Income and Assets After Your SSDI or SSI Award
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- What does Social Security say about non-employment income you earn after approval or about assets you may own or acquire? Possible offsets to your disability payment will depend on the type of disability you are receiving.
If you have been approved for SSDI, you do not need to worry much about non-employment income - such as passive income from rental property, long term disability payments, or income from a trust. Your SSDI payment is a function of your earnings record and the law does not call for an offset to your SSDI monthly payment.
Similarly there are no asset limits which apply in an SSDI case. This means that you can own a house, car, boat, paintings or any other asset without any threat of offset.
SSI claimants, however, face different rules. Since SSI is a needs based (welfare) program, there are a variety of income and asset limitations that apply. If you exceed either, your SSI payment will be offset and your monthly payment will be reduced.
The income and asset limits change every year. goo.gl/mMyfKm is a good resource for understanding the income limits in an SSI case and goo.gl/FmNAdR is a good resource for understanding the asset limitations.

John! thanks so much for videos on how to win at SSDI, my daughter fell and broke her ankle in several places. She lives with us, ( mom & dad) and has fighting for many years now. And my sister is living with us, going to start the battle with SSDI.
Good luck. Remember to focus on both limitation of movement and pain, and how both of these limit her from working full time.
I've been on SSDI for over 15 years, and this info sounds right. Strangely we can get misinformation from Social Security themselves when we call them. I even got a bill from them for $16,000 for 'overpayments' even though I'd followed everything they'd told me on the phone.
No, they will put a $1000.00 fine PER DAY against you, which will put you on the street.
K's Thought Palace I was wondering, How much Passive income can I make while on SSDI?? Lets say I own a 4 unit property and each unit pays me $650...If I can prove I dont do any repairs, do I kerp my SSDI?..
if so, is there a Limit?
@irishbreakfast ll
@Derek Post make no more than 150 dollars a month rake leaves do snow watch dogs as long as you pay no taxes on it it is not earned income
Thank you Johnathan this video helped me. SSDI I haven't had it before so all this income stuff is new to me. Thanks.
That was very helpful John. Thank you for making this video.
Moe B You are welcome - glad it was helpful.
Reason I say after one has been on SSI is it seems everything online says sure, one may own a car per ability to get on SSI but it never says what happens if one does not have a car so one is on SSI a while then finally is somehow able to get that needed car. Is that after the fact of having qualified for SSI disability & getting a car then a problem? Anyone disabled who can drive is in desperate need of a car so it seems they are being punished if they buy a used car for 5k which is of course over that 2k. Not like going out to buy a new 40k car but no one is likely to get a car that actually works for under 5k so I'm using 5k as example of person on SSI 2 years or longer going to buy a car then. It would be the only car but it was not there going in SSI.
thanks I was approved Friday thanks for your video
You are very welcome.
Question on income: if I make a sale for $500, how is a payment I receive a year or two later for REPEAT business that I did NO FURTHER WORK for?
I was approved for SSI for four months so I can make it financially until I start getting SSDI. That is what the letter said. I have a phone interview next week with SSI to discuss financial and residence issues. I have not had any income in three years and only own an old mobile home that is in mine and my sisters name. No other assets at all. Is this a normal procedure? The letter said partial favorable, but onset date for SSI said only the past four months. SSDI said march of 2017 even though my attorney asked for it March of 2016. Is this the partial favorable decision? Thanks!
Are there any issues with Buying rental property AFTER already being awarded SSDI Benefits ,and of course receiving the passive rental income? or does any status change because the rental property was purchased after being awarded?.Would this put me in a "self Employed status" even if i'm not performing any SGA?
How long does it take special need trust to be set or done ? Few months or few days, for example My Mother on ssi and I would plan to help her out because she might win car accident case and she is on ssi ? So she is 75 years and I don’t want her to loos her benefits via ssi so how long does process will need to be set?
Was just awarded $4 ssi but if i paid rent to the home that belongs to mom in nursing home would affect her ssi medicaide so how do i get the full ssi of 733 in Tex
supposed its joint ssdi/ssi can you keep the 39k retroactive payment in a bank?
It may not be a problem with SSDI itself but it can affect if your eligible for help paying Medicare, also from what I read depending on the state you live in owning a vehicle is something they take in consideration if your trying to get help with it or prescription plans . you really gotta watch everything and keep your receipts!
I'm on SSDI & sold some personal belongings [records, electronics used gear] I received a 1099-k because it reached over the Illinois State threshold-$1K.
IS selling personal affects allowed w $910 threshold/monthly? I received help where I could to facilitate but still limited because of my ailments. Will filing a return trigger an SGA test from SSA? Granted, most of the items were at a loss but some had profits over < $400 cause they're collectables? Do I retain counsel?
I was approved for SSI, my question is I had a private insurance Aflac to cover me if I became disabled, I was paid for two years from this insurance company. My case took three years to be approved will this tax free insurance premium affect on what I get for SSI, can they count these payments against me. Thank you
🛑 Question ❓
What do we do with the large back payment they deposit in our bank account?
It's over the $3000 limit for SSI
My mom has been receiving SSI for more than 10 yrs and recently qualified for a car loan but I am a cosigner on the loan. Will she come under investigation if she doesn't report it. And if she has to report it how will her benefits be affected?
I qualified for SSI the same day my divorce went thru. The marital house is on the market, when it sells I have 30 days to spend the money and show no assets, with the exception of 1 car and a dwelling that I am living in. SSI says because my ex lives in the house and I don't, I can't receive my 1st payment until it is sold and the money spent. I qualify for a loan but I have to have received 1 check from SSI in my bank account. I am in a catch 22. Can I put a down on a home, with my children and me as the owner to get the loan or can I buy my son's old bravada for all my money? Trust me it isn't worth 1000 which meets their asset requirement. I know I can't give it away. I feel my only option is to rent a room at some swanky hotel with room service and throw a huge party till I'm broke. That would leave me no assets and being homeless.
Kerry F it’s absolutely inhumane and ridiculous that they insist on idiotic behavior that leaves a person as broke as before. This has to change. I see why there are so many mass shooting in America. Hope and security are not allowed.
Thanks I was wondering about that I have one rental do you have to fill out any forms letting them no because the management company do send me a 1099 at the end of the year
i am getting so many different answers so i hope you can help. I get ssdi and sold some artowork left in a storage unit after my grandmother passed. it sold for just over $12k im being told i need to report it to the irs as income and im also being told that it can be filed as investment income
I would talk to your tax preparer about what and how to report. I would think that proceeds from the sale of an asset would not count as employment income, however.
Had two hearings and received a denial. My attorney quit and I wrote an appeal letter. I'm so confused.
Thank you. And this might be a tad off topic. If an SSDI recipient chooses to return to work, they make over the allotted ticket to work income; it is clear that the case will more than likely be closed. With regards to the medical condition, what will happen if a year later there is a medical relapse? Would the individual need to reapply? Also, if the individual is awarded a winfall; will the funds need to be turned over to SSDI ~~ within the nine-month trial period? And what if the windfall arrived after the SSDI case is closed, are they still required to pay any money to SSDI? Do you work with such cases?
Tina, I don't deal with Ticket to Work issues. When I have questions about post approval work issues, I turn to Sally at www.benefitsnavigator.org/ - perhaps she can answer your questions.
how long does it take the Appeals Council to review case that's been in there for 3 years SSDI
man lawyer up and give them that 1/3 90% of these lawyers eat dinner with the judge and it is nothing but a dam game all about $$$$ when he leaves that dinner the judges pockets are fatter plain and simple
What happens if you get worker’s compensation payments?
I have written two books (Abraham Lincoln's Hanks Family Genealogy) and want to write one more. Is this going to be an issue?
Yep. For SSDI (Disability) Writing a book is an sga. (Significant work act.)
It would be like saying you can't do anything physical to earn anything, then you go and do a bunch of yard work. Which is a type of job.
If you have any ability to do anything they will try to cut you off.
For SSI they take off $1 for every $2 you earn. Until you have no more income from SSI. With a small exception of about $64 for hobbys that might pay a little.
can a person own a Roth IRA or a 401 k and trade in the stock market if they are on Social security disability as long as they dont pull money out of it YES or NO ???
We visited the Social Security administration office and they told us that That Because I worked 12 months that the SSI would lower what my husband would receive in Social Security disability so bottom line Social Security disability is affected by how much I worked and whether or not he gets SSI included in that
That's because your husband was getting extra income since he was supporting you and since you started working he no longer should be having to support you
So if I'm understanding you right, income earned in passively from things like renting out property and such is fine. I'm wondering if this also applies to stocks (particularly anything that pays dividends, or if you just buy/sell them), REITS, and that sort of thing. I would also presume that interest on savings and CDs (Certificates of Deposit) would be okay too. I'm curious since I know you have to pay taxes on interest from savings, and dividends (capital gains tax). What I think I'm really confused on would be something like a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). Since the way you get paid on those is from what I understand treated very differently and taxed differently. I'm guessing at the very least it may raise some questions and potential review (even though you aren't working or anything). I am asking in terms of if you are on SSDI to be clear. SSI I am fairly positive it is NOT okay. If you could give me your input, I would be very grateful. Have a nice day.
Yes, unearned income (passive income) from stocks and other investments is generally not considered the product of "substantial gainful activity and therefore won't count as work earnings. Obviously if you set in front of a computer monitor all day and trading stocks is your business then that would look like earned income. The more income that shows up on your earnings record the more likely that SSA will ask questions. You are correct about the impact of passive income on SSI. Basically I think you have an accurate understanding of passive income and SSDI from what you wrote.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was reading about REITs and how they are considered for tax purposes was what got me thinking. Since you can buy them like stocks, but you still aren't working or anything and they basically just are a way to invest in real estate without major exposure. The other things I presumed to be fine, but I'd rather ask someone who is more knowledgeable. On a side note, have you done any videos on what is defined as "substantial gainful activity"? I have been doing some research on the topic and for income purposes there are two numbers (aside from being blind or something else) that show up. One tends to be higher than the other. I think this would be a great topic to bring up in a future video. I'm trying to remember what they were, but they more or less dealt with how much you could make. If I remember right, one was like 7xx or 8xxish, and the ceiling was approximately 10xx - 11xx dollars. Aside from that, keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative and well done. Thanks again for answering my question in a prompt and professional manner.
Is a person on SSI allowed to own a new car? If someone gives them the car as a gift? Awesome video thanks for sharing.
I have been approved for SSI. I live with my parents and don't own the house or own a car or truck. The house is paid for. I do get food stamps. While these things are true while I was working I paid my parents 90% of my income for bills. Will all of these factors effect how much I get?
Jonathon Ryback as you’ve probably found by now it absolutely will decrease the amount you receive. SSI seems to believe that all parents are readily willing and able to pay for their adult children. They are totally ignorant of the unhealthy relationship dynamics this causes. It’s absolutely horrible and inhumane of SSI to treat the most vulnerable among us in this way.
For SSDI what about independent day trading while you are waiting for a hearing and after being approved for benefits? It is not employee W-2 income for SSDI. If it can be done from a reclined position say a few hours a day on a lap top from home? My understanding is, it is treated like any other investment income (stocks, real estate etc.) being that there is a chance of loss as well as gain. and how do you respond to a judge if it is asked at your hearing because net earnings are found reported on a 1099B?
I think that the judge will focus on the nature of the activity you are doing. Obviously day trading does require a certain level of concentration, attention to detail and persistence. These are all characteristics of competitive employment. On the other hand the time expended is not consistent with full time work. At best, earnings from day trading and evidence that you have the capacity to concentrate for extended periods of time will muddy the waters. Some judges might conclude that your day trading is "substantial activity" and use that to deny your claim. I would focus on the limited amount of time spent at any one time and the control you have over your work environment to differentiate from full time work.
Thank you Mr. Ginsberg. I am finding that all of your videos are very helpful.
Day trading on a steady basis might very well considered work. Not worth the effort or risk. If you're successful you lose your SSDI benefits.... If you're not.... You lose your benefits after they were paid to you. Sounds like a bad idea!
I am on SSI my home sold for 165 k but I only got 111 k after title the money is going tomorrow new home do I have to let social security know about the home sale..
I have two questions number one can I buy a car with Social Security income and 2 how many assets can I own if I'm receiving Survivor Benefits Package from a family member who passed away?
I'm confused.. If I qualify for SSI I can receive more if I'm married and have children??
I'm 25. Married for 7 years.. Have three kids and am expecting my 4th.
I never heard of SSID
@USA#1 !! 🤣🤣🤣 So true!!!
What happens to your monthly payments while waiting for resource interview?
Does it go into the back pay checks ?
Was just approved with a fully favorable ssdi I’m here to learn what happens next...thanks for the video
You will get payment letters from SSA setting out how much your monthly benefit will be and how much your lump sum will be.
I was told that you can’t own a boat if you’re receiving SSDI. I bought one before I settled my case with work comp and before I started receiving SSDI.
Incorrect - SSDI is not offset by property you may own. SSI is but not SSDI
How does it work with having an Online Passive income such as a "Print on Demand" business. You sit and create a T-shirt, or a mug then place it on a Shopify page while they market it, sell it & then even ship it for you too? Only time it takes for you to create a design is from 10-15 min. Thank you❤
Depends on how much you income you get this business. Can't make too much
What is the limit one can earn while receiving disability in 2017? I'm thinking of starting an on business like affiliate marketing. Would it be considered a job, and have my benefits cut? Thanks for your time.
For SSDI cases, the earnings limit in 2017 is $1,170. This is not the same as a trial work period month, which is $840 in 2017. Affiliate marketing would be considered earned income I believe. My experience has been that if SSA sees consistent reporting of income, month after month, your file could be flagged for a continuing disability review. See also www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf.
If you register a company and get income then you are doing an SGA. (Significant Gains Act.) It will trigger an audit and likely lose benefits. Unless you are on the Ticket to Work program. It gives you 3 years with no audit trigger.
So you really need to commit to get things rolling. And if things work out you will lose SSDI but you are making your own income now. Which is the whole point of Ticket to Work.
One exception is if you are in a partnership and you can show you do less than 20% of the work for the company. In other words, if your partner is running it, and you just guide them with general knowledge, then it 'might' work. But that is a loophole that will likely be closed. And you will still be audited regularly.
My court date was Apr 12th and my lawyer cancelled. She said that she had given them specific dates she wouldn't be available and they gave hearing on that date. Does this really happen? Also I've been waiting for over 18 months now and I live with mother. I'm 46 years old. Should she have had my mother and I sign a loan of ISM in the beginning? She said I have to go through her for the contract and it's only valid from the day it was signed. She also said we cannot get any retroactive payment. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi I was wondering if a person can get treatment in a other country and live their and be able to collect SSDI.
My experience has been that SSD judges are less receptive to records from foreign countries. Objective tests like MRIs or CT scans will still carry weight but records in foreign languages are not going to help you very much.
is there a value limit on a vehicle while on ssi? say you get a settlement and you have to spend it down...can you buy a new car for $50,000 and still be fine? thanks
Be careful of the asset limits SSI has... and remember, since SSI is a welfare program any assets you have or receive must be reported and will be taken into account for your continued eligibility to receive benefits. Buying and owning a $50,000 vehicle is going to be an issue.
My father is planning on setting up a trust for his property and his money. My question is if I'm named as trustee along with my stepsister is it counted against me if say the trust pays off my house? I only owe about 40000$ on my house now. I'm not planning on him dying anytime soon( Lord please) but don't want to do something that is going to get my medical or checks cut off. I'm on ssi
hey im just wondering, can you give resource reference for SSDI assets or where you quoting from? The only thing i can find on the dot gov site is the definition of resources and minimal information on SSI limitations
You can search for SSI income and resource limitations. Here are a few:
www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/SSI.html, www.ssa.gov/news/press/factsheets/colafacts2017.pdf, www.disabilitysecrets.com/resources/social-security-disability/supplemental-security-income-ssi/income-limits-eligibility.htm
Can i have a stock account ? It shouldn’t effect it since the money isn’t liquid or am i wrong ? For ssi
I am getting social security survivor disability checks from my husband dying and me having major health issues. I have 2 lawsuits going. One is for overtime pay I did not receive when i was working. The other we will not go into. How will this effect my social security disability? I also want to sell my home and get a truck and a motorhome bought right out. How will this effect my social security. The home I'm in is just too much for me to care for anymore.
Thank you very much for the ssdi information.
You are welcome
Can I spend a personal injury settlement if I’m not yet approved for SSI?
If (my wife) is approved for SSDI, is she still able to sell her Makeup which she makes $50-$400 a month. Its really normally close to like $150 per month as an average. Or can she continue this while waiting for approval. she is currently on FMLA, short-term disability.
Yes
What if he did not have a car when he got SSI but he needs one of course so he somehow got 5k or something for used car then bought while on SSI? Say a relative gave him 5k to buy one car after he was on SSI disability? Does that count the same way as just one car like if he had it before he got SSI or does he just lose SSI because he later got a car to help him get to the doctor etc? Interesting things but is very sad how it all works for those in real need. Seems like can't even buy a car if you don't have one after receiving SSI for some time.
great video I'm trying to start a business and get funding for my business will that hurt my one year old son's disability
So if I trade stock while on ssdi there's no dollar for dollar offset?
No,you can make a million a day,trading is passive income,you pay tax on EVERYTHING over 25k,unless your in a state that taxes SS
I closed my IRA before getting SSI and now they want to know what I did with that money.I paid a debt that I can't prove I paid back.I now have no income and getting evicted.
Will my L&I claim affect my disability fund's if I were to get a lump sum from L&I ??
If I get hurt in the accident car accident and I get a settlement would that affect my disability check
What if you inherited the house in a living will an you brother was the executor of the will and co-signed for my mother ps second motgage after she passed I didn’t know what to do so I paid the bank for 8 years before my brother bothered to probate and he didn’t do what was in the will or the promissory note and I lost the house to forclosure and noe I’m on disability and have no where to live and can’t afford a place to live it has caused mental trauma
I have a house in Mexico worth $4,000 and my relatives live there. I don't charge them rent and if I sold the house they would have to become homeless. My question is, does my house still count as assets?
Im receiving ssdi only for 2 years. Can i invest money in stock or crypto currency?
I'm confused,, pensions are taxable income for federal and state taxes . I receive a military pension from my 21 years of service. Will that retirement income affect SSDI pay.
Not that I’m aware of.. SSDI is not a welfare based, only when you are working & receiving income that will trigger a review.
I won my case in December 2019, however no interview as of yet. Just wanted to know what happens to January and possibly February check?

Jojo Gurl - How did everything go with your benefits? How long did it take you to receive your backpay and monthly payments?
I have a friend on SSDI. She will receive her mothers house, but is concerned about affording taxes and upkeep on it. Can she rent it? Can she sell it and buy something like a double and rent half?
+Lee Goins - I don't feel comfortable offering advice without having all the info in front of me. This would be a good question for your friend to ask her SSD lawyer or perhaps a Medicaid/Elder Law attorney.
So if I have SSI and get a lump sum, can I buy a car, or lease one, maybe not entirely for myself. I'm 19?
According to SSA guidelines an SSI recipient can own a car used for personal transportation. See www.ssa.gov/ssi/spotlights/spot-resources.htm
Thanks for the video somewhat helpful, but can your unearned income get so high that you lose your ssdi benefits.
My guess is that if you have extremely high unearned income that may prompt questions from SSD about whether you are really engaged in substantial activity to produce that income.
michael johnson if you sell things online such as ebay etsy amazon etc you may want to watch that too
So, I'm on SSDI. If I listened correctly, I'll have no problem investing in dividend stocks then?
Stock investments should have no impact on your SSDI.... Only income for which you have worked.
Thank you because I"m looking into rental properties
Could you talk about medical reviews and ticket to work some. Enough to understand the two and how they go hand in hand, thank you.And why only some are reviewed every three years, and others are never reviewed.
I will add this to my list, thanks.
What about filling for bankruptcy. Could they take the income.
My husband lost his leg and job and was just denied for ssdi and he paid into that for many years. Unreal

This was written 2 years ago. So I’m curious if this worked out well for you.
I've been on SSDI for 20 years now and I own a piece of land which is used as a camp that I just sold do I have to report it and will it affect anything if the money is place in my bank for a very short time until I payoff my debt ? Google tells me it's ok to sell an asset and it's not considered a income .
I receive a retirement pension from 21 years of military service. Will that affect my SSDI?
I've just won a mental health disability case. I haven't even received my first payment yet. I have been working short, irregular hours during the period I claimed disability and made slighty over $1000 a year. Because there was so much scrutiny by the judge over this, I'm afraid to continue working at all anymore. I wouldn't want it to jeapordize me down the road. If I continued working in any capacity, would this be unwise for the sake of getting compensated? What are the rules on this? Thank you.

Really? I was told $840 a month period, in 2018 and $880 in 2019
If I sell a major portion of my IRA, will my SSDI be taken away?
I do not think so. However, my practice focuses on representing people trying to qualify for disability. I do not get involved in income and assets issues. This would be a better question for a CPA or an elder law attorney.
Nope. Stocks or dividends are ignored as well. It's not 'earned' income.
I have a couple ventures in mind that may end up paying a substantial amount of money. The emphasis is may be realized. I am thinking about having my kids set up a trust in all of their names. Everything is going to them when I die anyway, I do not know the best course of action that keeps the royalties and so forth out of my name but in my control. (Inventions, several books ready to publish, etc... hobbies turning towards realization.) We are on Medicaid. Will this keep the government away from the recovery of funds from our estate? I also stand to inherit a substantial amount of money as well as income properties. Ideas?
I think you should speak to a lawyer who practices in the area of asset protection.
@@ssdattorney thank you!
Why does my first payments a one-time payment what does that mean
I am on social security disability and I am going to inherit my parents house and all there investments does anything happen to my social security disability?
If I inherit money from a deceased parent will this effect my SSDI?
No.
Is it true that if you win SSI , do they try to keep your back pay? I've been living with a friend for past 9 years because I am not able to work and my life has been a nightmare!! Now I'm hearing that Ssa will use that as a resource and deduct money from my back pay for having a place to live Is this true?? I won my SSI December 2019 and I'm still waiting to have this interview regarding who gave me what so that they can take it from me:(
SSI will offset your benefits for room, board and other non-cash help you have been receiving. These are called the "deeming rules." One thing you might want to do is have a written agreement with your friend whereby you agree upon a monthly rent and monthly loan for food and necessities and you agree to repay this money upon receipt of your SSI.
@@ssdattorney Thank you for the information!!! However, how could that help? Wouldn't the agreement have to be dated back from years ago? I'm so confused:/
Im on s.s.i. I own my home and renting a room for 200.00. Why are they counting that against my s.s.i.? Thank you

Did you pay enough into the system with work history to get SSI at all?
Some people only get $80 because they haven't worked enough. Some get nothing. Maybe they're trying to figure that out with work history.
@@HalkerVeil SSI is for people who did not pay much into SS.
If you can work but aren't then that might be why. You need to be disabled to get SSI AND not have any money or assets
I've been in ssi for 25 yrs. A family member wants to pay cash for me to buy a house in my name (no mortgage)is this ok?Would it effect my SSI ? and does it matter which state I live in?
I’m sure it would kick you right of SSI. Someone helped me pay my rent for 3 months just before I was approved because my landlord wouldn’t help me get on General Assistance. They consider that income and even though I do not have help with rent they are deducting it from my monthly pay. It’s a horrible spot to be in. It’s horrible to be treated like a criminal and expected to live on $600 a month.
@@elsagrace3893 Get an ABLE account and have them put the money there. It's tax exempt and SSI, Medicare, Medicade, etc... all ignore it as an asset. It has an age restriction of 26 though. Very unconstitutional with the ageism and no reason for it. It needs to be fought in court to change that. It also has a limit of $100k until SSI see's it as an asset. So it won't buy much of a house.
There is also SNT (Special Needs Trust) made for a similar purpose with no age restriction if you have a disability, but it is more strict on what you can use it for.
@@elsagrace3893 my grandma helps me pay my bills it doesn't go in my pocket it goes for bills how can that be income ????? Plus I have to pay her back .
Would credit cards count as resources concerning title 16 ssi..thanx in advance..
No.
thank you for the video
the only property's I have is two cars will that affect me for ssi?
+Luis Robles - per SSA, one car does not count. The second could be a problem. See www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi/text-resources-ussi.htm
Where does a RV fit in.? the RV is your home/car?
What if Your on SSDI, and You won at a casino, or a lottery?
That is not earned income and should not impact SSDI
Can i work for my rent if on ssdi ?
Can someone on SSDI sells their motorhome would it affect their benefits?
No it will not.
Thank you so much
My ssdi letter from the ALJ had me at partially favored. Will i still get an award letter and backpay? She moved my onset date up 3 years:(
Have you heard anything about your claim? Have you received your monthly payments or backpay?
@shonda davis I did not get any backpay. I decided not to appeal the onset set, but I am now getting my monthly benefits
@@maneevent1508 how long after approval did monthly benefits started?
@shonda davis 5 months. I got my first deposit June 2
@@maneevent1508 thanks for your response!
Hey GREAT Video!!!!
Can a website that your own points and get gift cards hurt you if you collect SSDI?
I don't understand your question - can you restate?
Sure there are websites where you can earn points for doing tasks and you redeem them for Amazon gift cards. My question is does that count as income if you are on SSDI?
My neighbor who was just given disability ck. He works. But pretends he can't. This is so wrong.
I have questions !!!!! My situation is a lil complicated .my perc appointment is coming up in a couple weeks I am not prepared I don't want to lie but I also don't want to mess up my son's case he really needs his benefits he's six with major severe ADHD and odd hurts himself in trouble with school hyper doesn't listen lil bit in adderol and he gets bad side affects I don't want to mess up his appt I need advice on how to word our living situation and income cuz his biological dad took off years ago and is homeless now but my boyfriend helps me raise him and helps pay bills but we're not married and he's not actually his dad biologically he could leave at any time
How are SSDI lawyers typically paid??
Normally 25% of any retro benefits capped at $6,000. Paid directly to your representative by SSA should you get a favorable decision. Therefore most won't take cases that are losers.
I'm married just won my ssi case she works and has car payments do'es that effect my ssi check a lot is owed on it
A spouse's income can been used to offset your SSI. This is called "deeming." You may want to find an accountant or elder law attorney who can run the numbers for you.

I would not agree that "this is the best way to answer these questions". Your title says "income" and you did not address work income effects on ssdi.
What about income gotten through livestock ranching
Is that income a product of work or passive investment?
