Just very short of qualifying number of credits to receive disability.  Can an ex-spouse's total credits be added/transferred after 27 years of marriage.  Not currently married.

Call your social security office and ask them this question just to make sure you are doing everything by the book, okay? Good luck.

I believe only spouses can claim benefits. She would have ceased to be a qualified dependant once she reached a certain age (which is now 23 if you're in school, I'm not sure what it would have been back then) or when she got married.\n\nMy dad is retired military and I lost all claim to military benefits when I turned 23. My sister will lose them when she gets married at 21.\n\nBut, when in doubt, have her call the local Veteran's Affairs in her area.

It depends on a number of factors. Her length of service, did she retire from service, or did she serve less than 20 years? Does she have a service related disability? If she has a service related disability, then yes. If she had 20 years in service, then yes. Otherwise, probably not. Also, does she recieve VA medical?

If the receiving state has denied acceptance of your husband, you are out of luck.  \n\nHis best bet would be to enter rehab and get clean, and then try for a transfer in a year.

you have to be married ten years to get the benefits but unless you have a disability that prevents you from working you have to wait for your survivor check

A person is eligible for Medicare in the 25th month after they have been on disability for 24 months.  About 3 months prior to your eligibility date, you should receive an initial enrollment packet from Medicare and your Medicare card. You can also call SSA and they will let you know when you will be eligible for Medicare or to verify Medicare status.

DO NOT ... stand as garantor for any one ..this always ends up bad if the person isnt credit worthy then they obviously dont have a good record with money...and if it is for partner then this may only be a burden if you was to split up later in life......

I am a Medical worker and know this much.  It would not be considered income, but could possibly be considered property.  There is a 2000.00 property limit, but you could invest her income in an annuity or something like that and that would be considered property.  You could also use the money to pay off old debts, purchase a home, car, etc....just save the receipts.  There is a time she has to spend down the money.  If it is just Medicare she is on and not Medicaid, there may be no property limit, and she may be fine.  I would contact the social security office and ask or check out the website.  Also, alot of people dont know, if she is below the 2000.00 property limit, Medicaid or Medical will pay her "buy in" premium for Medicare, thus meaning she would be taking home the 88.50 that she spends for Medicare.  All kinda confusing, but worth it.  Good luck.

I believe that depends upon the state but yes she can because with you being married, whats yours is his.  A court may see it as income that he is receiving from you.

Negative. Your credit reports remain two seperate entities when you are married. Reports do not transfer until you both have your names signed on a debt, like a home or a car.

As someone who has just been through the system and won my appeal.  My hearing was in Mid-July, my decision late September and my first monthly check came in March for the month of February, I have since received another monthly check in April, however I have not received back pay yet and it was determined that my date of disability was January, 2002.  Do not plan to get your back pay all in the beginning.  I have talked to others that told me they did not receive back pay until after receiving several single month payments.  I did go to the Social Security Office after winning my case and was placed on SSI from the time I applied till I started receiving Social Security Disability Payments.  They will deduct that much of your lump sum payment for what you get SSI.  They also are limited to the amount of back pay they can give at once by SSI so they break down the lump sum payments.  I am not sure what they do on Back pay from SSDI as to date I have not received them yet.  However you are in better shape just being approved and seeing about temporary SSI than you have been in.  Eventually things do get better, however when you are broke the time seems to go much slower.  Good Luck!

If you are both disabled, then yes -- it will not effect the other's status or pay.  I'm on SSDI and my wife makes substantially more than I do with no effect on my benefits.

The problem is that, unless she's disabled, her income is probably not going to be high enough to allow her to purchase a home.  If she and her son-to-be-exhusband owned a home, she might be able to use her share of the equity from that home to purchase a place to live, if there is enough equity, depending upon the terms of the divorce..  \n\nShe could look into low-income rentals, known as Section 8.  Unfortunately, she doesn't have young children living with her and she's not yet elderly, so she may not qualify for that either. \n\nHer best bet would be to contact the local welfare office and ask them for any assistance or leads that they can provide for low-income housing.\n\nGood luck!

Below is the link to the SS site.  They have a link on the home page on how to apply for benefits.  I think you have to be at least 62, but I think there are a few execeptions - like if your spouse was 62+ and died, even if your under 62 you would still collect.

Yes. Speak to her physician or psychiatrist. You will need a letter of reference from him/her. You can apply for disability allowances.

I'm sorry for your loss.\n\nIf you are on Social Security Disability (Title 2), there shouldn't be any penalty.  There are no asset limits for Disability.  BUT, there are penalties if you are on Supplemental Security Income (SSI, Title 16).  You could lose your benefits then.  If you are getting $603/mth and Medicaid, then you're on SSI.  If you are collecting off of your's or a parent's or spouse's earnings, you are getting SSDI.
