This will probably disqualify you from SSI.  Outside of your home and one vehicle, there are limits on the amount of assets you can have to be eligible for SSI.  If the insurance settlement was over $2000, your SSI payments will probably be suspended until the amount left drops below $2000.  Talk to your case worker about this, because if they find out later, you will have to repay any unqualified SSI payments anyway.

1.  Prison-  Depends on what he did.\n2.  Your Disability - depends on what is wrong. I just had an uncle become a quad parapoligic, one had a heart attack (three surg already) those people deserve disability.  The are not able to work.  I hope you get a fair hearing based on your disabilities.  However, you should be deserving.  Only you know that.\n\n3.  Your daughters.  SSI - that's one for the others.  I have issues with SSI.  There are deserving individuals that will never function in society.  But, there are others that could work, but choose not to.  I too have my own set of problems..... But I work.  My husbands works and I am raising my children to do their part so that I will be able to (when I am 65 and can no longer) or if some indiviual is BORN with physicall and mental challenges that will keep them unable to work.  I think the court could be stricter on the SSI ....  Get these people rehabilitated and get them to work.  You usually know those from birth who will not function in society.  There are those above the rule that develop problems later in life, but those are the unfortunate ones.

If the person also gets SSA, one will increase but the other one will decrease to make up for the difference.  I know this sounds insane but that's how Social Security does it, they'll increase SSI and then turn around and decrease SSA, so you end up with no extra money, It sucks but it happens ALL the time.

Each state has a base amount that everyone on SSI gets. But if there is any income coming into the house hold then it is calculated and then your SSI benefit amount will be reduced. Household income can be anyone other than you working. Also if you get Social Security then your SSI check will be less.\n\nYou can go to http://www.ssa.gov for more information.

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.

Social Security is not means dependent & doesn't "take" anything.\n\nIf she signed an agreement to pay the nursing home, she is responsible or they'll kick him out.  \n\nIf she is NOT liable she or they will have to find him a facility that will take medicaid.  Medicaid WILL impose a lien on his house if it is in his name. \n\n"He gave her the house. . . " is too vague.  If he deeded it to her that long ago it is probably safe from a Medicaid lien.  If he did not give it to her by deed, then it will either preclude his medicaid eligibility or be subject to the Medicaid lien.   If they try to deed it now, it is too late; he'll lose his Medicaid eligibility.\n\nThis is a case where she must talk to a lawyer who deals with wills & estate or an specialiizes in "eldercare" before she does anything.

They recieve a full honors funeral including salute, flag presentaion, color guard and headstone. and the family will still recive SGLI (life insurance) and death gratuity. They will also recieve Social Security if eligable. However, VA will not give any benifits such as DIC, SBP, or educational benifits. My husband died, while on active duty, from huffing dust-off. It was classified "accidental due to intentional misconduct."

It depends on several things.  Assuming both spouses are receiving a social security monthly pension (benefit}:\n  1.) If the deceased spouse's benefit is less than the surviving spouse's benefit, then, there will be not a change and the surviving spouse will just continue receiving the same benefit with no additional amount coming from the deceased spouse's benefit;\n   2.) If the deceased spouse's benefit is greater than that of the surviving spouse's benefit, there will be an increase in the surviving spouse's benefit based upon the amount the deceased spouse was receiving.  It will ;not be the entire amount of the deceased spouse's pension.  The surviving spouse will not get both benefits.\n\nIf the surviving spouse is otherwise eligible for a social security benefit but did not qualify for one because he or she is receiving a different government pension (civil service, teacher's etc.}then,he or she will still not be able to get a social security pension even though the deceased spouse had one.\n\nIf the deceased spouse was receiving social security pension benefits and the surviving spouse was too young to be eligible for social security benefits, the surviving spouse will receive a survivor's benefit until that spouse is eligible to receive pension benefits and then that spouse will receive the higher of his or her own benefit or the one that is derived from the deceased spouse's benefit and but the survivor benefit will cease.\n\nIt can get even more complicated if the surviving spouse was previously married to a different  person for ten years and was drawing social security benefits based on that prior marriage.  The surviving spouse, then, gets a choice.  The surviving spouse would be able to select which ever benefit was higher: i.e., the benefit from the  prior husband or one derived from the present deceased spouse's benefit.  I think you can now see the complexity of the question  A call to the Social Security Office will help you to understqnd your precise situation that gave rise to this question..

I don't know if the state of Alabama will. I live in Florida and I could not even get the 200.00 that Social Security offers for my mother to have a funeral.She passed away this past may 18th. I had to have her cremated. The cost was minimal. I am a single mom with a mortgage and no family left. It is hard but you have to do what you have to do. I feel for your friend.You can only call the social security dept. and your local city offices and find out what kind of programs are in your area to help. Good Luck and I will keep your friend in my prayers

Sorry bout that, I thought you meant SSI.\n\nYour husband's SSD payments may not be taxable.  As stated above if your combined income*, MFJ, is between $32-44,000. Above $44,000, taxable up to 85%.\nIndividually - $25-34,000.  MFS - you will probably pay taxes on benefits.\n*Combined income-is the sum of your adjusted gross income, plus nontaxable interest (if any), plus one-half of your Social Security benefits.\nIf benefits are taxable and the benefits include a lump sum payment for previous years, you may be able to reduce the taxable amount.\n\nCheck out Publication 915 from IRS.gov, it will definitely  help you.\n\nAs for New Jersey's taxes...Federal Social Security benefits are non taxable.

Your husband should be getting Social Security Disability soon.  It may take up to a year, but you will get back pay after SSI determination is final.  You will be sent a check for each of your children.  Your attorney should have told you this.  He also should be getting some sort of disability from his job.  Look into this.  Don't listen to your husband.  He is an A$$ to say the least.  There will be back child support given to you. Don't you worry.  First you will have to get registered with SSI so they know you will be the beneficiary of the payments.  They can be directly put into your checking account every month.

It totally depends on the policy.\nYou'll have to read it to see if the LTD policy will still pay if the person is awarded Social Security disability benefits.\n\nIn some cases, you'll be able to draw on both up to the policy limits of the insurance policy.\n\nBut there may be some LTD policies that reduce your benefits if you also collect SS disability.
