What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? florida
I was just recently approved for SSD after a 4 yr battle (to anyone who has gone throught that system, you know thats a big tado) My backpay will be reduced since I had to ammend my claim from my 50th BD in order to have a chance for approval so I lost out on over a year of bennies. I"m over that. My monthly, however is just below $600. Our finances are little or nothing now having drained everything while waiting to be approved. My husband was in construction and his profession was the first to be thrown under the bus with the economy collapse so we literally have no assets so to speak. At the time I started my ss claim, I did not qualify for SSI because my husband made too much money then, now is a different story. Can I apply for and get approval for SSI concurrent with my SSD to try to get my monthly benefit raised? I am not sure what the income level is for Florida, but I am sure we are under that. Thanx
