They don't calculate it based on what you make.  I think the max amount is $206/week.  It depends on what you earned one year ago, whether or not you will receive the full benefit.  It ain't much, but it's better than nothin'!

You would be making the same amount as a person without special needs were they be in the same position.  Believe it is covered under the "American with Disabilities Act."  Best of luck.

I've been at the same non-profit health care organization in D.C. for seven years. I have five weeks vacation, six sick days, two personal days, full health care coverage, full dental, a traditional defined benefits package (equal to my highest salary when I retire) AND a 401(k) with matching contributions, two life insurance policies, a long-term care policy (that I pay for, but at a ridiculously low rate), a severance package if I'm let go equal to two months salary, long-term disability insurance, an office of my own, subscriptions to newspapers and magazines of my choice, and a kick-ass boss.\n\nYou should work here.

I think the law states that after 180 day of service you are entitled to some very basic benifits.  I would have a copy of your DD214 handy and stop by your local VA.  You can even start at the VA web site

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.

Under the Social Security Act there is a program called the Ticket to Work Program.  As a Social Security beneficiary, you have probably heard of it.  Under the Ticket To Work program, there is another program that is a freedom to work program.  If an SS beneficiary can work at least 1 hour a month doing ANY legitimate employment, they can earn above the limits and still receive their SSI benefits including medical.  However, as you earn more, your SSI check would be reduced by 50% of your earnings. But you would have earnings to replace any lost benefit.  \nWith a back problem I am guessing that sitting and standing for any length of time is out of the question right?  Are you working with a Vocational Rehab counselor?  They should know about this program and could help you find a part time job that will accommodate your disability.  \nIn any case, you can go to www.ssa.gov and look at the Ticket To Work Program.  Click on the Benefits, Planning, Assistance & Outreach (BPAO) program for your state.  They have Social Security trained benefits specialists that can help you evaluate your situation and see if the Freedom to Work program will work for you.\nBest of luck to you.

Yes - you may now qualify for a partial disability payment that can continue until you are released to full duty.

Hey, Dude, it only took me about five months to get my disability.  I have been on it now since 2000.  Maybe you should get a lawyer involved in your case.

If you receive SSDI, there is a trial work period.  If you are in your trial work period, you can earn an unlimited amount & keep your entire benefit.  After the Trial work period & an extension--then your benefits will stop. . .but if you are not able to work in the future, there is an easy-on protection.  You should always check with the Social Security Administration before planning your future though. The ssa.gov web site is particularly rich with information.

I don't believe your employer is able to send you home for being ill unless it is outlined in your employment contract.  If you have sick leave they may be able to send you home. I am not sure. But if they send you home I don't know if they could dock you pay.

Call the social security office and ask them. Amy other answer you get here would just be opinion.

If you work for an individual, your benefits are limited or none. He may not be in a position to give you anymore. I suggest you ask what you want. you can also quit and look for hospital job or nursing home job. They will give you vacations and benefits.

If you're getting benefits from short-term disability, there is a time frame for the benefits to be paid. \n\nIf you're receiving Workman's Compensation payments, your state's rules about how much you'll be paid and how long you'll be paid will determine when your payments will stop. \n\nReturning to work is something you and your doctor need to agree on. Make sure you bring the HR person from work into that conversation, so you can reach an agreement about when it's okay with your doctor, and absolutely necessary for your company to have you back. \n\nThe comp, or compensation payments need to be understood by you. Talk to the HR person at work or to your counselor at Job Service for the facts. Rumors from co-workers just cause hard feelings, and often aren't even close to true. \n\nGood luck, and feel better! - Stuart

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

The Social Security office could help you with this question much more than the "public at large" can help you.  SS has strict guidlines about people who work after retiring, all according to the age of retirement.

I worked abroad for a few years, I paid no income tax and my National Insurance contrbutions were considerably reduced.  I remained a British citizen throughout and so am entitled to all such benefits, as you should be, as you have paid the insurance
