Yes, it is possible to find a job working only 12 hrs. a week, whether you can doo the work is another question..\nA ticket to work will allow tou to work and make up to $540. a month for 9 straight months and still receive full SSID and SSI benefits after that you will be reviewed. You can always go back on SSID and SSI by re-applying.

You will absolutely not qualify for Social Security disability. \nI copied this from the social security website.\n\nDisability under Social Security for an adult is based on your inability to work because of a medical condition.  To be considered disabled:\n\nYou must be unable to do work you did before and we decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition.\nYour disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.\n\n\n If you were injured while you were working you may be able to get workers comp.

The Social Security Administration can answer you. They should already have a record of you employment

It depends if you are waiting on an answer from the Disability Determination Services arm of Social Security or from a private company determining disability for short or long term disability for employment. \n\nThey might also be gathering new information to research. If you have any new medical claims, be sure to make copies and send them.

Not sure but they'll probably cut you a pretty fat check going back to when you first filed your claim but be aware SS Admin is famous for coming back down the road saying they overpaid and may want some back so set aside a chunk of the $$$ just in case

Well lucky you. I see your disability doesn't hinder your online time. Perhaps get retrained in computers (which you obviously know some things about) and go back to work, so you won't have to depend upon the governement to support you.

It varies depending on your case, family size, and how much had previously been paid into SS prior to your disability.\n\nLook here for more info:\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/disability/

I did.  After 20 years on social security disability, I went to work I kept getting my disability check for a year after I started work. That gives you a double income, but be careful not to get too used to the extra cash because it does end after that first year.  It also depends on how much you make per month.  You can earn a little over $800 a month and never lose your disability benefits.  After about 7 years I lost my Medicare coverage, but my job had benefits so that wasn't a problem.  The different things that apply to working with a disability can be very confusing, and if you call the SSA 800 number you will probably get even more confused because the people working the phones really don't have accurate answers every time you call.\nMy job was managing a center for independence for people with disabilities so I do have a lot of experience at this.\n\nThe down side is that because of budget cuts in California I lost my job two months ago.  Now I am unemployed and on state disability.  Back to square 1!

You can apply for SSDI (Social Security Disability) or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) by going to www.ssa.gov and filling out the application. In addition some states will give additional income to people who qualify for SSDI or SSI. You will probably need a lawyer to win your case, but the lawyers who take these cases will not charge you unless you win your case. If you are denied benefits on your first request, your lawyer will appeal it for you. If and when you win your case, your disibility lawyer will be paid a small percent out of your first initial lump sum payment. Make sure the lawyer you choose has experience in ss disibility law. Do not pay anyone for this service up front. Some of these lawyers advertise on tv. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book. You can also type www.socialsecurity and you might find a lawyer on one of those entries.

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.)

Yeah, depending on your level of disability.  You should have the (your state's name here) Department of Rehabilitation in your phone book.  Are you in Alabama?  If so, I know a guy (I used to work for him) that is legally blind.  He went through the blind vendors program and has two rest areas on I-65 that he keeps up (vending).  I can contact him and he can give me some names for ya, if you'd like.  E-mail me: alabama.mississippi@yahoo.com

go to social services and apply for food stamps. You might also try going to the local section 8 office and applying for housing...they won't assist you until you are on their program.. Sometimes churches will help if you have a shut off notice or eviction notice. If you have little income, you might quailfy for medical benefits. Ignore these people who tell you to give off your butt and go to work.. It's those people who know very little about what it's like to need help. They have been telling me that for years and I am on disability..disability/work doesn't go together. People are just judmental.one day they will they may need the help to and they will have people telling them the say thing.

short term and long term disability through your employer are totally separate from social security . But yes you can apply ,and should because it is a time consuming process . It won't start paying until all of their requirements are met

SSA has a ticket to work program there are also state vocational rehab programs

Yes, but your individual workers must know about the arrangement. They will give you your money appropriately. Just as you can work while on SSI also. There is a limit so you should ask your worker about it too. Hope this helps.

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

if a person has a legit reason to be on SSI they should not stall on declaring benifits. though typically you would get denied like 2-3 times before you see any acceptance into SSI Benifits judging from past experience.. I have Spina Bifiada and i had signed up to receive benefits and thats what happened with me..I needed it to get on my feet while trying to gain meaningful employment. however after I became Married I decided to drop SSI because how degrading they make you feel with questions you have to recertify with annually like how many times do you go to the bathroom and can you wipe yourself and etc. I now have Strong Customer Service Skills many years later but without a college degree. I have reached as far as I can now...So I am going to get my Associates Degree as a Medical Billing and Reimbursment Specialist. My hopes is that when i am done i will be able to work from home after a few years of working in an office. Oh I am one of a very few with my disablity that are able to walk but as time and injuries have happened my back is getting worse therefore i cannot see myself working out in the field too many more years. if i am able to work from home I will be able to sit in what ever angle is most comfortable to me without people looking at me. The brain is good but the body is not allways willing!!
