the total income of the household is revieewed and you could loose it if your spouse has a good income.  Uncle is careful not to give too much or you might be able to get a life.  Unless you want children marriage is only a piece of paper. Check things out before you make a mistake.

Are you married to the deadbeat? My ex husband was in the military and I recieved a card (pass) to shop on base that had his social security number on it. I kept it after we divorced just in case I needed it in the future..Sure enough he tried to run away from his responsibilities of paying child support. I took his social security with me to the Department Of Human Resources and they helped me collect child support from him.That has been many years ago. Things may have changed since then.

When I got my disability they pulled up every job that I have had in my life. So I think they will just pull it up for you. IN the part that I had to write down I just filled it out with my most recent jobs, then when I went for the meeting they pulled all of them up. Good luck!!

I just found a page about this for someone else yesterday:\nPublication No.05-10019\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10019.html\n\nhttp://library.findlaw.com/1997/May/1/129867.html\n\nhttp://www.thebody.com/apla/feb00/legal.html\n\nhttp://www.apla.org/\n\nThose should help.\n\nIf I were you I would get a case worker to start. These are available to you in your communtiy free of charge. Contact the AIDS services program in you r community. It is very overwhelming dealing with an illness like HIV. This person can help you alot. They can coordinate appointments, disseminate information to you, help you apply for benefits and keep track of all these things for you. Its alot to have on your plate. They have experience dealing with  these types of things everyday. They generally help you to fill out the paperwork required for the social security disability. If it comes down to it and they deny you hire an attorney to get benefits. I bet the case worker you get probably knows other sources of help available to you as well. Call the United Way (211?in austin anyway) if you cannot locate a case worker program. They should tell you where to find one.\n\nGood luck! And Keep your head up! Feel free to email me if you have a question...

If you are receiving money for the kids from Social Security based on his being disabled, he is getting SSDI.  This is money that he gets based on his having worked enough credits.  The money that you are getting is probably all you can get, and you get this in lieu of any child support.  You can file for child support from him, but there is no guarantee that the judge will approve additional funds since the kids are already getting benefits from his SSDI.

Disability is not grounds to prevent a divorce. Depending, it may be cruel, but if other party is unable to take care of them selves, coming up with grounds may be a problem.

If your new spouse has medical insurance it will cover the bills as primary coverage, medicare will cover any in hospital expenses left over. The two sources of income will be added together at the end of the year for the IRS to determine how much of your disability payments will be taxed> That is it. I hope your new spouse will mean more to you than your monthly check, if not give him or her a break and stay single any

I think it depends on what you are receiving it for. For instance my sister gets SSI for a disability...to supplement. I think it is a either/or for her. You need to check with your provider for the details. Be sure on this question. Not to say that you may not find it on Yahoo Answers...but I would call and talk to them my self if I were you.  Since you are only 15...you will have to have you parent or guardian do it for you.

Since SSI is based on need,any income coming into the household must be reported.That includes anyone living with you such as a child,spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend.So yes,getting married will probably effect your benefits when you have to report the other persons income.You can have dependents,I'm not sure if they are covered under SSI,they are if you qualify for SSD.

Keeping a journal or some sort of record of how the disease is affecting your daily life is a huge help.  Write down everything.  How it affects your job, your hobbies, your quality of life.  SSDI is usually denied the first time, go right back and reapply as soon as you can.  Once you are diagnosed, you need to prove that it keeps you from being able to work any sort of job.  You do have to be off work for 5 months, but you get backpay once you are approved.

If you receive SSDI, there is a trial work period.  If you are in your trial work period, you can earn an unlimited amount & keep your entire benefit.  After the Trial work period & an extension--then your benefits will stop. . .but if you are not able to work in the future, there is an easy-on protection.  You should always check with the Social Security Administration before planning your future though. The ssa.gov web site is particularly rich with information.

I receive SSD,it took me two years to finally be approved.You can count on them denying your claim at least once.Mine was denied twice,then I had to get a lawyer and go to court.I have known some people who it has taken even longer to receive benefits than two years.If you do not have a legitimate disability,you will never get approved.You also have to be out of work because of your disability to even apply.Best advice is to get a lawyer before you even apply the first time,they will tell you if you even have a case worth fighting for.

Your spouse may be awarded part of your retirement in a divorce, but if they re-marry, they will lose it. VA benifits may not be awarded to a divorcee.

It depends on where you live and how much SSI you are getting. You can call your SS office and ask them.

Yes. I am on SSDI for Fibromyalgia. I had the problem that I filed when I was 27 years old so the Board that reviews the applicants denied me twice. Finally, my application was going before the Appeals Judge and before the court date he read my file. He overturned the original rejections and I received payment back to the date of disability. It took over two years for this process.\n\nMy best suggestion is that when you answer any questions answer as if it's your worst day possible. There's an article called Helping Fibromyalgia Patients Obtain Social Security Benefits by Joshua W. Potter, Esq.\nFrom: The Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine September 1992\nhttp://www2.rpa.net/~lrandall/ssdi_fms.html\n\nAnother good article is http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/social_security_disability_fibromyalgia.html\n\nAnother helpful article is:\nWhy Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) & Fibromyalgia (FM) Sufferers Lose Their SSDI Claims\nby Janet Mizrahi\nImmuneSupport.com\n\n09-01-2000 \n\nYou feel awful all the time. You can barely dredge up the energy to take a bath, no less get dressed, go to work, and actually be productive. You know you’re disabled--your doctor knows you’re disabled. So you’ll win that disability case to get SSDI, right? Well, not necessarily so, says Scott Davis, an attorney who specializes in FM/CFS disability cases. \nAccording to Davis, “One of the biggest reasons people lose disability cases is because they don’t retain an attorney at the beginning of the process. It sounds self-serving, but it’s not,” he adds. “Disability attorneys work on contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay a fee if you win your case – you have nothing to lose.” \n\nUsing a lawyer before or at the time of filing a claim will help build the proper case to show to Social Security and a judge, who will ultimately hear the case and decide your fate. \n\nBut besides that, Davis says, an attorney can help you forge ahead with the process. Many people never bother to file a claim because they don’t have the energy or feel it’s just hopeless or simply because they don’t know what to do. An attorney not only can give you hope that you have a case, he or she guides you through the process. \n\nAnother death knell to a disability case, Davis says, is inadequate medical records. “Disability cases are ultimately won and lost on adequately documented medical records and detailed opinions from the treating physician regarding their ability to work, or their inability to work,” he states. \n\nLack of documentation can happen in a number of ways. One may be a result of a lack of adequate treatment. “Particularly in the FM/CFS arena,” Davis says, “people are repeatedly told by their doctors that there’s nothing medicine can do, to live with their illness and deal with it. Which is exactly what people do. They stop seeking treatment. \n\n“Or I’ve seen people do the opposite. They go to a host of doctors on an odyssey to get a diagnosis. After being worn out from seeing doctor after doctor and getting treatments without any benefit, they quit going. The attitude becomes, why bother? Nothing is helping to alleviate the symptoms.” \n\nBoth tactics result in barren medical records -- a huge mistake. “Even if you have a very good attorney, I’m only the orchestrator,” Davis says. “My ability to help a client is more limited if there are no medical records or if the medical records don’t say anything. Medical records load the gun for me to use when I argue a client is unable to work.” \n\nDavis suggests that ideally, people should view their medical records on a regular basis. This way you can see for yourself if your complaints of pain or other symptoms are being documented. If they are not, patients can tactfully ask their doctors to work with them to get the records in shape for their cases. Many general practitioners and HMO physicians are overburdened and do not take the time to dictate their repo
