disability for 3 years my check went from 11:25 and months to 860 does anyone know why. My income or lifestyle or health has not really changed all

Why now I have to go to a hearing in May but I have been receiving SSD expedited re-instatement since 7/201

I received cola but my children who receive from their dad did not, also I am back to being a single parent with no child support to help will my SSI go up as they used the outside support to calculate what I would receive.

Good morning. I have been unemployed since August 12, 2008. collected unemployment until August 2010. My last full time job did lay offs which I was let go the day before my son's 1st birthday. I had only received 1 part time Seasonal position a couple of years ago. I have been in contact several times over this time to find out about applying for ssi in early retirement or collect on disability. I understand about the early retirement age being 62. But I was also injured in a car accident back in 2004 in which the joints in my right ankle has not been the same since. And about 5 years ago my chiropractor discovered in x-rays thats the vertibraes in my neck are fusing together. Since my accident my right has never been the same. It has been a good amount of pain and has been getting worse. I called the Connecticut SSA office and all the looking for information and all he kept telling me was not until I'm 62. I also addressed about my son who was diagnosed with Autism and I was told by other people that he qualifies for SSI. the guy at SSA would only repeat 1 answer to all my questions. Which is "not until your 62". What kind of people do we have working for the government and how can I enroll my son AND myself for social security. There must be exceptions to the contrary. Such as parents who make the sacrifice and be eligible to collect since they are unemployed and caring for their own Special Needs child. Thank you.

How Does The Government Expect People With SSDI And SSI Live Off Way Less Then The Housing Cost...Have A Cheap Apartment And Still Can't Afford It By Myself And Raise Two Kids As Well

i get DASS MY HUBAND DIE 8 YEARS AGO I GET SOME OF HIS SSDA I TURN 65 IN MAY WILL GET ANYMORE OF HIS SS LIKE ABOUT HALF OF IT

After a trial back at work, do you have to return your 9 months of SSD income?

I WILL BE RECEIVING SSDI IN MARCH. MY QUESTION IS: I HAVE ALWAYS USED MY INCOME TAX RETURN AS AFORM OF SAVING. I RECEIVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF A RETURN. IHAVE ALREADY PAID TAXES AND SOCIAL SECURITY ETC. ON THIS MONEY. WHEN IT GETS DEPOSITED DO I HAVE TO CONTACT S.S. THE SAME THING MIGHT HAPPEN IF I DECIDE TO HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT DEPOSIT FROM MY RETIREMENT PLANS. DO I HAVE TO REPORT THAT? I KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPORT MONEYS TAKEN OUT OF MY 401K ON MY 2017 TAXES.

Will my SSDI or my Survivor benefit change if I move to a different state.
I live in Georgia. While waiting for my disability to be approved- my husband died suddenly. We have a young son. I started receiving Survivor benefits for me and my son. Over a year after my husband died - I won my disability case. Because of the total maximum family Benefit limit I can not collect all that I qualify for.
Now I may have to move back in with family out of state. Indiana or Pennsylvania are my choices.
Will moving effect my disability benefits?

I'm a paraplegic from Pa and would like to know why that if I get a job and make more than 1000 dollars a month I'll get penalized and lose my disability where as people on SSI that retire can work a full time job and make a unlimited amount and still collect there ssi

My husband met the medical condition of disabled in 2014 at age 61, but did not have enough work credits to qualify for SSDI. He did receive SSI until Jan 2017, when he was told he had to file for SS Retirement. Now that he does not qualify for SSI, he does not qualify for Medicaid in Texas. Almost a year after having major heart surgery, still going through recuperation and not able to work, losing Medicaid will mean we cannot afford all the medical care he needs. We got insurance through my job but with a high deductible, which must be met before most medical care is covered, we cannot afford much more than his generic medications. Since we think he can work a few hours a day by doing a business, where he can work in the morning (when he has more energy) we are thinking of submitting a Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) to set aside money for some of the startup expenses. He does want to be productive and thinks he can make some income that way. SS told us he needed to complete a Disability application in order to submit a PASS. Do you know if he doesn't get SSI approved again (his SS is $1242), are there other programs where he can still qualify for Medicaid? Thank you.
