You might qualify. It depends on your total income level. The limit varies by state (and sometimes county) and also depends on the # of people in the household. It doesn't hurt to apply for them.

Contact Social Security about their Disability Programs. They can provide Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income if you have a verifiable disability. See http://www.ssa.gov/disability/

If you are both disabled, then yes -- it will not effect the other's status or pay.  I'm on SSDI and my wife makes substantially more than I do with no effect on my benefits.

Welfare recipients that get off welfare and get employed do repay what they used - they pay taxes.\n\nWelfare benefits generally are a pittance - in Indiana, TANF (Temporary Aid to Needy Families) generally is not enough to pay bills - many people have to find other help in addition to TANF to pay any outstanding bills while they try and get employed.\n\nSince the 90's, when welfare reform was passed, all states require that TANF recipients attempt to find work or complete eduction that will help them find work. They may only receive TANF for a limited amount of time.\n\nGenerally, people that abuse the system will go for other programs - typically Food Stamps and SSI (Supplimental Security Income - often referred to as disability). Even still, most people who are on Food Stamps or SSI desperately need it - many SSI recipients truly cannot work, and many Food Stamp recipients work at such low paying jobs that they cannot make ends meet.

it depends on what part of florida you are in i think but i was in the pan handle.  You can go to a Job Plus office and they will help you apply for it or just go to the child and family services building.  You can apply for food stamps medicaid and TANF or cash assistance.  But be worned you must have no income for TANF.  If you are only getting child support and you apply for TANF they will take your child support to pay for the cash assistance.  Even if your child support is more than what TANF will give you.  Like in my case i was getting $288 a month for child support and TANF would only give $148 a month.  In order to get that they wanted to take my $288 and only give me $148 so in that case it didn't make sence to get TANF. Also if you do end up getting TANF they require you to do comunity service to recieve it.  In my case i would have been required to do 40 hours a week of comunity service to get $148 a MONTH.  So be sure you ask your social worker lots of information.  Things they will need for you to apply is social security cards for you and child/children birth certificates for all proof of income either last 4 pay stubs or a form filled out from someone not in your house hold that can verify there is no income.  You will probably also need to show proof of residencey which would be an electric bill or lease/deed in your name.  If you are living with family members they may need to sign a form stating that they are not supplying you with food or cash that way the food stamps is based on your family size and not effected by other family members income. Also if you have any children under the age of 5 be sure to apply for WIC.  You can apply for that at your local health department and it will supply you with things like milk cheese peanut butter cerials and fruit juice.  It helps alot because it pretty much supplies you for the month with those things.  and its very easy to get.  Hope i was able to help!

I am pretty much faced with the same situation.  I have been denied SSI and SSD.  I have reapplied for it.  I too have a physical disablity that is preventing me from doing a job.  I really don't have any answers for you.  I have applied from everything from being a walmart greeter to a receptionist.  I can not do any job where any walking or standing or climbing stairs is involved as I do not have the use of one leg and can not stand, or walk without the assistance of bilateral forearm crutches.  I have been turned down for everything but to prove it is because of the disability is impossible unless they specifically say it is.  I can only suggest you volunteer someplace to see if you can actually do the work.  I would also keep bugging soc. sec. to get you the help that you are requesting.  Don't leave until you get to talk to a person.

i think you can draw ssi and disab. at the same time but what ever you draw on disab. will be taken away from what you would normally draw ssi...suppose you should draw 400 ssi and your drawing 200 disab. then you would only draw 200 ssi...there is no getting ahead of the ol' government....they get ya one way or the other...lol

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.

He could probably qualify for SSI disability.  If this is chronic, and it sounds like it, that may be the best thing for him so he can get medicaid and afford the medication he needs.

Most definitely!!!!\nhttps://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps12/best/benefits/form.cfm?cfid=125355&cftoken=336a5a9c51c0db08-3ACA09E6-9DD5-914B-09E0B1163B12DD61

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.

SSI is welfare benefits for the disabled who cannot work due to disability, but who have not worked long enough to qualify for benefits on their work records.  Since it is welfare, there is no additional funds that are paid to the children of the person on SSI.  \n\n(If the person were getting  SSDI, which is based on the disabiled person's work record, the children would be entitled to a monthly benefit check.)\n\nThe person on SSI can be court ordered to pay child support, but it will be based on the amount of their SSI award, and would probably be a very low amount, if it gets ordered at all.  \n\nYour best bet would be to file for child support and see if you can convince the judge.
