  • What does Social Security say about non-employment income you earn after approval or about assets you may own or acquire? Possible offsets to your disability payment will depend on the type of disability you are receiving.
    If you have been approved for SSDI, you do not need to worry much about non-employment income - such as passive income from rental property, long term disability payments, or income from a trust. Your SSDI payment is a function of your earnings record and the law does not call for an offset to your SSDI monthly payment.
    Similarly there are no asset limits which apply in an SSDI case. This means that you can own a house, car, boat, paintings or any other asset without any threat of offset.
    SSI claimants, however, face different rules. Since SSI is a needs based (welfare) program, there are a variety of income and asset limitations that apply. If you exceed either, your SSI payment will be offset and your monthly payment will be reduced.
    The income and asset limits change every year. goo.gl/mMyfKm is a good resource for understanding the income limits in an SSI case and goo.gl/FmNAdR is a good resource for understanding the asset limitations.

    I've been on SSDI for over 15 years, and this info sounds right. Strangely we can get misinformation from Social Security themselves when we call them. I even got a bill from them for $16,000 for 'overpayments' even though I'd followed everything they'd told me on the phone.

    Reason I say after one has been on SSI is it seems everything online says sure, one may own a car per ability to get on SSI but it never says what happens if one does not have a car so one is on SSI a while then finally is somehow able to get that needed car. Is that after the fact of having qualified for SSI disability & getting a car then a problem? Anyone disabled who can drive is in desperate need of a car so it seems they are being punished if they buy a used car for 5k which is of course over that 2k. Not like going out to buy a new 40k car but no one is likely to get a car that actually works for under 5k so I'm using 5k as example of person on SSI 2 years or longer going to buy a car then. It would be the only car but it was not there going in SSI.

    It may not be a problem with SSDI itself but it can affect if your eligible for help paying Medicare, also from what I read depending on the state you live in owning a vehicle is something they take in consideration if your trying to get help with it or prescription plans . you really gotta watch everything and keep your receipts!

  • @sandyb3487
    @sandyb3487 Před 5 lety +2

    I was approved for SSI for four months so I can make it financially until I start getting SSDI. That is what the letter said. I have a phone interview next week with SSI to discuss financial and residence issues. I have not had any income in three years and only own an old mobile home that is in mine and my sisters name. No other assets at all. Is this a normal procedure? The letter said partial favorable, but onset date for SSI said only the past four months. SSDI said march of 2017 even though my attorney asked for it March of 2016. Is this the partial favorable decision? Thanks!

    I qualified for SSI the same day my divorce went thru. The marital house is on the market, when it sells I have 30 days to spend the money and show no assets, with the exception of 1 car and a dwelling that I am living in. SSI says because my ex lives in the house and I don't, I can't receive my 1st payment until it is sold and the money spent. I qualify for a loan but I have to have received 1 check from SSI in my bank account. I am in a catch 22. Can I put a down on a home, with my children and me as the owner to get the loan or can I buy my son's old bravada for all my money? Trust me it isn't worth 1000 which meets their asset requirement. I know I can't give it away. I feel my only option is to rent a room at some swanky hotel with room service and throw a huge party till I'm broke. That would leave me no assets and being homeless.

    IS selling personal affects allowed w $910 threshold/monthly? I received help where I could to facilitate but still limited because of my ailments. Will filing a return trigger an SGA test from SSA? Granted, most of the items were at a loss but some had profits over < $400 cause they're collectables? Do I retain counsel?

  • @TJ-ys7rx
    @TJ-ys7rx Před 7 lety +3

    Thank you. And this might be a tad off topic. If an SSDI recipient chooses to return to work, they make over the allotted ticket to work income; it is clear that the case will more than likely be closed. With regards to the medical condition, what will happen if a year later there is a medical relapse? Would the individual need to reapply? Also, if the individual is awarded a winfall; will the funds need to be turned over to SSDI ~~ within the nine-month trial period? And what if the windfall arrived after the SSDI case is closed, are they still required to pay any money to SSDI? Do you work with such cases?

  • @Asmodius37
    @Asmodius37 Před 6 lety +1

    So if I'm understanding you right, income earned in passively from things like renting out property and such is fine. I'm wondering if this also applies to stocks (particularly anything that pays dividends, or if you just buy/sell them), REITS, and that sort of thing. I would also presume that interest on savings and CDs (Certificates of Deposit) would be okay too. I'm curious since I know you have to pay taxes on interest from savings, and dividends (capital gains tax). What I think I'm really confused on would be something like a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). Since the way you get paid on those is from what I understand treated very differently and taxed differently. I'm guessing at the very least it may raise some questions and potential review (even though you aren't working or anything). I am asking in terms of if you are on SSDI to be clear. SSI I am fairly positive it is NOT okay. If you could give me your input, I would be very grateful. Have a nice day.

    • @ssdattorney
      @ssdattorney  Před 6 lety +2

      Yes, unearned income (passive income) from stocks and other investments is generally not considered the product of "substantial gainful activity and therefore won't count as work earnings. Obviously if you set in front of a computer monitor all day and trading stocks is your business then that would look like earned income. The more income that shows up on your earnings record the more likely that SSA will ask questions. You are correct about the impact of passive income on SSI. Basically I think you have an accurate understanding of passive income and SSDI from what you wrote.

    • @Asmodius37
      @Asmodius37 Před 6 lety

      Thanks for your prompt reply. I was reading about REITs and how they are considered for tax purposes was what got me thinking. Since you can buy them like stocks, but you still aren't working or anything and they basically just are a way to invest in real estate without major exposure. The other things I presumed to be fine, but I'd rather ask someone who is more knowledgeable. On a side note, have you done any videos on what is defined as "substantial gainful activity"? I have been doing some research on the topic and for income purposes there are two numbers (aside from being blind or something else) that show up. One tends to be higher than the other. I think this would be a great topic to bring up in a future video. I'm trying to remember what they were, but they more or less dealt with how much you could make. If I remember right, one was like 7xx or 8xxish, and the ceiling was approximately 10xx - 11xx dollars. Aside from that, keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative and well done. Thanks again for answering my question in a prompt and professional manner.

      @HalkerVeil Před 4 lety

      Yep. For SSDI (Disability) Writing a book is an sga. (Significant work act.)
      It would be like saying you can't do anything physical to earn anything, then you go and do a bunch of yard work. Which is a type of job.
      If you have any ability to do anything they will try to cut you off.
      For SSI they take off $1 for every $2 you earn. Until you have no more income from SSI. With a small exception of about $64 for hobbys that might pay a little.

  • @stoit87
    @stoit87 Před 6 lety +1

    For SSDI what about independent day trading while you are waiting for a hearing and after being approved for benefits? It is not employee W-2 income for SSDI. If it can be done from a reclined position say a few hours a day on a lap top from home? My understanding is, it is treated like any other investment income (stocks, real estate etc.) being that there is a chance of loss as well as gain. and how do you respond to a judge if it is asked at your hearing because net earnings are found reported on a 1099B?

    • @ssdattorney
      @ssdattorney  Před 6 lety +2

      I think that the judge will focus on the nature of the activity you are doing. Obviously day trading does require a certain level of concentration, attention to detail and persistence. These are all characteristics of competitive employment. On the other hand the time expended is not consistent with full time work. At best, earnings from day trading and evidence that you have the capacity to concentrate for extended periods of time will muddy the waters. Some judges might conclude that your day trading is "substantial activity" and use that to deny your claim. I would focus on the limited amount of time spent at any one time and the control you have over your work environment to differentiate from full time work.

    • @ssdattorney
      @ssdattorney  Před 7 lety +1

      For SSDI cases, the earnings limit in 2017 is $1,170. This is not the same as a trial work period month, which is $840 in 2017. Affiliate marketing would be considered earned income I believe. My experience has been that if SSA sees consistent reporting of income, month after month, your file could be flagged for a continuing disability review. See also www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf.

    • @HalkerVeil
      @HalkerVeil Před 4 lety

      If you register a company and get income then you are doing an SGA. (Significant Gains Act.) It will trigger an audit and likely lose benefits. Unless you are on the Ticket to Work program. It gives you 3 years with no audit trigger.
      So you really need to commit to get things rolling. And if things work out you will lose SSDI but you are making your own income now. Which is the whole point of Ticket to Work.
      One exception is if you are in a partnership and you can show you do less than 20% of the work for the company. In other words, if your partner is running it, and you just guide them with general knowledge, then it 'might' work. But that is a loophole that will likely be closed. And you will still be audited regularly.

      Jonathon Ryback as you’ve probably found by now it absolutely will decrease the amount you receive.

    What if he did not have a car when he got SSI but he needs one of course so he somehow got 5k or something for used car then bought while on SSI? Say a relative gave him 5k to buy one car after he was on SSI disability? Does that count the same way as just one car like if he had it before he got SSI or does he just lose SSI because he later got a car to help him get to the doctor etc? Interesting things but is very sad how it all works for those in real need. Seems like can't even buy a car if you don't have one after receiving SSI for some time.

      SSI will offset your benefits for room, board and other non-cash help you have been receiving. These are called the "deeming rules." One thing you might want to do is have a written agreement with your friend whereby you agree upon a monthly rent and monthly loan for food and necessities and you agree to repay this money upon receipt of your SSI.
