Receiving SSD benefits can I sell my Life Insurance Policy and still receive SSD benefits

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Receiving SSD benefits can I sell my Life Insurance Policy and still receive SSD benefits. I am Stage IV Colon Cancer who receives ongoing, most likely the rest of my life, chemotherapy treatments and unable to work. Can I sell my Life Insurance policy to pay off bills and still receive SSD? Do I have to include that as income on my taxes?

childrens benefits

My ex wife receives benefits for herself and my son. My son has decided he wants to live with me fulltime. I did not request child support from my ex through domestic relations. My ex is still receiving benefits for my son and I was told I should apply to be payee now, because the dependent benefits should follow the child. Can anyone help me with this? Is this true?

Backpay involving LTD

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I have a situation I'm not really sure about. I was denied ssdi but approved for my LTD claim through my employer after sending them proof the ssdi was denied. Due to a 2 year limit on mental health in that policy, the LTD stopped after 2 years. Just before the end of that 2 years, I reapplied for ssdi (new case) because the condition had only worsened. Now we have obtained an attorney and FINALLY after 2 more years have a hearing coming up in a couple weeks.

Received a large sum back payment two months ago but no letter.

I receive SSDI and back in August I received a lump sum payment of $6,460 from SSA TREAS 310. I waited a month to spend it in case it was a mistake or if a letter came but no letters ever came saying if it was a back payment or if it was back pay.

Rent came due and I had to dip into the money I was sent to help pay rent, buy groceries, clothes for work, etc. I just checked my payment history and the large payment that was listed before is now gone. I have received other large back payments as well and those payments aren't in my payment history either.
