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 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.

It depends on where you live and how much SSI you are getting. You can call your SS office and ask them.

If you become disabled before retirement age you may collect on one or the other. It depends on whether or not you have paid into the Social Security plan or not. If you have held a job and paid into SS then you can collect SSI: Social Security Insurance. Your monthly income will be based upon how much you were making before you were disabled and will not exceed the maximum which right now I think is around $1300/month.\n\nIf you have not paid into SS or not paid in that much then if you become disabled you may be eligible for SSDI; Social Security Disability Insurance. SSDI has eligibility requirements such as the amount of assets you may own. The monthly amount you receive is much less and depends upon the State you live in. Generally the top amount is somewhere between $500-600/month.\n\nThe Disability requirements are pretty much the same for both. And it can take a couple of years to get approved for either.

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.

Go to the SS office and talk to them.  If you are disabled to the point you can't work and can not be trained or educated for work it is most likely you can get benefits.  Sure won't amount to very much though.  Also go on the net and check out their web site.  SSDI is the abbreviation for what you are looking for. Social security disability insurance.  The payments will not be enough to live on without help from welfare.

Do you work? If so you should purchase some either from work or a private company. If you don't work maybe you could qualify for sate assistance health care, or disability but the best way would be to purchase your own insurance if you can.\nhttps://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/Alliance?allid=Yah26044&sid=tlp\nhttp://www.humana-one.com/default.asp?kc=1005010404&ipsrc=media&reftype=pi&sptype=osmx&cm_mmc_o=QztBBCjCVzbp%20GEgkAlbBECjCZwzkft%20GElAyzEgwCjCZBFw%20VzTw\nhttp://www.insurancequote4you.com/health/

Well, if she is over sixty five she should qualify for medicare and medicaid, what would help manage her disability. She needs to prove that she doesn't have resources of her own, and she can keep her house, a car, and a wedding ring. Depending in different states there are different programs to help with housing, and of course "Habitat for Humanity" If you give more information about her condition and the state she is in, more helpful answers can be given.

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 can continue to get SSI and SSDI if you work. If you earn less than $860 a month your benefits will continue, but they will reduce the amount they pay you based on how much you earn. I believe that the formula is the amount you earn in a month minus $85, then divide that by 2 and that is the amount they will subtract from you check. When you are going through the rehabilitation training they do not pay you or reduce your benefits until you actually are hired by a company. Also, they will not give you a job, they will help you find one.

I am a Medical worker and know this much.  It would not be considered income, but could possibly be considered property.  There is a 2000.00 property limit, but you could invest her income in an annuity or something like that and that would be considered property.  You could also use the money to pay off old debts, purchase a home, car, etc....just save the receipts.  There is a time she has to spend down the money.  If it is just Medicare she is on and not Medicaid, there may be no property limit, and she may be fine.  I would contact the social security office and ask or check out the website.  Also, alot of people dont know, if she is below the 2000.00 property limit, Medicaid or Medical will pay her "buy in" premium for Medicare, thus meaning she would be taking home the 88.50 that she spends for Medicare.  All kinda confusing, but worth it.  Good luck.

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.

This would probably be a state or county program.  You are right that HUD is the federal program, and I'm not surprised that the waiting list is very long.  I would start with the counselor or whoever is responsible for your disability insurance (workers' comp insurance carrier or state disability, or perhaps Veteran's Administration), and ask what they know about housing assistance.  Once you have a social worker assigned to you in any one program, part of their job is to know what other programs you may be eligible for, and how to go about applying.\n\nI'm in school now (right now; typing this in lab) on a program run by the state unemployment office but financed by federal money.  I feel guilty about using tax money, but you gotta do what you gotta do.  I take comfort in the fact that I paid taxes -- a huge amount, in my opinion -- for many years before I was laid off.\n\nGood luck!

Such a very sad situation.  My first question is why 70% less than the old job?  If you made that much before, can you make that much again? It would help ease the financial burden even if it wasn't your most favorite thing to do.  A good rule of thumb is to use 40% of your income on your living space. That means that if your house payment is over 40% of your income per month, you either need a raise in pay or a different house.  The best situation would be to find a job with insurance coverage that accepts pre-existing conditions.  That way, you can at least afford medication.  Keep trying for disability for your fiance'.  If he really is unable to work full time, it may be best for him not to work at all if it comes out to be beneficial to you both.  You're in a tough situation.  I wish you the best of luck.

They may still be eligible for social security. You can try calling 1-800-772-1213 for more information or visit http://best.ssa.gov/ and fill out the survey to figure it out. \n\nThere are also other options such as buying health insurance from private companies (can be costly).

Yes and no.  The State of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services and the Department of Rehabilitation, sponcers the Home Services Program.  Based on the needs of a disabled client, a Personal Assistant is assigned to work a specific amount of hours doing predetermined household duties.  The program does not pay all that well, and you do not necessarily get to live with the disabled person (unless you were already living with them beforehand), but it does provide a benefit to disabled people who would otherwise have to live in assisted care without the program.  I included the website for the Home Services Program, if you'ld like to contact someone about it.  Take care.
