What if God is not on my schedule.

More than half of Americans currently live paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford even a small problem with the car. There is no money to save.

Exactly! My brother passed away at 61 yrs & 2 months. It breaks my heart that he never got to enjoy a single day of retirement. I am DEFINITELY taking early retirement next year at 62!!

more like a good option... Investing is the way out, rather than sitting and waiting for soc sec.

Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message.

@@terrallcoscarelli7002 why you have a little boy on you profile ?

@@cynthg9547 my son!!!

Welfare??? R U kiddin' me?? You busted your A## your whole life working, that money is yours!!! You R Entitled!!! You earned it!! I sometimes get that welfare feelin myself only major difference is I'm a 100% P&T Disabled veteran and sometimes feel like do I deserve whatever compensation I receive..

If you worked for 40 yrs you have paid enough FICA. You are not getting SSI. The benefits you're receiving from SSA is SSDI or Social Security Disability Insurance (paid through your FICA contributions).

My adopted daughter drew SS until she was 18. Her bio dad died when she was 4. Even though she was adopted Sshe still got a check. She just got approved for SSI bc of being born with FAS. I want to know if she can draw s s from her dad’s work he paid in. That is the reason she got the check before. She is 24 now

@@cindygirtman4441 I'm sorry to hear about the situation. I'm glad your adopted daughter is drawing Social Security on her father's work record instead of SSI. It's way better and she keeps Medicaid and have Medicare.

How much does it cost ? Thank you

@@biffagump8B It doesn't cost anything out of pocket. Their fee comes out of your back pay from your disability back pay. The social security administration will only allow them to take a certain amount. They do not get paid unless you get your disability. I was turned down the 1st time we applied but Citizen's disability with my approval applied again right away. I went to their doctor ( my choice) and was approved the second time around. This was lucky for me many have to apply a 3rd time before approval. I am told almost everyone is turned down the 1st time. I didn't pay anymore for this. Citizen disability tells you up front how much you will pay. You never have to pay out of pocket it comes out of your lump sum. After this you receive monthly payments. You need to know how much you can make if you ever try to work part time. This way u will not loose your disability. Each person's monthly pay is different for their condition. Hope this helps.

If you're getting ssi but I rather get ssdi because ssdi pays more benefits

@@ejones6647 I was given the balance of SSI and then put on SSDI so I do get more. I have now both Medicare and Medicaid for health Ins. which I was told by SS that Medicare is my main provider and the Medicaid Ins. will be used as supplemental ins. All good. I was just refunded my payment for Medicare too because Medicaid is paying for it. This is something new they did.

Does she matter when it comes to getting ssdi?

Thank you Yolanda!

Thanks for informing me of everything

How much did they charge you ? You sound like a bot.

No lawyer would take that false case on.

It’s SSI and, SSA stands for The Social Security Administration, SSA is not referred to as a benefit, SS refers to those who receive Social Security Monthly Benefits.

I am aware of what SSA stands for. I see my comment was confusing to you. 🙏🏿💕🙏🏿 The United States Social Security Administration (SSA)[2] is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability and survivor benefits.

Otherwise benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are given based on need

Hi, you would need to reach out to Social Security as they are the ones who handle payments and would be able to assist you with this matter.

Hi Rosy! There are two programs that people commonly think of as ‘Social Security Disability.’ They’re called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The two programs have the same medical requirements for what makes a person disabled, so the major difference between them is the non-medical requirements. SSDI is based on the taxes you paid into Social Security while working. To be eligible for SSDI, a person must have worked full time for at least 5 of the last 10 years at a job that paid Social Security taxes. SSI is a need-based program, so anyone who is disabled can be eligible if they fall below a certain amount of assets.

Hi, and thank you for commenting. The total amount of retroactive payments may go back to the date that someone became disabled, and it depends, in part, on the disability application date. Please reach out to your local SSA office directly for more information.

@@eugeneallison7457 Thank you for the information, I really appreciate your response.

I believe you apply for SSDI first. If you're denied you file an appeal and will be able to apply for SSI. I saved every single Dr's visit and mail from my medical provider/s. I finally got approved, took four months. Make sure you keep your mail organized and have an active phone number because they will call and let you know you're approved. but for sure make sure you file a appeal when prompted.

@@tylerdonald6050 I was approved for SSDI beginning of February this year… took around four months. I completed the process on my own without any problems or issues. I had post beneficiary meeting few weeks ago with SSA to review the back SSDI pay. I’m very thankful to be approved so quickly… sadly I’m struggling with Parkinson’s, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

Hi Nicole, you need to meet certain medical and nonmedical requirements to be eligible for SSDI. It is possible to be denied for not meeting the nonmedical requirement. This is rare after being medically approved, but it can happen. Social Security has many factors they take into consideration. I would reach out to them as they would have more information on the nonmedical requirements.

@@CitizensDisability If I got approved for ssdi then should I apply for ssi? I got my favorable decision letter for ssdi and two days later they send me a letter saying they need to do a non medical update to see if I qualify for SSI benefits. I feel like ssdi is good enough for me, plus I heard that you don't get a lump sum for ssi and I also heard that ssi can check my bank account. I need the lump sum because I don't want to be homeless again and I don't want ssi checking my bank account any time they want. Would I get more monthly benefits if I got concurrent benifits and would I get more back pay?

Can I call you please or you or you can call me I never got that retroactive money please my computer doesn't work thank you. Hope

Hi Andrew! SSA has several different programs including SSDI, SSI, and retirement. Eligibility for the different programs depends on many different factors. For more information, I would reach out to your local SSA office.

That is great question! You may want to talk to social workers, medical, or ssa professionals. I'm sure there are programs available.

Also consider looking into life insurance. Many people have these same worries and want to make sure their families are safe when they are gone. Life insurance will help, so much, look into it.

Thank you for the people who took the time to respond to my question.
