not sure if this is the right answer, but if you go under social security disability eligebillty., it has information about the one being care for is able to recieve under social security. There is all kinds of ways and reasons for elegibility that is never mention anyway until you start digging.  For instance, My mother needs 24hr care after 2 strokes.  We have her at home, she is blind and can't walk at 85years old.  She's entitled because she has diabetes,and had it most of her life.  But it too much for me to explain, look it up and you'll be wonderfully surprised I'm sure.

Disability is critical to protect the income stream of the any income earner.  Not just to protect the loss of income to the family, but also to cover the living and medical expenses of the disabled.\n\nHowever, you need to evaluate the policy.  $250/month sounds like a lot, but it might be because you're getting a high coverage.  Generally, you should insure about 2/3 of your current income.  Because the benefit will not be taxable if you pay the premium using after-tax dollars.\n\n- Does the policy cover own occupation or any occupation?  Get one policy that at least cover own occupation for the first several years of disability.\n\n- Does the policy pay up to age 65, or for a duration like 5 to 10 years?  The longer the payment, the higher the premium.\n\n- Is there a social security income rider? The premium will be cheaper with this rider since the insurance will work in conjunction with the SSI not in addition.\n\nIt's true that group policies are much cheaper than individual ones.  However, those policies will cease when your husband leaves work or is laid off.  It's still wise to own your own disability policy.  But if the job is relative secure, you might opt for a smaller coverage on your individual disability policy which will bring the premium down.\n\nAlso, if you pay the premium annually or quarterly, it's always cheaper than paying monthly.

Taxes are not taken out of social security payments. My wife was on disability until she passed away last year. The 1040 instructions have a worksheet to use to determine the amount of taxes to be taken out which is determined by the amount of the Social Security income and non-Social security income. For this form, my income counted also as we were filing jointly. If a child is receiving payments (my son was as a dependent of a disabled person) the amount may not be taxable, but again that is determined by the additional income that the child receives.

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.

Start here...there are several rules about states and injured spouse claims.  See what the IRS says...\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=141236,00.html\n\nIf you live in a community property state, the rules are different and you might be out of luck.  There are also rules about the proportion of income betwen the two spouses and what the may be able to take.\n\n\nDid you file the forms with your taxes?  If not, sometimes it takes a while for the forms to catch up with each other.  You will eventually be compensated.\n\nDo some research on the IRS site http://www.irs.gov and see what you can find.  Call the IRS and ask.  Or consult a tak professional (they've got a good bit of free time now)

Child support is not deductible in the US--but if it is ordered as "Family Support" then yes-it would qualify just as spousal maintenance does.

A 70 year old recipient of social security retirement benefits may have unlimited earned income without having a reduction in benefit payments. However, wages from work and investment income may make 1/2 of the social security subject to federal income taxes, if the combined amounts exceed designated limits, depending on your marital filing status.\n\naddition 11/28\nIf you have additional earned income and it is not reported to the IRS and the SSA, then you may lose out on credits that could boost your SS benefits.

yes,you may. however there is a monthly $$ limit, and you must advise Social security when you start working.  After a period of time (e.g. 6 mos), they will reevaluate your case to see if you still qualify as disabled.  Call social security to verify limits beforehand. If you go over the limit your allowed, you then owe them $2 for every  $1 over.

Yes, you can get paid for taking care of your mom.  If she gets SSI, SSD, you can go to the local office or department of human services can help out as will.  you will have to apply for services (medicad form has all the information that you will need, just check what she needs and who lives with her), and state that you are her primary caretaker, and that she would for you to take care of her.  chances are you will get hired, or not depending on how everything works out in where ever you are from.

Don't you mean that your father is disabled and he can't work.  If you are able bodied then certainly you can work.  Every state has programs run by Social and Health Services for the disabled.  Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid are other programs.  Personal care providers are one of those service.  You could also be a paid care provider if your father qualifies for one.  One person being disabled never causes another to be unable to work

It depends.  Yes, we military wives do get paid if there is either a joint bank account set up, or an individual account especially for the wife.  Also, if the spouse has a POA (power of attorney) she could receive access to her husband's funds.\nSeparation pay, one of the other people had that right.  There's also "hazard pay" if the soldier is going into a combat situation.\nNavy is the same as any other military branch (on a fundamental level) as far as benefits and such, I would imagine.

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.

If you're married then you have to report both your income and your husbands on the FAFSA. Have you checked with your state rehabilitation agency? They often offer job training for a new career where your disability won't matter. You can also apply for scholarships, both at the University and through fastweb.com. Talk with the financial aid office at the University about a college access loan. You can also apply for a Sallie Mae loan. You can get a CAL or Sallie Mae loan regardless of income. I've included some links below that may help. Good luck!

Unfortunately you were given some bad information. Being on permanent disability (SSD or SSDI) does not excuse you from paying child support. The only thing that changes is that child support collection will now take it out of your social security check instead of your paycheck. This is true in all 50 states. They should be taking out 17% per child, per mother...but no more then 25% total for each mother. If they are taking out more or if you have questions regarding this, call your local social security office:\n\n260 Executive Dr, Lexington\n1-(859) 294-5633
