No, if you are getting SSDI that is the amount you would have received at FULL retirement at age 67 which is more than your age 62 amount for early retirement.

What are they worth

Yes it’s a permanent and progressive injury

I thought it 'automatically" turned in to regular Social Security when you reach full retirement age?

@@mind_of_A I did that! Now I rent a room out of the back of a random business. The thing is, all of those options and the options that I have had to endure for 15 years and for probably the rest of my life as I see people not caring that so many people have more money than they could possibly need whereas people like me who really ought to be able to get at least poverty income not below poverty income like it was originally stated to be when social security was first enacted, It's just sad that these are the options I'm faced with. I've already been homeless, homeless shelters are actually worse than being on the street! If you don't believe me do research yourself that doesn't come from one source and isn't biased to one side. Obviously there are homeless shelters that do a lot of good, but, it doesn't expunge the bad that exists. Also, after recovering from homelessness from 2013 to 2015 I have now accumulated a small rooms worth of stuff, call me conceited or materialistic but I kind of want to keep the small amount of belongings I have instead of being ripped away from everything that I have been able to slowly accumulate so far. So again, excuse me for being a bit distraught that I can't even get half of what people make just because I was literally born with my disabilities. But whatever, totally fair system! Also, just fyi, I'm on disability for a legitimate reason and the reason why I can't live in an RV or in shelters anymore is because I need better personal Care tied to my medical Care than those living situations can provide. It would be legitimately more humane for somebody to give me the same treatment you would give a dog versus living like that.

Who would want to stay in California ?

@@tiazadobbs7475 agreed, I REALLY wish I didn't have to stay in California. But, out of everywhere I've lived here is where I'm receiving the best healthcare someone in my situation can get access to. The thing is, every time you have to move, switch doctors, hospitals, etc. you have to go through being rediagnosed for everything you have been diagnosed with. This is a legal thing because if you go from doctor A to doctor B in a new state, if doctor B takes doctor A's word from patient files and previous diagnosis, if the diagnosis is wrong and ends up causing harm to the patient, they can sue and then both doctors A&B are held liable. But here's my problem. I DO NOT have the health to go through being rediagnosed for everything and have to have a gap in the plethora of medications that I have to take to be able to NOT fall apart and possibly almost probably worse. So if I can't figure out a way to get to stay in this area I'm MORTIFIED at the aspect of having to move somewhere where I have to go through this again when the last time I had to... Well that's too much information, just take my word; it was bad. But the thing is I can't find ANYWHERE to live on my type of SSI income because I was disabled before being able to make work credits for any better payout. So I get less than the intended minimum regular people get. 14 years ago, to rent a room from a house was only a few hundred dollars depending on a number of factors. But now I'm seeing rooms being rented for the same price my house costed me to rent. I can't afford that but these SAME people wants first month's AND second months rent WITH last month's rent, deposit, pet deposit if applicable, to make 4 times the monthly rent a month, ridiculous rules, terrible restrictions, ect. Really, it's over the top. Also, the sheer amount of money that they are asking for would be ILLEGAL for me to have since these people are forcing you to have to pay so much and earn so much but in reality, people who are on my type of income can't have $2,000 or more in monetary worth. So, IDK what to do because NOWHERE will take a chance on me even though I'm not anywhere near a bad tennant. But yeah, I think me wanting to keep my healthcare is important and valid but I have to move where I can afford to but I can't afford ANYWHERE in the US, I've been putting out at least 20 applications for 2Years now! I'd love to live in Washington, or Oregon, or Maine, or, well, honestly I'm not picky but there are certain states I do have to pass up because they don't have the ability to take care of me medically, they don't have income protection, or other legal protections from bigotry and hatred. Again, there are SO many more places I'd rather be but I'm poverty stricken, but I've been trying but I don't make 1/3rd as much I need to to survive. I don't know what is going to happen. I'm quite scared because I can't see this in anyway getting any better unless we realize how backwards our actions are and that we've had the ability to elicit real challenge that would benefit everyone in the short term AND long term. I don't know but these Western Imperialist ideologies are not working. But yeah. Again, I agree with you, I just don't have the health, the money, or the connections to move anywhere I need to or want to.

I agree

Why is that. I know a girl that slipped on ice at my old job and got 80,000 after she sued in Pennsylvania

Hi when did u receive ur back pay .how long after ur approval

@@nealjones84 I received my back money almost 4 months after the decision

@@ejeter4710 thank you so much for this information. I just got my approval letter from the judge and was curious about an estimate 👍

Never I been getting one ever 2 year for over 15 years now

Your SSDI will turn at 67 to your retirement benefits at the same rate. I don't know any advantage for 62 and you may loose your Medicare.
