     ssdi

     The decision is written. Anything the ALJ might have said in your hearing doesn't matter if it is not in the written decision. Written, not spoken. What he might have said is not part of the official decision if it is not in writing.

     ssdi

     The ALJ chose an onset date and a specific application date. That is in the ALJ award notice. No lower office can change either the onset date or the application date. So, if the ALJ did not address it in the written decision and you did not appeal it, it will not be reopened.

     Ssi overpayment

     Your refund/remittance has to clear through the US Treasury before SSI will remove the decision to collect the overpayment through check recovery. So SSI is always behind on fixing this. You should call your local office and ask to speak to someone who knows how to resolve this. Not all...

     What is considered my fair share of rent?

     It is actually not vague. There are many pages of instructions that apply to living arrangements. Roommates split expenses using a pro-rata share. Two people in an apartment, each should be paying 1/2. You probably cannot afford to pay 1/2 of $1500 and utilities and buy food. If you are...

     Im on SSDI and one of my children is disabled

     SSDI is for disabled workers and their minor children and their disabled adult children. Your 9 year old qualifies because he is your minor child. The issue of disability does not apply to him for SSDI. If he is still disabled after he turns age 18 and is unable to perform SGA (work), he might...

     A question reguarding Medicaid and how much I will have to pay back.

     If I am reading the original post correctly, you are afraid of something that might happen, not something that has happened, correct? You were an SSI recipient who also should have been a CDB on your dad's SSN. And it took 9 years to catch. Yes, that, unfortunately, does happen. And somebody...

     Tax question regarding SSDI

     SSDI is never considered EARNED income. You are using the wrong term. Earned income is either wages or self-employment. SSDI or retirement Social Security may or may not be taxable, depending upon all your other income sources and amounts. Taxable income also can include pensions, rental income...

     SSI for Disabled parent and disabled child

     Yes it is definitely possible for a parent and a child in the same household to be on SSI. Sometimes there is a spouse/2nd parent in the house as well. Also not unusual to have multiple children, siblings, in a household/family to both/all/some be on SSI.

     Should I go for SSI?

     You have options. You say you cannot do too many sit down jobs because of your stutter. It might be difficult to be a telemarketer, but you haven't tried it yet. Have you been with your current employer long enough (and are they big enough) for them to want to and be able to make accommodations...

      Should I go for SSI?

      First you need to understand the difference between SSI (a welfare disability program) and SSDI (a disability program you pay into when you work). Second, you also should understand that if you can find a job that suits your abilities, you will almost always have more money to live on than you...

      SSI

      There is no SSI computation that involves an income limit and dependents for SSI payments. There can be an allocation given to children when determining the amount of deemed income from a spouse. So if your spouse had income from a job, pension, unemployment, whatever; and some of that money is...

      Crossing the border before 30 consecutive days are over and then crossing back again to maintain SSI benefits?

      Sorry one more thing I want to say: dont you feel like it's unfair that I am not even allowed to see my family for more than 30 days just because of SSI. Before I got SSI I was able to travel back and forth and stay as long as I like. Im not a criminal, I'm just trying to see my family for a...

      Crossing the border before 30 consecutive days are over and then crossing back again to maintain SSI benefits?

      Showing a receipt for a purchase in the US in not proof that the OP stood in line to make this purchase. It proves someone stood in line to make a purchase. Why not just follow the rules? Take two 29 day trips (not in February) to visit family rather than one 60 day trip with a day trip across...

      Crossing the border before 30 consecutive days are over and then crossing back again to maintain SSI benefits?

      Actually, it could be determined that although you are not out of the country for 30 consecutive days, that you don't actually reside in the US, you are just a visitor. And you have to live in the US in order to get SSI, not just visit. What dwelling would you occupy in the US? Where would you...

      [SOLVED] Husband on SSDI, spouse is now 62

      If you were born before 1954, and filed your own retirement claim at Full Retirement Age (FRA), you could choose either your own or a spousal/widow benefit. If you filed a retirement claim before FRA, you were deemed to have filed on all records. An individual is first paid on their own SSN...

      If I could give you a link to the I9 diary, I would. Not retracting my statement. I don't have to show accuracy to make a statement. Believe it or not. Your decision.

      [SOLVED] Husband on SSDI, spouse is now 62

      It is not SSI, Supplemental Security Income. But she can file for Social Security Retirement as a spouse. Has zero impact on your SSDI. So can your former spouse who is age 62 and who was married to you for 10 years and is not currently married to anyone else. As well as any other former spouse...

      Crossing the border before 30 consecutive days are over and then crossing back again to maintain SSI benefits?

      Government data bases have multiple interfaces. Name, SSN, DOB matches. There are times when ICE info does get to SSI. But how and when those interfaces happen is not public information so I have no SSA reference to give.

      Crossing the border before 30 consecutive days are over and then crossing back again to maintain SSI benefits?

      So you would not be maintaining a residence in either California or Washington or anywhere in the US? Visiting the US does not mean that you live in the US. And unless you are paying rent somewhere each day, as a transient, you would also have a reduced SSI benefit because you are living rent...

      Hi does this mean I will receive 1700 dollars a month?

      SSDI will be offset by any SSI that is paid for the same month. So if you are due $8000 from SSI and $17,000 from SSDI and all months overlap and there are no attorney fees, then you will get $8000 from SSI and $9000 from SSDI for a total of $17,000. This may be the only time in your life that...
