if you have money, in a trust fund etc, how does that affect your ability to get ssd?

Yes, the amount you receive from ssd will most likely be a smaller sum since you have money elsewhere. Even if it was just a few $100's in a savings account that would be considered when signing up for ssd. Your best bet would be tio talk with a case worker in your local ssd office

Once you will start to work part time or full time if your case is genuine enough, you will be allowed to get ssd.

You need to ask the trustee for your trust account.  You can't access the funds, but more than likely the trustee may have some ability to pay for certain things on your behalf, but it would be completely up to them to make that decision.

Nothing specific but most grants which you don't have to pay back, are based on financial need, disabilities, and if your in some minority group which often includes mental disabilities and maybe drug abuse.

Unless you have a terminal illness that will likely kill you within a year, you probably won't get approved the first time you apply. Be sure to file an appeal within the time allowed. After your second denial, hire a lawyer who specializes in SSD. It took my aunt 3 years and 4 tries to get approved. But as long as you file your appeals in the time allowed, when you do get approved, you'll get back pay from the date you first applied. My aunt got a lump sum check for nearly $50,000.

No it doesn't. My wife filed for just the things in her name only. It didn't affect mine at all. Just remember that for a while, if you open new loans or buy a car or whatever, you'll have to do it in just the one person's name. However, you can still use both people's income to get the loan.

The only thing your SSI can be garnished for is, an overpayment on your SSI or SSD record, back due taxes, back due child support, or un paid student loans.  Seeing this is for student loans, I suggest you contact an attorney ASAP.  Their are some lawyers that do work on a sliding fee or even free basis for people with low income.  Seeing this individual is on SSI, they will have no problem proving they have low income. Good luck.\n\nI was thinking about my reply, and I was not entirely correct.  The above information pertains to SSD. SSI is different (sorry) The only thing that SSI can be reduced for is SSI/SSD overpayments.\n\nhttp://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/ssa.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=426&p_created=973093075&p_sid=iiZpSjai&p_lva=251&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTkmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWdhcm5pc2g*&p_li=&p_topview=1

Money from SS can be used for whatever you want.  As long as you could afford it without lacking priorities, I'd say it's okay.\n\nAnd BTW - nice avatar.

Good question..?\nIt would probably make things pretty difficult for your child later on in life, such as getting into school, getting a driver's license, a job, or anything else you have to give your ss# for...but..obviously it's your choice...New some people who didnt do that for their kids one time though, and their kids were trying to get into college and get jobs and just couldn't do it, because they didn't have a number, and it was a real pain in the ass for them to get it later on.

Depends on what state you're in. Different states have different setups for funding.

You heard incorrect information. Social Security is only paid to people that contribute to the fund. This is normally done by payroll deductions or direct payments by self employed people.

More than likely you will need to apply for SSI disability which is much less that Social Security Disability but is much faster to get approved on.  The good thing is once you are put on Social Security Disability they make it retro-acative back to the date you filed for it.

Not if it's standard social security and he's at least 62. If  he's receiving disability or receiving any additional SSI payments these could be affected. It's also possible that it could affect any Medicare he's receiving so check that out as well. Be aware that there may also be Income Tax or Gift Tax issues with something like this.\n\nGive me the complete details and I'll try to help you understand the full impact. (That's what I do is Tax Consulting and financial planning.) \n\nRemember that it's possible that he could receive the house and use it under a family trust or some other arraignment that prevent any negative results if it's done right.

If he is on a fixed income like SSI or SSD. You can't do anything but complain. Your lucky you even get $10.

According to recent news reports the Supreme Court just said that SSI and disability payments are now subject to 25%garnishments for outstanding student loans. But, other factors will be taken into consideration so maybe when they come for their share you can claim economic hardships and get out of it...it's all up to the goodness of the creditors heart...good luck.
