Is ssi determined by the severity of the disability or is there a set amount for any disability?

The amount is dependent on few things,did you work? How old are you? Whether you receive it or not,depends on the severity of the disability or whether you are a child of a disabled parent (guardian)?

Applying for Social Security Disability or retirement can be a very drawn-out process. They are probably starting to process your claim. As hard as it seems, be patient and don't let all the waiting and stress of it get you down.

OK lets say that a single person on SSI gets $603.00 per month(that's what i get)  and i decide to get married i will get $650.00 per month that's only $325.00 per person. but if that person is also on SSI it would be better if we just lived together then we would have more.

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.

Yes.  There are lots of different types of SSI payments, and different types of inheritance, so whether or not the inheritance affects your ability to continue to recieve the payments the year you inherit depends on what payments you recieve. (Is the estate in money? If property, will you live there?)\n\nYou can always inherit -- the result, if large enough cash or converatble to cash with some exceptions (not as many as there used to be) will probably be that you will lose ssi payments for awhile, maybe that month, maybe longer.

It is a formula based upon past earnings and years of work.  To recieve anything there is a minimum amount of work that has to have been performed first in terms of calendar quarters of work.  That number is pretty low I believe.  Social Security sends a notice each year of how much money that would be.

If you become disabled before retirement age you may collect on one or the other. It depends on whether or not you have paid into the Social Security plan or not. If you have held a job and paid into SS then you can collect SSI: Social Security Insurance. Your monthly income will be based upon how much you were making before you were disabled and will not exceed the maximum which right now I think is around $1300/month.\n\nIf you have not paid into SS or not paid in that much then if you become disabled you may be eligible for SSDI; Social Security Disability Insurance. SSDI has eligibility requirements such as the amount of assets you may own. The monthly amount you receive is much less and depends upon the State you live in. Generally the top amount is somewhere between $500-600/month.\n\nThe Disability requirements are pretty much the same for both. And it can take a couple of years to get approved for either.

That's the way SSI is. They count your assets. If you go over the limit, they force you off the program.. It does count against the $2000. asset limit. If your parents or other trustworthy relative are still alive have them buy it for you so that it counts as their property instead of yours with the understanding that they will let you use it when you need it.

If you are talking about SSI/SSDI, then the answer is...it depends on how severely it limits the ability to function, especially work. There needs to be a long history and it needs to be well documented and the entire frustrating procedure can literally take years (this is not at all unusual.)

Sure, why not?  If you cannot perform work, then you certainly need it.  Some people abuse ssi, it seems you actually need it.

Are you seriously posting your ss# on here? Delete this question immediately you should be ashamed of yourself.\n\ncall medicare for your state they will tell you

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.

No. Workmen compensation claim paid amount wont get affected if the person gets disability. Only when the person is found not eligible for getting compensation, then only he has to repay. If the person is not repaying, then the insurance company will sue against him
