Yes, it is possible.  All this individual would have to do is secure a job.  At that time he/she would simply contact SSI and inform them that "they were in luck and found someone that would hire them.\nAt that point - SSI would stop their payments.

Social security is a federal program. Information can be found on this site: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10029.html\n\nIf you need assistance from a disability law attorney, contact the Pennsylvania Bar Association, your local disability rights organization, or a local legal aid organization. All should have information on legal resources in your area to help in dealing the social security administration.

Hey, Dude, it only took me about five months to get my disability.  I have been on it now since 2000.  Maybe you should get a lawyer involved in your case.

i think you can draw ssi and disab. at the same time but what ever you draw on disab. will be taken away from what you would normally draw ssi...suppose you should draw 400 ssi and your drawing 200 disab. then you would only draw 200 ssi...there is no getting ahead of the ol' government....they get ya one way or the other...lol

Your benefits are separate.the only thing that would be affected would be the amount your dependents would get.If you are on SSI then it would matter,because that is determined by income and resources

SSI is Supplemental Security Income.It is given to people who are disabled but don't have enough work credits to qualify for disability through Social Security.And I believe it is usually given through the welfare office.\nSSD is Social Security Disability.It is given to people who have enough work credits paid into the Social Security system.You have had to pay enough into it to qualify.\nI totally understand what your friend is going through.I have been receiving SSD for a few years.People always assume I am getting welfare.My check is based on what I made during the 20+ years that I worked.\nSSI checks are usually smaller than SSD checks,unless you didn't earn much money while you worked.Either way,it isn't enough to live off of.

The disablity you are referring to is paid out by Social Security, it is generally the amount of your full retirement.  SSI is basically welfare paid out by Social Security.  Both are paid out federally, not by the state.

Under the Social Security Act there is a program called the Ticket to Work Program.  As a Social Security beneficiary, you have probably heard of it.  Under the Ticket To Work program, there is another program that is a freedom to work program.  If an SS beneficiary can work at least 1 hour a month doing ANY legitimate employment, they can earn above the limits and still receive their SSI benefits including medical.  However, as you earn more, your SSI check would be reduced by 50% of your earnings. But you would have earnings to replace any lost benefit.  \nWith a back problem I am guessing that sitting and standing for any length of time is out of the question right?  Are you working with a Vocational Rehab counselor?  They should know about this program and could help you find a part time job that will accommodate your disability.  \nIn any case, you can go to www.ssa.gov and look at the Ticket To Work Program.  Click on the Benefits, Planning, Assistance & Outreach (BPAO) program for your state.  They have Social Security trained benefits specialists that can help you evaluate your situation and see if the Freedom to Work program will work for you.\nBest of luck to you.

I don't think SSI will consider that a long term disability. There are surgeries for carpal tunnel.... it is a tough road to file for disability. More illnesses need to be diagnosed for permanent disability and SSI.\nGood Luck with your illness...........  :o)

There are three sources for help for disabled individuals. First, Social Security has a program to provide assistance to disabled individuals who are not retirement age for those who qualify under their standards. Second, the local welfare office or workforce has programs for the disabled. Finally, your state has a Department of Vocational Rehabilitation or Office of Vocational Rehabilitation which can be located via your state government's website. Good luck!

are you trying to obtain the records from the Social Security office? This would not be the correct manner in which to receive them. Go to the medical providers and receive your records that they sent to SSDI

If your wife's doctor has said she is disabled. She can qualify for SSI. That is what it is for, disabled persons. SSI and Social Security are two different programs with different requirements. Most people get them confused because they are Government programs.\nYou should talk to an attorney. Most will review your case for free and tell you if they think you will recieve benefits. It is nearly impossible to get approved for benefits without an attorney. \nAs for household income, each state has different requirements. But I can tell you the more you make the less she will get. But if you ever get laid off or something her check will go up. So there are pros and cons to recieving benefits.
