The monthly federal SSI check will be reduced according to what your husband's income is. I don't recall how the deduction was figured out as to how much I'd get each month.You could contact SS and find out or your case worker and I'm sure that person could help you out.

If your wife's doctor has said she is disabled. She can qualify for SSI. That is what it is for, disabled persons. SSI and Social Security are two different programs with different requirements. Most people get them confused because they are Government programs.\nYou should talk to an attorney. Most will review your case for free and tell you if they think you will recieve benefits. It is nearly impossible to get approved for benefits without an attorney. \nAs for household income, each state has different requirements. But I can tell you the more you make the less she will get. But if you ever get laid off or something her check will go up. So there are pros and cons to recieving benefits.

You would have to check with your local Social Security Office for this question.

I believe you need to be careful with this question. It is true that you will still get your full Social Security check even if you earn extra money but at some level of earnings the Social Security benefit can become partially taxable.\n\nYou need to check with the IRS about this since it is independent of the Social Security Administration.

I believe that depends upon the state but yes she can because with you being married, whats yours is his.  A court may see it as income that he is receiving from you.

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.

No not usually, but his depends on how long you have been married and how long you have been a resident of your current state.

Your husband should be getting Social Security Disability soon.  It may take up to a year, but you will get back pay after SSI determination is final.  You will be sent a check for each of your children.  Your attorney should have told you this.  He also should be getting some sort of disability from his job.  Look into this.  Don't listen to your husband.  He is an A$$ to say the least.  There will be back child support given to you. Don't you worry.  First you will have to get registered with SSI so they know you will be the beneficiary of the payments.  They can be directly put into your checking account every month.

SSI is Supplemental Security Income.It is given to people who are disabled but don't have enough work credits to qualify for disability through Social Security.And I believe it is usually given through the welfare office.\nSSD is Social Security Disability.It is given to people who have enough work credits paid into the Social Security system.You have had to pay enough into it to qualify.\nI totally understand what your friend is going through.I have been receiving SSD for a few years.People always assume I am getting welfare.My check is based on what I made during the 20+ years that I worked.\nSSI checks are usually smaller than SSD checks,unless you didn't earn much money while you worked.Either way,it isn't enough to live off of.

You've qualified for the medical part, which means they have said that your disability is bad enough that you qualify for Social Security Disability. \n\nNow, they're going to look at your employment history to make sure that you've worked long enough in jobs that paid into the Social Security system to qualify for benefits.  Each year is split into 4 quarters, and if you earn enough money during that quarter, you earn a SS credit.  You have to have a certain number of credits to qualify to SSDI, depending upon your age.\n\nIf they find that you do not have enough credits for SSDI, they will consider you for SSI.  Since SSI is welfare (for those who haven't worked long enough to accumulate enough credits), they will look at your household income and your assets to determine if you get benefits.\n\nIf you've worked and have enough credits, you'll probably start getting benefits within a couple months.  \n\nI wouldn't go get a job right now, since you've qualified medically.  After you start getting benefits, if you get SSDI,  you can work and earn about $800 or so a month without losing your benefits.  If you get SSI, you can't work and still get the benefits because it is welfare.\n\nGood luck!

As long as you paid into Social Security before you retire, you are eligible for benefits.  You should be receiving an annual statement of your benefits from them on your birthday.  If not, update your address with the Social Security Administration.
