Good points, thank you. It does sound like it would be helpful if we could get him approved for SSDI eventually. I'll post back once I'm able to speak to someone at the SSA.
Thank you Janke, that is very helpful. I will try to give the SSA a call this week.
I'm not so worried about the SSDI claim as much as the SSI one. My brother only worked at low paying jobs when he was employed, so I doubt SSDI would pay him much more than SSI. I believe the most he ever earned...

Thank you so much, Janke. The heading of the letter just says "Social Security Notice" followed by "Disability Insurance Benefits". No mention of SSI.
I will appeal in the meantime, and hopefully we get a second, favorable decision on SSI.
Oh, I forgot to mention that my brother had also applied for SSDI back in 2009 I believe it was. He was denied because he refused to go to an evaluation appointment with a doctor appointed by the SSA. He said he went to an appointment with a SSA doctor and a SSA psychiatrist this time.
Hi janke,
Thank you so much for replying!
I had initially applied online for my brother about a week after his stroke in March. He was denied for SSDI for not having enough work credits in the past 10 years, which I assumed would happen. But I thought they would then review his eligibility for...
What is the name of your state? Ohio
Hello all,
My 47 year old brother was recently denied for SSI and I have a question about the appeals process. My sister and I are his authorized representatives with the SSA.
He has a long history of severe mental illness, for which he had received...

I dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, at 17, and got my GED at 18. I earned a bachelor's degree at 29, as a parent with a full time job. I speak from experience that it's much easier to further your education when you are young, especially before you have kids...
Are any of the above programs time limited? No, although some states require adults without dependent children to meet certain work requirements (or meet an exemption) to get SNAP. And cash welfare (TANF) of course is time limited to 60 months in a lifetime, with some states setting lower...
Possibly any or all of the following. Section 8 or other subsidized housing. SNAP/food stamps. Medicaid. HEAP/PIPP. WIC, if any of the kids are 5 years old or younger. Free or reduced price school lunches for the kids.
Many people would be worse off with say, a $15 an hour full time job, and...
And my African American husband has to deal with daily slights and sometimes outright racism at work, as one of the few black people at his job, and the only one in his department. All courtesy of middle aged, middle class, conservative Christian white men. Nothing like hearing one of those...
Found a link to the article, if it's ok to post:
Judge orders notorious Cleveland landlords to pay $4 million to female tenants (photos, video)
https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2016/01/judge_finds_that_notorious_cle.html?outputType=amp
There were two slumlords in Cleveland (brothers) who entered a tenant's apartment and stole a box with her children's baby photos, and took one shoe from each pair they found in the home. Among other atrocious things they did to multiple tenants. True story. There were a number of news articles...
Is it possible that the retirement fund did not allow someone other than the spouse to be appointed as a beneficiary without written consent of the spouse?
I have a pension fund with a previous employer where that applies, as it also does with my government pension fund with my current employer. .
Well, when I moved into my current home, I had to provide the school district with not just a lease and a utility bill, but also a voter registration record with my new address and a state ID or driver's license with my new address.
Plus I had to complete extra paperwork AND get approval from...
Yep. I rent a house in a suburban
school district, and have a child in public high school. I have to provide a copy of my lease to the school district every year, to prove I still live there.
If your husband isn't currently employed, why can't he watch the 3 year old during the day while you work?
A nurse should also have the option to work night shift
A 3 year old is old enough for preschool as well.
Interesting! I'm a Medicaid caseworker in Ohio. We are instructed to allow clients to self attest that they have zero income. We check our various databases for income, and if nothing shows up, we're to assume they don't have any income.
No doubt some work under the table or are earn money...
