I'm sorry for the ordeal you are going through. A good starting point could be to contact attorneys who handle social security disability cases and discuss your situation in confidence with one. You could learn if you qualify for benefits, and as to your question of proving a disability, evidence... Read more »

If you are found to have been disabled for at least 1 year, then yes, you are entitled to benefits, even if it was for a prior period, and no longer need it going forward. However, you can only get benefits going back 1 year from when you apply.
Will I get denied if I do not have an attorney at my court hearing?
You won't get denied just because you don't have an attorney, but you're much more likely to be successful if you have one. That's because an attorney will know what records you need and will argue why you should be considered disabled. However, you will need to get an attorney as soon as the... Read more »

There is no harm. They are marked as deceased on credit reports and social security.
Go to Social Security for a replacement card. Ask your parents if they will give you a photocopy of the certificate which will speed up your getting the certificate. Ideally, see if there is a relative who they will listen to who will intervene, at least get them to give you copies of the birth... Read more »
The inheritance is $3636.00. I am due to get out of Northeast Center early 3/19 in a Medicaid program called TBI Waiver. Med resource is under $2,000, SSI would be problematic and I haven't called them, I received the check today. I want to do the right thing to do, I don't speak well on the... Read more »
While technically this should be declared to Medicaid, it is too modest a sum for anyone to chase after you. Just deposit the check.
My mother is disabled, cannot hold a job due to the disabilities. I take care of her and am paid for it(I’m her daughter). She cannot obtain SSDI due to not working enough to get it, due to being married most of her life. She was told to apply for SSI instead as she should get it due to... Read more »

Social security benefits are not taxable income and are also exempt from creditors.
report this? Could I potentially lose my disability money?
It depends if you're receiving SSD (Title II) or SSI (Title XVI). Title II is based on your work history and that you paid into the system (like an insurance program). Under Title II, your income/assets are not relevant. The only income that is considered is if you've received other public benefits... Read more »
I was told that I can get a payment from social security because they are still deducting from my pay since age 66 and my monthly payment has not increased
No. These payroll taxes are deducted for as long as you're earning wages.
No, as he would not be getting paid.
Under some circumstances, the answer is "yes" - but only with respect to child support, income taxes, criminal restitution, or Social Security overpayments. Give them a call and ask them about it - they'll at least be able to let you know to whom the debt is owed. There have been circumstances... Read more »
I dont want to lose my social security disability by selling this way.
All security deposits need to be in a rent security account. This is the law. Nothing to do with SSD.
This income is exempt from creditors. However, you must keep the funds separate from other types of income and have proof it was never co-mingled. As a practical matter, it is possible to have the funds taken out of your bank account even if they are exempt - it's just they would need to be... Read more »
Not necessarily, and I would recommend you speak with an attorney local to you. SSI funds may generally not be garnished to satisfy child support obligations, but Disability funds may not be afforded these protections. Both programs require proof of disability. Additionally, an individual under... Read more »

If it was a joint account, then no.
Under Trump people arrested for minor offences are getting deported and I was arrested 17 years ago for harassment and 38 years ago for possession
You should contact Social Security for an answer. But just being arrested for a crime or crimes is not grounds for deportation unless there is also a conviction.
I am on social security disability. I also worked part time for caregivers. They are trying not to pay me for hours I worked before they let me go. I don't know what to do
The New York State Department of Labor is very good. For smaller claims such as yours filing a complaint with them for unpaid wages may work. Governor Cuomo and his state agencies are great! They truly care about all people who choose to live in our great state!
I only had a passport and no social card but they insisted they needed to have my physical card or get a receipt of request.
