Can you earn too much to qualify. For example...
policy from employer, personal policy, anticipated SS
Thanks

Hi there,
If you're earning income from work over the Substantial Gainful Activity limit, you may not be eligible for benefits. If you're receiving unearned income, you may still be able to qualify for benefits.

My 6 year old son is in K5 and has a speech impediment. His teacher noticed his stuttering when he tries to communicate with other children and then eventually reached out to me, the school speech therapist, and principle.I informed her that he stutters when talking to me, my husband, and daughter on a daily basis.He is now taken out his class twice a week for 60 minutes for therapy. I applied for SSI for him and submitted his IEP testing scores (which says moderate). Can he be denied because its not a severe case of stuttering?

I work and earn about 25,000 a year. My husband has not been able to work for two years due to chronic pain from a car accident and cancer. Does he qualify for disability?

Hi Lynn,
he may be able to do so, but you might want to contact a disability advocate or attorney about your husband's case. They'd be able to guide you through the application process and help ensure that he's got the best chance to be approved. You can get in touch with one by filling out the form to the left, or by filling it out here:

Hi there,
There are two different programs, but if you get income-based benefits you would need to earn less than $1,170 a month to qualify.
