It all depends on your actual case.  Nature and severity of the disability, how and when it occurred, current income/previous income, ability to work, long term care requirements, medical need family etc etc.  Each case is assessed individually according to the specific needs and situation of the person concerned.  If you're looking for state benefits then just apply but if it's a legal compensation thing then you have to go over all this with your legal representative.

Where are you getting the disability from? If its a federal or state disability, plan on it being between 30 and 60 days. Your letter should tell you when you will begin receiving compensation. And if it doesnt, you should contact whoever it is that is going to giving you the disability compensation.

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.

There is no limit to the number of wage garnishments that may be levied  against ones earnings.  There is however a limit to the maximum part of the aggregate disposable earnings of an individual for any workweek that may be taken by such a levy.  The base limit is 25% for general levies but in the case of child or dependent support that limit may be increased to between 50 and 65 % depending on a number of factors that have to do with the type of support and length of time that the person is behind in support payments.

That depends on a number of factors such as the age and blood relationship you have with the adult.  If the adult does not have  a blood relationship they must have lived with you all year,they can not earn more than $3,300 (for 2006) and you must have paid more than half of their total support.\n\nYou can read all of the rules in chapter 3 of IRS Publication 17 at the following link;\nhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdf

That's the way SSI is. They count your assets. If you go over the limit, they force you off the program.. It does count against the $2000. asset limit. If your parents or other trustworthy relative are still alive have them buy it for you so that it counts as their property instead of yours with the understanding that they will let you use it when you need it.

The IRS max limit is per individual, not per plan.\n\nYou can contribute a max of $15,000 total between any number of plans or your salary which ever is lower.\n\nIf you only earned $10,000 you can only contribute $10,000 not the max amount of $15,000

There are some cases where people are truly disabled and need the benefit, but the Social Security Administration tends to drag its heels. If you die before they pay, they don't owe anyone anything. If your doctor says you can't work, you are entitled.  Don't be discouraged by the ignorance of some of the posters.\n\nAccording to Social Security regulations, you have to be turned down once for disability, before you can call in an attorney.   If you have been approved, but your benefit has not been paid, contact your Congressman.  They can get things moving.  If you haven't been denied yet, you are going to have to wait for that to come.  When you get the denial, then you can get an attorney.  The attorney's fees are limited, by law,  to a percentage of what is owed to you for back benefits.  At least that how it was when I was trying to help folks through that maze.\n\nGood luck.

you need a good lawyer, my father was a dwarf and the bones around his spine were slowly dissolving. he filled at least 6 times and died while waiting to get approved. this was in the late 70s tho, it makes me sick how some people will fake a disability just to get that monthly check and when some one truly needs it they make them wait. get all of your papers from the doctors together and then call a disability lawyer this shouldn't cost you a thing the state will have to pay your lawyers fees and they had rather approve you then have to pay all those fees and the back pay with interest as well

My roomate is blind and on SSI. He makes some money at his work but not enough to pay even half of rent and bills (I pay the other half). Life would be next to impossible for him without it.

It depends how much you've worked prior to making a disability claim. In some cases, a state will only pay an individual about $600.00 a month and you could make more than that working at McDonalds. You wouldn't even be able to pay rent in a decent apartment in a lot of localities. What you might try doing is just try to work that way and maybe your employer will set up a company package that can help you pay bills and things when they feel you can no longer be able to work.

I agree, I also believe that everyone should be eligible from 18-42. No exemptions, no deferments. Except for the disabled and that still depends on the degree of disability. Some could still perform supportive roles.

You can get social security at 65, but if you are disable you can get it at any age.

Are you registered with the dept of disability services at Dept of Human Services. Once registered and you get a doctors statement which proves your disabilty then if they have funds they will help you (most usually don't have funds in Spring but in Fall)..They paid all my tuition and so much on books..Then fill out the FAFSA and you should be able to get pell grants and loans. It's based on last years income. If you worked last year and now you are on social security you can get a financial aid override and they will ony count what you make on social security. It will be almost impossible to get reg. with DHS, get the paperwork, the FAFSA, etc. by spring term. It can be done but you may not get your loans until mid sem. or after.

if she was convicted of a criminal act realted to the use of drugs then probably not.  HOWEVER, you say that she is trying to make additional money on top of her disability.  Individual receive disability because they are deemed unable to work.  If she is caught making money while collecting disability and not reporting the earnings, she will face criminal charges.
