I need to know if I collect on his record if I already collect my own? He is deceased (2020) Covid related. We were married 40 years, but separated
@@pamelawashington6289
With SS you are even married or not. Doesn't matter if living separate. You'll need to talk to SS to see which direction would be the largest check.
Is you buy a supplement with some benefits can they change the next year?
Multivitamins and supplements are just a racket.
23:29 my wife hasn't worked and dosen't have enough credit s will she get all my benefits 😅
My complaint is that the cap is way too low! Well below living standards.
20k is ridiculous, to stay in step with cola and inflation is should be 100k so seniors can actually survive.
Thanks for the comment.
Help I agree on because of inflation ..It needs to adjust also❤
I barely get $700/month. And yes i get told to live on that. Oh well . Thats what a senior citizen who owns her home gets. Was told i should not have paid off my house.
@@debrameadows6289 reverse mortgage… it’s an option
@@debrameadows6289
Idk who told you that but thats incorrect. SSI doesn't count one vehicle and one home. A second vehicle or a secondary home would be counted.
One of four things. They are either counting someone else's income in your home, or they are reducing your check saying you aren't paying your fair share (like if someone pays for your food which that law has changed or will be changing) or they are reducing it for an overpayment. Or if you have another source of income they would reduce SSI.
You should call SSA and get answers.
If it was SSA that told you that please keep in mind it takes two years for those agents to learn their job thoroughly and they are having an extremely difficult time keeping people.
One other possibility they could have some confusion over the mortgage being paid and someone documented somewhere you was getting assistance with housing and again the agent didn't understand what was wrong. I've had agents in the past give plenty of inaccurate information.
You can do a Google search. Owning or buying a house doesn't count against you unless it's a vacation or rental (in which case you'd be disqualified from SSI)
Twenty years ago I had an agent tell me if I work failed i'd be homeless. Which was completely inaccurate I was on section 8 and dual benefits (SSI and SSDI)
Please reach out to SS and see why your payment is being reduced and what you need to do to have it reinstated. No one should be forced to live like that.
If you own your own house can you rent out a room to help you cover taxes, insurance and utilities? It could be helpful.
Good luck. I hope your situation gets better.
This man is the real deal. We forget to check but he didn’t. God Bless you ❤
Thank you so much, and thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment.
I just turned 69. I may be going back to work and making more than ever. Thanks for letting me know about suspending Retirement so I can get the extra.
@@debgoza1630 you can make so much money n still getting your social security

Awesome!!!

Thank you. Take care yourself and have an awesome weekend.
You are a Godsend. My head is spinning with the problems I’m having. I can’t even talk about right now. I will soon. Need help😢
Mr. Ed thanks for giving the information people's with problems with SSD AND SSI AND SSA. People's need lots of help with SSA .Wanted to say thank you for all your help. Thanks again.
So nice of you! Thank you so much!
Married for 15 years .he passed at 50yrs old I went on disability 4 months after they said I couldn't get any monies on his name is this true
I agree cola needs to be cost of living plus 2%
Well, there's two of us
They'd just cut benefits saying it's broke.
Thank you. 🙏🏼 ❤. You are a great resource. Followed your advise and filed a 561. Within one day they acknowledged my claim and solved the problem. Chuck
That is so awesome. I like it when a plan comes together!!
Mr Ed thank you from the bottom of my heart for ALL t.hat you do for everyone. God will have a special place for you in heaven. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
You are SO WELCOME!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! More videos to come!
Doc, I was on VA disability when they penalized me the 200 a month. Everything was covered by VA. ? Ty so much. I will subscribe
I just stumbled upon your channel and I'm so glad I found you. My most pressing question is on medical. I retired frim the State and quaified fir their medical insurance coverage which comes free with my retirement benefit. My husband, in the ither hand, has no State benefit. However, I am being charged extra for my health care coverage while my husband gets more coverage witjout additiona premium payment! Is my State benefit a disadvantage in this instance? What should I do?
This information is the most reliable one. I was able to educate my friends and family thru your channel. Thank you
Awesome. That's exactly what I like to hear. More people out there, helping their communities. Thank you so much!
I just came across your channel and I can say you are God sent...I have done good so far on my part.. but SSA had made many mistakes and they keep on making them. I'm so glad I found someone that took their job seriously and like helping other people when help is needed... I like in upstate NY and everytime I call SSA, I get a different answer and I'm told to forget what ever someone else from the same agency told me...but now I can watch your videos and I will make my way to a live...thank you so much for all this help
Awesome. So glad I could help. A lot more videos to come.
Thank you. My husband collects his SS next year, and he was in the military. So good info.
❤THEY KEEP TELLING ME I DONT NEED TO FILE TAX LAST 3 YEARS. ON SSI...DONT GET ENOUGH...??? YET GET THE FORMS...THANK YOU...FOR YOUR HELP...
That is correct, you aren't required to file when receiving SSI. If you have any possible deductibles, I would file, though. Also, if you pay rent and are Disabled or 65 and older and receive State benefits, and you don't already take advantage of Rent rebates, you can file that too.
Awesome site. First time watching. Every interesting. I just forwarded the site to seniors who already receive benefits to ensure they are fully aware of their options. Thank you!!
You are TOO AWESOME! Thank you for looking out for those around you!
Dr. Ed, my husband and I were 60 yrs. when he passed away, I continued working. Received partial survival benefits, was told if I wait to file for SS when I reach 70, I would receive a certain amount. I waited, only to receive half.
Thanks I was married for 15 years and thought I could not collect on 1st marriage because I remarried!
If you're now single, you certainly can.
i’m on disability for mental abilities and i’m also sick 🤢 my son is handicapped and we both get around $900 it’s insane we are barely eating and i love how they call my car a luxury when between 21 doctors !!!! they give us $30 cola and i don’t want it cause they take our foodstamps and fuel assistance and our rent goes up
Thank you. I am 64 this year, and I am planning to wait until at least full retirement of 67. I work online, where my income is enough to live on, so I think of my SS as an investment earning 8 percent interest per year. I fully enjoy the SSA online site. It’s very well done and allows me to track my benefits. I may consider part-time work to get healthcare coverage at 65.
Thank you sir, Semper Fi 🇺🇲
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge!!
My pleasure
Thank you for this video. I educate myself, im 66 and planning to retire until seventy. Coz i want to work and earn more. Thanks again
Best of luck!
Hi, and thanks so much for your valuable videos. I have passed them along to all my family & friends. Questions: I’m currently a 65 yrs old divorced female and have been collecting my regular SS benefits since I turned 62. When I signed up, I didn’t remember if I had been married over 10yrs, so I said no. My ex-spouse (he’s ex Army, too) and I have not been in contact w/each other over 3 decades. I no longer have our marriage or divorce papers.
1)Can you help me determine if I was married over 10 yrs.?
2)If, I’ve been collecting the correct SS?
3)If, my ex-husband is still alive? Thanks!🙇🏽♀️
Thanks Dr. Ed! I am new to the channel. I subscribed and will be checking in. Thank you for your service!
You are so welcome and welcome to the channel. Make sure you share and all that great stuff. Take care of yourself.
Just found your channel recently and you have such great info! Thanks for the help. I'm from Paris also 😊
Welcome!! Glad you found us!! Paris High? I went to the little one, North Lamar High School...
I AM PRESENTLY ALSO RECEIVING SSI. In the amount of $ 224.00 each month
My income is $1,718 a month. I checked SSA and saw that the cap for not having to pay a co-pay for insurance is $1,903 yet SSA sent me notice that my income exceeded the cap so now they want $176 a month from me. My case worker said their right but the numbers don't jibe.
After a 15 year childless marriage, I paid Permanent Alimony for ten years. Then being unemployed since 2010, started collecting SS in 2016. Taken back to court, I've been ordered to pay 65% until death. No one can believe this is possible. Divorced in Palm Beach Florida, living in Florida, is this even legal? Living on only 35% of SS is devastating, and caused my latest spouse of 22 years to take her life.
Thank U SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TIME TO SHARE WITH US. 😊😂 ❤ 😃🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE U WITH THE GO TO ANSWERS.!!! U R A HERO!!!! THANKS 😊😊😊😊😊😊 I m SHARING your knowledge with as many persons I know will appreciate a HERO Like U Dr. Ed 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much for the kind comments!!!
Two questions. One, if I choose to retire at 63, in getting a temporary insurance for 2 years, Do I need to get option D as part of that insurance? And secondly, What if I become self employed and purchase insurance accordingly, Do I need Medicare coverage when I turn 65?
Lived in California not married but lived together 28 yrs he passed say last year I’m on Sadi he was Sadi n así I’m 62 disabled
💚💚💚Please don’t talk faster- your cadence is perfect - Laura in Georgia 😊
You have to file on your record first....but you can't stop yours if you want spouse benefits too.
Can or can't?
Very interested in your video on delayed retirement benefits and how all that works Thank you and great job!
Thank you, I sure do appreciate it. A lot more videos to come.
Al here I made all the right things
Awesome, I'm so glad to hear that. Now make sure all those around you make the same great decisions you did.

Thank you Dr. Ed.
You are very welcome
Yes
Direct Express is the way to go when you travel internationally or plan on moving to another country. Your bank in NOT in every country and this is the only way to get your SS where you will be.
Thanks for the info!
Sent this to my children an living family.
Thank you, we definitely need to get the word out there.
I BECOME DISABLED WHEN I WAS 62 YEARS OLD, AND I ASKED THE SS OFFICE IF I SHOULD APPLY FOR EARLY RETIREMENT SINCE THERES NO HOPE FOR ME TO GET BETTER. AND THEY TOLD ME DONT WORRY ABOUT IT BECOUSE IT WILL BE AUTOMATIC ONCE I REACH 67 YEARS OLD, SO I WONDER IF IT IS TRUE.

This is Amazing information, THANK you for taking the time to do this for us.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm 65;years old been self employed since I was 21:years old fell off a house in 2008; and had to go on disability I'm only getting 980.00 because my social security wasn't matched by employer, really hard to get by was wondering what else I'm entitled too.
So sorry to hear that.. Make sure you check out that 4 part series on living on Social Security alone. Hopefully, there's something in there that can make your life a little bit easier.
As a self employed person, you are the employer. You should have paid both the employee and the employer portions of SSI each and every year that you filed your tax return. Not sure why Dr. Ed did not point this out.
@@jeffdavis8811 l think you just might of hit on something my friend,, my ex signed me up for disability when I fell and shattered my ankle and compound fractures of tipula and fibula,, and you got me to thinking and there's SSI and SSDI and I know my accountant didn't mess up,, lm betting I'm getting SSI and that's why I'm only getting 943 dollars and I remember I didn't have to wait 5 months like I read you do for SSDI and l also got Medicaid,, we broke up and she never told me what I have.
Thank you for your service...
You're welcome. Thank you very much. Take care of yourself.

I get medical benefits from the VA. I also have Medicare advantage plan. Do I need both? I’m 72 single never married.
Some people get it, some people don't. It's a completely individual decision.
That’s not a clear answer.
VA medical coverage is free.
Medicare cost are deducted from my monthly social security benefit check.
Where can I get an answer to this. I want to maximize my SS CHECK.
TY TY TY
Thanks for the military time benefit advice that adds to the annual income of my past military pay. Maybe it will bump up my SS check a little bit. I wasn't asked about my military service so when i go down to my local office ill be sure to take my DD214 with me.
You're welcome. Hey, every dollar's a dollar and it's your dollar, so go for it. Take care of yourself, Ed
I enjoy your platform, thanks for your advice...
Glad to hear it!
Dr Weir, How do you calculate inflation with regard to receiving SSI earlier v. later ❓
If you can find out how to project future inflation, please let me know.
Question: My husband (of 16 years) went to work for the postoffice and opted out of social security (1983). We divorced after 16 years. I was on and off disability for 20+ years and am on SS now. I am 69 yrs old and I live in Abilene, Texas now‐what should I pay attention to? Thank you, great channel!
Sorry it looks like he didn't pay in the Social Security. I would watch the four videos I did on living on Social Security alone. Hopefully you can find something in there to make your life a bit easier
Great information, I'm 62 and disabled I haven't worked a full time job since 2008, not sure if I should file for disability or retirement. I do have enough credits from my full time job. Any suggestions would be great.
You can file for retirement and disability at 62 at the same time. However, for disability, you also have to be currently insured, which means you had to work and pay into Social Security five out of the last ten years.
Don't wait on filing for disability. On disability work credits expire.
You definitely should apply for disability. Taking early retirement is reduced. Disability would not be reduced.
Hi, thank you for the great work you do for us. Can you have a private dental savings plan even though you have dental with medicare?

Great video Dr Weir. I am a veteran holding out until 70. If I adopt a child in the Philippines when I move there, does my SS increase?
Social security is a joke if you worked for a city 36 years. You end up getting a 40 percent reduction in your Social security. I have been working in the private sector for over 20 years. My Social security is starting to catch up. Thank you from Ex Army Veteran

will my benefit amount change when i reach full retirement ? I've been on SSDI for 24 years full disability.Thanks for your answer
No, your benefit amount won't change, you'll just be switched to retirement benefits. Everything pretty much will be the same.
Well for me I think we should have all our money why we have to wait it because we don't have to wait anymore
I’m retired disability early and I have not received disability benefits from the job
I am a female 71 unmarried I get 1100 Social Security. I started in when I was 62 Door poor Health I still have poor health and work part time so I can’t really get too much money and get ahead other than my Social Security will I ever getin my benefits due to the fact that since I’ve turned 62 I’ve been working part-time jobs will they ever increase my benefits due to the money that’s been taken all these years
If I apply for ieds and receive x wife's benefits can she do the same against my benefits? If I die and am married again for over 10 yrs can my x wife get my benefits over my current wife

Thank you so much. Glad the videos were able to help. Make sure you share with everybody you can. So many people are missing out on benefits
Joint filing would make it hard to figure out what YOU actually made
I am not seeing my earnings from my 1099 job. Should? I see the W2 just fine - I have two jobs.
When you got a 1099 that made you an independent contractor liable for paying income tax, self employment tax, your own insurance, your own vehical, your own gas and so on. It's not considered wages, it's considered income on your business and you owe the taxes on it.
Duduct your truck, gas, insurance, phone and hopefully you're not that short
I live in Tx now
Do i have to pay taxes on my ss check? Thank for informing us, very good videos
Sorry, I don't do taxes, and they're just so many variables
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support. I really do appreciate it!!!
Thank you so much for the information
Looks like I have correctly take care of the benefits for myself. I am getting 8% annually until I finally retire.
1st husband: What about divorce to a retired military and Police retired person. Is there entitlement to social security? I hear they don’t pay into social security. Previously 10 yrsMarried
2nd husband: How about being previously married to a loser over 10 years of marriage?
I current receive deceased spouse benefits. I just turned 65 but what about part D?
I didn’t receive Medicare card? Is it because I’m getting Medicaid?
I have a male friend that is now 63 and

I’m 72 years old and started my Social Security at age of 70. Why my Medicare premium goes up when my income goes up. It’s ridiculous to apply me windfall tax.
We need his DD for is retirement we waiting for it
I retired early at 62 then went back to work so I was able to stop benefits send the first check back and retired later they told me I could only cancel one time or face loosing SS for life
I can see the only cancel one time part. But what they said about losing benefits for life makes no sense. If they won't let you cancel a second time, then you can't. But that is an application withdrawal. You can suspend your benefits by reporting your earnings, and they will just hold back one dollar for every two you go over.
God Bless you!
Thank you. I really do appreciate that!
What if I was a common law marriage since 1979 until he died in 2022. Can I claim his Socail Security Benefits?
PLEASE - PLEASE do NOT go faster. Remember we are all "old" folks and do not have the mind and speed of a 20 year old anymore. We need all the details at a lower speed and time to comprehend what you are saying, that's why we are here !
For the people that have no patience and want everything fast, they can adjust their speed or go to fast food drive-in .
You got it! Thanks for the comment!
They aren't going to force me to keep Medicare Advantage if it's not going to do me any good at doctors and hospitals and all that I just won't pay any insurance at all and drop it off and tell him to stuff it where the sun don't shine
I'm 49 i have been on SSI AND SSDI since 2004. With all the Cola increases now have my total income with BOTH checks ONLY total $963 a month. Its so low bc i was a waitress all my life making $2.13 an hour.
Is it CORRECT that I can't ever get a raise? Like...at minimum wage?? I've been homless staying with friends and family for the last 11yrs bc i don't get enough to even rent my own home!
Any advise?
I'm so sorry to hear that, unfortunately for SSI it's only the cola increase, but make sure you watch my 4 parts video series on living on social security alone. There's 48 programs in there. Hopefully, something will make your life easier.
My daughter was on ss up until she was 19 from her dad, but when she turned 22 it went in her name. She got married in 2010 thought she has sent them a record of it. In 2018 then got a hold of her n told her that they had over paid $40,000 from 2010-2018. Now.in May or June of this year They said well you owe 50,000. They were going to set up payment plan to take $77.00 a month out of her ssi now they never took anything out until June of 2024. Why did they wait 6 years. He was kinda hateful to her. Well if you knew you owed that money what didn't you send the check back. She has a baby girl 2 yrs old she has to to take care of. Please tell me what we did wrong. Ty
Did we do wrong? Please can u answer me plz
Im new to your channel. The information seem very important to get. I'm a more resent widow of 43 years. My husband and i only just got social security. He passed away at the same year he was to retire. Very unexpectedly. I survived barely. Im now struggling to make ends meet and have nobody at all for help with my social security and was forced to sell my almost paid off dream home we built. Now just surviving on my husband's social security check. No way to be able to hire an attorney to get maybe his 401k or other benefits. He was with a government contractor of NASA for 32 years. Im stuck! No where to turn and now im physically disabled. My husband was military when we met. He got out in 1979.
Do you think anyone at the social security office would advise me as where to turn?
Desperately seeking help anywhere!
I was married 13 years and divorced. My ex is still working. I'm 68 been retired since 2020. I was told by SS that I can not collect on my ex SS which is double what I get?
Yeah, my ex barely paid any FICA because he put nearly everything he made into retirement and lived off his girlfriend’s salary - as he did mine when we were married. As an LLC, he hardly paid any taxes and barely paid himself thru his LLC. He made at least 80k per year but his social security check is $999. He is probably half a millionaire by now.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I am a veteran. I only have Medicare part A because we didn't have the money for the deductible and I'm covered by VA health care. Now, however, I have to pay the VA for deductibles. DID I make a mistake? I don't have dental coverage.

I am new to disability and I’m 60 years old. I’m also new to your channel so far. I love it because I’m very ignorant about these benefits I work two and three jobs. , All my life can’t even afford a divorce and I’ve gotta get one so I can think about my 1st spouse once he turns 62. But can you please elaborate on part D penalty for Medicare? Be very specific like what are the fees I don’t get much at all on disability, and I did work hard all my life I had to have 2 to 3 jobs just to make it. Thank you very much….
Will people who still work part-time see additional increase besides COLA to their benefits? When does it get applied?
Yes, if your annual income replaces one of your highest 35 years. They calculate this in September for the prior year. I’ve gotten it three years in a row. The additional is added to the following January check.
If that is one of your high 35 years, then yes.
I turn 65 later this year, I'm heathy/don't take or need any meds, and divorced 12 years. Although I have worked more than 40 quarters, I love my job, and so I plan to continue working a few more years and use my employer provided healthcare. I will delay filing for SS benefits a few more years. Is there anything I need to do this year when I turn 65? I live in Virginia, if that matters. Thank you.
I’ve been on SSD for the last 15 years, I’m 59 now, I still don’t understand why they only approved me for 50%
What’s the difference
Thank you

I was married to my ex first twenty- two years and he remarried and will not communicate with me. We have been divorced four years and I have not heard from him first two years. I am 68 and he is 74. Please advice me how to know if he dies before me how would I be able to discover that in order to receive 100 of his SS? Thank you as he receives more than twice what I receive as a retired teacher. Thanks a million
Please ask this question during one of my upcoming LIVE Q&A sessions and I’ll be happy to answer it. See you then!
What? I would like to know and social security has never ever been. Able to tell me is what if your ex. Husband works for the government public defender's office and they get a pension. Do they still get social security? Am I? Entitled to that or at least 50% of that, and how do I find out how much it would be? Thank you

Im 61 and on disability......my wife passesd away 2 years ago....am i entitled to receive any of her SS benefits...i cant seem to get ahold of anyone at our SS office. Thank you.
You have to keep trying unfortunately and ask them if there's any extra money there.
Thanks for the information they did get it right I’m getting my correct amount
Awesome. So great to hear that! You take care of yourself.
My wife is disabled 60 old.
She only 20 points.
How can she get disability money
She would only qualify for SSI not SSDI and that's only if your income is also low and you have little assets. SSI is means tested.
On SSDI To claim Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you must meet medical requirements and have paid into the Social Security system and accrued sufficient Social Security credits. Twenty wouldn't be enough at age 60. If you do not qualify based on your own earnings history, you cannot claim disability benefits on a spouse's record
If she doesn't meet those guidelines her only option may be to wait and file for social security retirement.
Contact SSA and they will have more specific information on guidelines v
