With the help from you I won my SSD &SSDI, it's been 4 yrs since the beginning, I've lost a lot during this time & became homeless, but with the pay back I'll be able to get a small home and start again. Your videos have helped me a lot, & thank you
Sry to hear u lost so much during the waiting time, i missed the ssdi by 2 points crazy huh, at the time i did mine they went 5yrs back but dont count 1 yr of it crazy huh, but i got a great lawyer and got the ssi .. always have a lawyer from the get go they always denies 3 times almost a normal thing.
Hi. I'm just seeing your message. It's been 6 years since you posted. I hope you're doing great now. I'm where you were back then, waiting and waiting for progress on my case. I read online last week that my application was accepted, but I won't believe anything until I have the letter in my hand. I'm really hoping it's enough to get by.
I was approved today in just 6 weeks. However, I have a condition on the CAL list and I gave them clear, objective evidence supporting my diagnosis. Very thankful.
Took me 29 months and age 61 to receive my ssdi. After working hard physical works 41 years into the system. I look back and sure am glad I paid ss for 41 years.
Thank you so much your videos have greatly helped me out, i have been denied for 8 yrs for my disabled son I received a favorable decision in the mail this week.
It took three months,,, exactly,, they pay you on the day of the month you were born,,, weird but that's how they do it,,,, first they send you a couple of letters right after your court date,,, then a letter to verify your bank and deposit info , then they send you a letter with the amount they are awarding you monthly and the date of your first payment,,, good luck to you,,, any questions please feel free to contact me,,,,👍🏼🙏🏼
Hello quick question i dont know if im going to apply ssdi or ssi dont know whats the difference between the two i just got a car accident last year 2019 since then never been back to work my state disability runs out in short my 6 to 9 months more recovery let me know thanks in advance
I walked off the job Sept. 15,2021 , applied for benefits Dec. 22, 2021 , recived my Notice of Award Jan. 27,2022 of $1720.00 monthly starting in March and it is all from learning how to fill out the application from you and for that I will always be grateful . Thank You .
Really? That was fast what I don't get is that there's many people out there with really severe cases of pain and illness and halfway dead & gets denied take years for them to be approved now that don't make sense & it's sad
After years of appeals I finally got partial and based on my wife's income I feel defeated..after working 30 years paid into the system I feel our government does not take care of its own
If you don't have enough credits in the past 10 years to qualify on your earnings record you would only be eligible for SSI and your wife's income would disqualify you per the "deeming" rules.
So true! But I think many people like myself have prayed to get better for years and prayers went unanswered so we pray for something else that will help us.
yah, been praying and trying everything in my power to get healthy for over 20 years. Basically screwed myself because I tried to keep myself afloat by working part-time jobs. Was too proud to apply, didn't want to be seen as disabled and now at the point I can barely do anything and have to get on SSI instead of SSDI because I don't have enough work credits due to working part-time for so long. I'm guessing you don't have a disabling condition. You might want to keep the "SHOULD" out.
I started receiving SSA in 2016, due to 2 accidents that caused an inoperable brain aneurysm, broken nose, nerve damage to my R side, head to toe and a top total humerus and shoulder break, that caused them to cut 2 sections of bone out so they could try posting and bracketing it together. They did not connect any muscle or ligaments or nerves back up as they did not think it was going to grow back together. I have also been fighting severe anxiety and depression prior to and got worse after accidents, causing PTSD. My nerve issues, balance and eye sight,(due to aneurysm), and memory has gotten worse also. 2 years ago SS sent me a letter saying I was deemed disabled and would be put on Medicare, I am now 58 years old. I have worked several jobs and filed my own taxes since I was 19 years old. The last job I was at for 11 years, prior to that I had 2 jobs at the same time, one for 10 years and one for 5 years, so I had steady income coming in for years. I also tried working after 2 years of breaking my arm, as it finally grew together after 1n 1/2 years. My bosses were very good to me and when I started getting major migraines and my shoulder joint got over worked, they moved me around to 3 different positions. The last one I loved, as it was inventory counts and sinking it into their database. But after 4 months, I had to quit, as my migraines and shoulder got worse. I ended up in surgery for my shoulder, but they can not do anything about my migraines. If I get them I just gotta be more still and in dim lights or darkness. My arm needs surgery again, but I just don’t want anymore surgery, I’ve had too many surgeries throughout life. My point is, my checks are only 380 a month and they are still coming from SSA. I questioned the attorney about it and our local SS, they both said because I divorced and got remarried, about 5 years later, that none of my work and paying into SS and Medicare counted, except for the years I’ve worked since remarried. And it didn’t matter if I was considered disabled, my checks are still going to come from SSA. I really don’t understand how it can work that way.?.?
If you're getting SSDI it's based on your past earnings... no way around that. The good thing is that unlike SSI, SSDI is not impacted by assets.... or other passive income you might have coming in.
@@mycologyhikingclub1885 Unless you are on someone else's benefits. For example, I am on my late father's SSDI as I am considered an adult disabled child whereas if I were on my own record ( as I was before he was declared disabled and has since passed away I only would get SSI.
I fought my case with lawyer for 4 years and finally have a favorable decision My statement I use to get in the mail said I had enough credits for me and my children so what is the most you have ever seen on a payout my friend also won his years back he received over 100 grand lump sum
I have seen lump sum payments of $100k or more but usually the lump sum is in the $30k to $50k range. It depends on the amount of the monthly benefit and the length of the delay.
Social Security Disability videos what about my children they are gonna be included correct I have 4 children 3under 18 one. 21 college student my statement the ss office mails out every 4 years the last one I received said my credits had enough and my monthly amount 1700-1800. And my children would get I think half that correct it's been 4 years and subtract 5 month waiting period so I would just use them numbers and figure it out correct and man your videos are awesome
@@ssdattorney I just got a fully favorable decision and they said my EOD is March 2015, Does that mean I will get backpay from 5 months after March of 2015?
Is it ok to call Social Security to ask about award letter after being approved? And that's just to get a heads up on what to expect, or just sit back and continue to be patient after waiting over 2yrs for this blessing?
I am almost to my hearing date for SSI, I have been reading that the lump sum will be paid in 3 installments at every 6 months, the first 2 at 3 times your monthly benefit and the balance in the last payment ,
Thanks again for your support for me today I will be doing this for the next few years and I’m glad to hear that I am glad that you’re doing better than that today thanks again for all 😒
Been on SSI for close to 20 years. When I was married and the husband worked I got 50$ @ month. After I split with him I get just enough to pay my rent( wich is the cheapest in the area and a slum Lord owns the building) and have exactly $100 left over to buy electric and clothes and any thing else like toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap etc. Can not afford to keep a car. I get Medicaid and foodstamps. NY state really sucks. I can't even pay my whole electric bill. My 78 year old mother has to help. She pays for My phone and tv. My health is getting worse as time goes on and moms not going to be hear forever. IV decided that I can't go on and will one day have to end this. I can't go on with the stress... There is no help left as far as financially. I hate how I have to live
No question that the SSI maximum payment of $841 per month (in 2022) is less than survival income (it equals to $10,092 per year). SSI was not intended to support a disabled claimant but the reality is that for many recipients it is their sole source of income.
im on ssi and a very good apt program my apt program puts section 8 to shame my program pays higher rent then section 8 i live in a new 1300 dollar apt in the new building that was built 5 days before i moved in it has new stove new fridge central air conditionning elevator every day i thank god i was able to escaped being the working poor when i was 21 it was a nightmare many working poor people suffere very bad life
I worked for 38 years, and have been unable to work for the last 5. In this time, I've applied for SSDI and been denied twice (based on missing medical info). I didn't appeal those 2 cases due to anxiety. This is my 3rd time around, and its been a year and 4 months. My status online had said 90% complete (medical portion Accepted). Then, last Thursday, it was changed to, my disability has been Approved, and a letter will be sent within the next 2 weeks, explaining my benefit. (Why not torture her for a couple more weeks for good measure!) Does anyone know if I'm going to receive less because I have 0 income over the last 5 years? For the 10 years before that, I was making in the high 60s, and my work history shows an increase in pay through the years. I heard that they base your SSDI on the last 10 years only. How unfair. I'm SO worried and anxious and can't sleep. The amount determines my life, and II haven't a clue what I may receive. Based on experience, does anyone know if it should be over a thousand a month? Thanks. Just hoping to get some sense of what to expect - ball park. (fully understanding that no one here knows anything for sure about my case)
I only receive 569.00 monthly on SS retirement. I have 2 paper routes to make ends meet. They add up to 1200.00 a month. I would like to quit the route as I am 66 and the paper bundles I have to deliver are getting too heavy for me but I'm afraid I would not have enough to live on even with SSI for the elderly. Try living on that. Luckily my bills come to less than 600 a month without my car and insurance payment. I would have to give them up to make ends meet.
Dec 2018, I just got my real estate broker license and just opened my firm. I have only 29 credit for SS so not enough for SSD. I got a stroke Dec 2018 and became disabled. SSI gave me 300. per month for a few month but said my husband was making "too much". He make on W2 24000. but our Tax return shows 17,700 because of the loss of our real estate business. They refuse to consider the loss of our real estate in the calculation, there is a lot incolved in keeping our real estate active, but I am sure they would have added if it was a "+". My husband can not work real estate as he has to take care of me as soon as he gets home from his employed job. Now Jan 2020 they competely cut me off because my husband have apply to receive his SS checks (we need it, we can not survive on 17,700 per year!) now with the 1500 per month SSA and his 17,700 a year, they figure we are like "millionnaire" or something, they cut my SSI to 0 and by doing that, I have lost my Medicaid. I am in a wheelchair, left side paralized. Something I can do? I am in Fort Lauderdale Florida
I was awarded SSDI benefits in the year 2001 with a 2 year retro check. My benefit amount is just under $800 a month and I only received a check on the 3rd of the month. Why am I getting what people on SSI are getting?
@@edwinrodeo I'm only getting $1015.00 a month. It's nearly impossible to find an apartment. I have earned a section 8 voucher too, but landlords don't want someone who is low income. I'm 64 now, I can't go back to work, and I feel like a burden to society.
@@billydeluca6776. I hear your pain. I recently got released from hospital after 6 weeks. Been told I can never work again. Oxygen & specialists for life. Been watching YT channels & comments. So much sorrow Hold on my friend. That’s what I’ve been told. 🙏
Wouldn't that be SSDI not SSI. SSI is what people who have never worked or don't have enough credits for work get. SSDI is when you have worked and paid into social security.
Thank you Jonathan I apply over a year ago I've been paying my bills on my own out of my savings I've been working since I've been on my own since 18 and the jobs that I they are standing the hands and now I'm not well but I do have a lawyer working on my case and my case is going to be her at the end of January of this month the first case they do not have any but my lawyer went and applied appeal so I'm praying hope everything goes through most of the time I'm in pain I don't feel good I have doctors appointments back-and-forth but please give me a vice Jonathan thank you

I was reviewed yesterday for SSI ..I'm assuming I was on SSDI it's been 2 years and hot a letter to come in so I did and she says I wasn't qualified for SSI because I went $2.00 over.I didn't know what she meant she never explained nothing to me I just sat there .All I own is a Car gifted by my dad 2years ago but no longer runs transmission is out. A 2000 Expedition that was sold over 10 years ago my rent is 950.00 My SSDI is $615 monthly my dad helps pay the remaining balance of 335.00 for my rent to equal 950.oo for rent that it, nothing else oh and $8.00 in bank . Where did it go wrong? Just read all my forms she gave me and no where does it say Denied or don't qualify .. I depend on that Money monthly to pay rent. I read somewhere where it said I have 10 days ..Please help me
I won my case 2years ago for SSI Disability . Just recently got a letter I'm assuming for Review well went in and she said Looks like we need to close this old SSI case you had with us 10 years ago so she did then asked me some questions like what do I own I said nothing she said do u still have 2000 Expedition? I said no it was sold 10 years ago . What about Dodge Stratus? I said it's in drive way do t run needs transmission I don't have money to fix it. How much do you have e in bank? I said $8.00 I seen her using calculator then said ok so we r done you went over $2.00 I didn't think nothing of it cause I thought that is SSI Im not worried I get SSDI ..so came home and today I called 211 for referral of QMB and lady says I'm denied SSI I broke down .. I was like why how? And she said I went over $2.00 Will I be getting Denial letter? Can I go back and ask why and how?
I received 1400.00 after lawyer took his fees. Lawyer said I was a point away from said. Hard to believe that. but after waiting over 2 yrs, I was just happy to get something.?? how do I get more.??
Kristina, if you are not insured for SSDI, the only way to gain credits is to work and earn additional credits. For 2017, you need $1,300 to earn one credit, $2,600 for 2, and $5,200 for 4. The most you can earn in a year is 4 credits. You should probably talk to your lawyer about trial work periods and working after a finding of disability.
I had all my credits before 40 as a bridepainter. And its hard to win with ssdi,i fot for closed period because i was 46,but my kids sll got back retro. I went through alot lost my family,cervical surfety and shoulder and hernia surgery in that year.i recently reapplied now im almost 51 and more cervical surgery soon
I'm scheduled for a mental evaluation next month. I am currently struggling with chemotherapy fog, depression and anxiety. I'm 2 month's post chemo. My breast reconstruction surgery is next week. I'm 53 and finding it difficult dealing with this entire situation. Triple Negative Breast cancer grade three aggressive cell is what I had. A reoccurrance is a great fear of mine and I really am afraid of working with patients again. Currently I just hate leaving my home for any reason. Any advice?
I am on ssi and ssdi I get paid $735.00 my first check was this pass January's I am still waiting on back pay..I don't know why I get only 735.00 if I am on ssdi to .should be more .I have work long time many year I have all my points in.
I got approved for SSI in Nevada the first time they went all the way back too when I first applied I went to prison got out had to reapply again even though my condition had worsened they tried to determine that I was not disabled anymore. Then they tell me they only go back to when they determine my disability date so you can find it for 3 years but if they decide at 2 years and 6 months that you're disabled you only get 6 months of back pay. Now I've had spine surgery complete lumbar reconstruction left knee total replacement they told me three years old check on me it's been exactly one year since my spine surgery and I am up for review already and I'm scared I'm going to lose my benefits even though I feel a little better but I'm not in any way shape or form able to work
It's insulting to refer to SSI as welfare. Not everyone's situation is the same. Do you have any up to up-to-date videos? I worked paid into the system since the age of 16 and while appealing and going to 2 hearings they conveniently *forgot* to send me the appeal letter ✉️ after telling me that, "you're calling for updates too much". I then allowed additional time to go by before calling again. Just to be told, "we sent you a notice, and you failed to appeal or notify us." How can I do something I never knew about? IMO, they deliberately didn't send me the letter, and I had to start a new application. By that time, my work credits had expired. While doing the new application, the lady never mentioned to me about the form you did a video on. It took my husband dying and a plandemic for me to be eligible to reapply for SSI. So yea, IMO it's insulting to be in my position and refer to SSI as *welfare* . Not everyone getting SSI is without a tax paying work history. Some of us were robbed of the chance to get it. Lastly, I know you're only speaking on how the two are defined and most likely not your opinion of the two. Gratitude. Tiffany Martinez
SSI is a means tested program for claimants who do not have recent earnings credits. Under SSI's rules you are allowed a whopping $20 (!) per month in income without affecting your monthly benefit. A spouse's earnings reduce the SSI payment as will most support from family. Label it however you want but Congress obviously considers SSI welfare given the harshness of the rules.
@Social Security Disability I INNERstand what you're saying. *The more you know* I'll receive my first direct deposit with back pay in May. After all of the fees...yikes! In 3 years, when I turn 50, I'll be eligible to my husband's benefits. If offered $1M or all the money in the world 🫴🏽 or to become healed in every aspect of the word. I'd choose *healing* and *my husband Henry back* . Gratitude for your time and reply. BTW, I called your office on "Good Friday" without knowing it was a holiday for some.
I just barely got approved for SSDI after turning 50 a year and a half ago. I have 22years of working and my check will be $1,300. monthly. I'm not complaining, but does that seem/sound accurate you. Thanx in advance!
David, the amount of your check is based on a calculation based on what you paid in thru taxes. $1,300 is fairly typical. You may want to set up a MySocialSecurity account to confirm that your earnings were accurately reported.
OK... i'm freaked out by all the comments I found online by people struggling to make ends meet on disability! Been dealing with what I was told were degenerative back issues for the last 4 yrs only to get blindsided by a new diagnosis of MS in 2020! It's taken 4 yrs for my Doctor to get to this complete diagnosis, and i'm still paying off $30,000 in medical debt for diagnostics, tests & medical treatment only to find out I also have MS with all it's related issues! Tried to switch careers only to realize I have cognitive issues and could not progress through the training process due to an inability to comprehend & retain new information! After talking with the SS office in my area I was told that I would only qualify for $920 per month of SSDI because I only worked part time for 4 out of the last 10 yrs!... As much as I struggle physically in my current career, (I have a small cleaning business), I fear the alternative more than the suffering I go through on a daily basis while doing my job to the best of my abilities! Thankful to God for my understanding clients and a good husband that's able bodied and is willing to make up the loss of my income from my having to go part time in order to maintain some semblance of functionality - albeit shaky at best! Still don't understand how it takes so many years to get a proper diagnosis with the technology available in the USA in the 2000's? Had I been diagnosed with MS several yrs ago my body would not have been left to degrade to this point! Being left untreated for years is a huge problem for people with MS! Proper treatment makes the difference between being left reasonably functional or being caught in a downward spiral of rapid disability! 50 yrs old and having to figure out how to reinvent myself and my career in order to keep working in some fashion or risk loosing everything! Disability is not a viable alternative when you're already struggling to pay off crushing debt! God willing... i'll make it through somehow... or die trying! God bless you all and best wishes for the future.
I was self employed for many years making good money and was just told I am approved by SS determination office. Called my local office says my benefit will be $998/month. I don’t know why it’s that low or how I will survive
I just had my hearing today and after my testimony the Judge asked the VE if I could hold a job in the economy if I was to miss 2 days of work a month and the VE said there were no jobs for me. From your video that sounds like a sure win? It was one question only and the answer was no jobs. How long until you think I’ll get a Decision?
@@gaterockin intertwining, so the VE had no say at your hearing? The judge asked my VE if I miss 2 or more days of work a month and the VE said no jobs for me
I have applied for SSDI six months ago and they finally sent me a response, after I saw one of their doctors and called them to give more information. They said I met the medical requirements, but they're still deciding on the non-medical. ?? I just turned 62, and I applied last march. I have been at my last job for 32 years. I've worked since I was 15 years old.
I'm not sure. They said they would make that decision soon. That was over two weeks ago. I filed back in March, but I wasn't considered disabled, until I had to quit my job, back in May. I understand that the back pay won't even go into effect until 5 months after I'm considered disabled, so maybe I'll hear something in November? I guess I'll have to sit tight and wait.
Judy, if you have worked for at least 5 out of the 10 years ending with the year you became disabled, you should be fully insured for SSDI. The amount of your benefit will depend on how much you paid in taxes into the system.
Social Security Disability videos i learned that i get 930 a konth to survive on while my brother gets 1300 and im thenonendealing with a life threatening illness thats crazy im 35 hes almost 50 so hes been putting more into it than me obviously
I was approved for SSDI , in july of this year, social security back billed my first payment to March , deducting for medicare before I was even approved , how can this happen ??? (they said March was the 24 months from benefit start and that date could not be changed)
My question to you sir: I applied for disability back in May of 2021 , I was collecting unemployment up until November 2021, one of the question from unemployment was, " was you willing and able to work the week of" of course I put yes,but if I was applying for disability,will they hold me accountable for that?
I just apply for SSDI and I asked my attorney can I apply for unemployment and he said that wouldn't be a good look because the Social Security is going to look at you your willing and able to work and I'm glad I didn't apply for unemployment so they may deny you if I were you I would get an attorney good luck
Why did ssi reduce my $733 a month to $488 amonth im very sick i pay rent and food and stuff i need my rent is $450 a month im so scared will it go back $733 or no i cant work im so sick im so scared and confused what should i do?
I was just approved for social security and people are coming at me like vultures because they think I am going to get a 10k or lump sum of money, but I am behind on bills to catch. Do you have a video of what we can do protect our social security money from creditors and vultures?
@@saraneal4790 I got approved for SSDI in 3.5 months. I made sure my application and the doctor’s note matched. I replied right away when they needed information. I put in details how being disabled effected my lifestyle. I made sure I was taking my medication and that it matched the doctor’s notes. That is how you get approved in 3 months.
Hi. My case has been in reconsideration since May 10th. Saw their Dr. On August 29 th (49yrs old), dr stated I'm disabled and they don't know why ss is sending me to her and ordering xrays. I'm going for total hip replacement on October 9th. I was under the impression hip joint is a approval, I also had a three tier spinal fusion which failed in 2016. I didn't apply for ssdi until December of 2017. Don't understand why it's taking so long.
I agree that you should have been approved long ago. SSA is horribly inefficient and understaffed and it is not uncommon for even the most obvious cases to be denied and moved on down the line.
it's was medical mental and physical. physical wouldn't leave the station. therapist diagnosis depression. I saw a clinical psychologist social anxiety And depression disability only
I finally got my decision letter in the mail, Fully Favorable. Now my Question is: if I have an onset date of 11 sep 2013, file date january 14, decision november 30, 2016. Whats the total months of back pay eligibility
Michael, the decision date is irrelevant. If you filed on January 14, 2014, alleging an onset of Sept. 11, 2013, you can go back one year from the application date so the Sept. 11, 2013 date is within the year. The 5 month waiting period starts in October, 2013 (partial months don't count) so your are first payable March, 2014.
I was awarded a FULLY FAVORABLE DECISION at my hearing, and I was told that i will receive ssi and ssdi. I went to the ss office on today and I thought they was going to explain how everything works. I left there more confessed than ever. The person that I was talking seem like he did not want to explain in detail, so I left still not knowing. Now with ssi and ssdi do you get back pay for both also do they go back from the time I applied and do I get 2 seprate check? The reason I am asking the time that I was not working started back in March 2015 til now I owe back rent and I have to pay the lawyer as well....Thank for the video
Monuette, you will get the higher of the two, as normally SSDI offsets SSI. You may get some SSI if there is overlap during the 5 month waiting period for SSDI. Your lawyer should be able to run the numbers and explain.
What about child support taken out of ssdi or ssi? How much can child support take? Awesome videos!! I have a hearing coming up for ssi ssdi. I have been working since i was 15 years old. Bipolar and ptsd diagnosed when i was 22
I am a stage 4 pancreatic cancer and liver masses patient I filed for SSDI and my husband's SS as he has passed, it's been a year now I finally am waiting on a telecom hearing, I had been denied twice before can you maybe give m and idea how long it takes to get a hearing
Ssi is for people with disabilities and can’t work so why do people think it’s just for people who don’t want to work? Truth is you can quit your job today and sign up for ssi and you won’t get it, there are people with real disabilities that don’t even get approved and if you do get approved you have to wait at least 2 years until you receive any money so please stop falling for the hype!! No one will go without a job and without money for 2 years just to end up getting $700 a month for the rest of their life because that money will all be spent the first week you get it!!!
I have a borderline personality disorder and I havent worked much as a result. I also have chronic pain which is more recent. My lawyer is trying to reopen my ssi case from 1 year ago and said I could get back pay from 2016.
I had fought for 4 years for my widow pay and got it I used my SSI to show that I was disabled and was sent letter saying I would get back pay of 3377311 I did not get one penny of it was took to pay back SSI.i don't understand how one disability is took to pay the other whenbi still disablef?
What numbers do they use to determine your monthly benefit for ssdi ? I was making 45k per year prior to getting injured. I went on long term disability with a monthly benefit of 2600 monthly. Am I required to pay back the long term disability company.
Im still confused. You helped me out alot. The judge Gave me a fully favorable decision at my hearing this morning. So will I get both back pays? SSDI and SSI?? Either way I'm looking at 24 months of payments. I deserve it. It's been rough losing everything due to being disable?
I just had my hearing for SSI and the judge asked the the VE one question, if I could hold a job in the economy if I were to miss work 2 days a month and the VE said there were no jobs. That was it. Court Adjourned. From what I hear if your VE says no jobs that’s a win, would you agree?
@@namenotimportant6838 totally agree! My judge started talking extremely fast to the VE using hyporthetic questions about would this person be able to find employment. VE says No. Judge asked another question which made me even more nervous and the VE says No. The final conclusion the Judge says I find you disable so I'm allowing you benefits. So I haven't even got the paperwork yet. My heart jump with so much joy but because everything was being recorded I had to wait to let it out. Truly blessed for this fully favorable decision. I was out of options. I even tried going back to work twice but it didn't work. I made a nice amount of Money at my previous jobs so SSDI is nowhere near my old salary. But this will at least keep food on my table while I continue treatments
@@butterbaby5484 question I'm 30 from ohio I dont meet the work credentials but I do for the disability I have had 4 mini strokes to my brain and others separate to my kidneys. I had to have open heart surgery in less than a years time ago and had a couple heart valves replaced and was on dialysis for a while do you think I'll get approved straight up from the bat? I also let SSI know I'm having another heart surgery here at the end of march to. I pray to go I get approved and it goes faster I've been through hell these past few years
@@coreybunting2752 so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you been thru alot. Medical evidence is everything when it comes to applying for SSDI. I believe your medical records will speak for itself and with said you will be approved for benefits.
Lol funny they denied someone with hearing loss and hearing aids and a fucking speech just because I had a 7.25 an hr job and all my doctors are willing to speak against my will yet they keep denying what a damn joke
what happens if you get ssdi and then your spouse gets ssi. do they cut you benifits. my brother is worried they will loose money. he makes $1800.00 per month

Greg Hakes congrats im almost there 99% done
Thats amazing!

That's a blessing I am hoping the same happens for me my SSI claim has been pending for over 60 months and my lawyers are still fighting
With the help from you I won my SSD &SSDI, it's been 4 yrs since the beginning, I've lost a lot during this time & became homeless, but with the pay back I'll be able to get a small home and start again. Your videos have helped me a lot, & thank you
Congratulations and you are very welcome.
jtdubi3 lol i hope i get my back pay lol
Lol i hope i get my too
Sry to hear u lost so much during the waiting time, i missed the ssdi by 2 points crazy huh, at the time i did mine they went 5yrs back but dont count 1 yr of it crazy huh, but i got a great lawyer and got the ssi .. always have a lawyer from the get go they always denies 3 times almost a normal thing.
Hi. I'm just seeing your message. It's been 6 years since you posted. I hope you're doing great now. I'm where you were back then, waiting and waiting for progress on my case. I read online last week that my application was accepted, but I won't believe anything until I have the letter in my hand. I'm really hoping it's enough to get by.
I was approved today in just 6 weeks. However, I have a condition on the CAL list and I gave them clear, objective evidence supporting my diagnosis. Very thankful.
These lawyer's are the best ,it's so generous of you.thank you.
You are welcome.
Took me 29 months and age 61 to receive my ssdi. After working hard physical works 41 years into the system. I look back and sure am glad I paid ss for 41 years.
Thank you so much your videos have greatly helped me out, i have been denied for 8 yrs for my disabled son I received a favorable decision in the mail this week.
I just received my monthly payment and it is $ 2,356.00 in California.... thanks for all your advice,, it was very helpful,, thank you..
How long did it take you to get this after the favorable notice
It took three months,,, exactly,, they pay you on the day of the month you were born,,, weird but that's how they do it,,,, first they send you a couple of letters right after your court date,,, then a letter to verify your bank and deposit info , then they send you a letter with the amount they are awarding you monthly and the date of your first payment,,, good luck to you,,, any questions please feel free to contact me,,,,👍🏼🙏🏼
@@Delfi1900 Thanks for the info. Do they sent the back pay with the first payment?
Hello quick question i dont know if im going to apply ssdi or ssi dont know whats the difference between the two i just got a car accident last year 2019 since then never been back to work my state disability runs out in short my 6 to 9 months more recovery let me know thanks in advance
Is that ssi ssdi
I walked off the job Sept. 15,2021 , applied for benefits Dec. 22, 2021 , recived my Notice of Award Jan. 27,2022 of $1720.00 monthly starting in March and it is all from learning how to fill out the application from you and for that I will always be grateful . Thank You .
Really? That was fast what I don't get is that there's many people out there with really severe cases of pain and illness and halfway dead & gets denied take years for them to be approved now that don't make sense & it's sad
After years of appeals I finally got partial and based on my wife's income I feel defeated..after working 30 years paid into the system I feel our government does not take care of its own
If you don't have enough credits in the past 10 years to qualify on your earnings record you would only be eligible for SSI and your wife's income would disqualify you per the "deeming" rules.
Everyone praying they get approved you should be praying you get healthy
So true! But I think many people like myself have prayed to get better for years and prayers went unanswered so we pray for something else that will help us.
@@cfoster6804 send telepathic messages to a space alien...same result.
yah, been praying and trying everything in my power to get healthy for over 20 years. Basically screwed myself because I tried to keep myself afloat by working part-time jobs. Was too proud to apply, didn't want to be seen as disabled and now at the point I can barely do anything and have to get on SSI instead of SSDI because I don't have enough work credits due to working part-time for so long. I'm guessing you don't have a disabling condition. You might want to keep the "SHOULD" out.
Also, you have given a lot if help to my case as well as my own attorney. Just understanding the process.
Got approves 3 days before hearing
I started receiving SSA in 2016, due to 2 accidents that caused an inoperable brain aneurysm, broken nose, nerve damage to my R side, head to toe and a top total humerus and shoulder break, that caused them to cut 2 sections of bone out so they could try posting and bracketing it together. They did not connect any muscle or ligaments or nerves back up as they did not think it was going to grow back together. I have also been fighting severe anxiety and depression prior to and got worse after accidents, causing PTSD. My nerve issues, balance and eye sight,(due to aneurysm), and memory has gotten worse also. 2 years ago SS sent me a letter saying I was deemed disabled and would be put on Medicare, I am now 58 years old. I have worked several jobs and filed my own taxes since I was 19 years old. The last job I was at for 11 years, prior to that I had 2 jobs at the same time, one for 10 years and one for 5 years, so I had steady income coming in for years. I also tried working after 2 years of breaking my arm, as it finally grew together after 1n 1/2 years. My bosses were very good to me and when I started getting major migraines and my shoulder joint got over worked, they moved me around to 3 different positions. The last one I loved, as it was inventory counts and sinking it into their database. But after 4 months, I had to quit, as my migraines and shoulder got worse. I ended up in surgery for my shoulder, but they can not do anything about my migraines. If I get them I just gotta be more still and in dim lights or darkness. My arm needs surgery again, but I just don’t want anymore surgery, I’ve had too many surgeries throughout life. My point is, my checks are only 380 a month and they are still coming from SSA. I questioned the attorney about it and our local SS, they both said because I divorced and got remarried, about 5 years later, that none of my work and paying into SS and Medicare counted, except for the years I’ve worked since remarried. And it didn’t matter if I was considered disabled, my checks are still going to come from SSA. I really don’t understand how it can work that way.?.?
Im insane but I will never give up..
Sum one Killd My Baby but I din't want it no mo This is one of the best comments I've ever seen on CZcams... thanks
What a morbid screen name
@@cfoster6804 ya, that spelling is so cringey huh?
i worked for 30 years and all i draw is the same amount as someone who has never worked.
Ben Townsend lol 😆
someone who never worked can't get ssdi trust me i tried
If you're getting SSDI it's based on your past earnings... no way around that. The good thing is that unlike SSI, SSDI is not impacted by assets.... or other passive income you might have coming in.
@@mycologyhikingclub1885 Unless you are on someone else's benefits. For example, I am on my late father's SSDI as I am considered an adult disabled child whereas if I were on my own record ( as I was before he was declared disabled and has since passed away I only would get SSI.
Recent work history? Or a minimal award supplemented by SSI
With concurrent benefits but only ever having recieved ssdi benefits like zero from SSI ever then who would pay my back pay thank you for ur time
Oh I pray that I'm approved. Father God. Help
Yes ..................I WILL MAKE IT SO.
🙏
Me too 🙌🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻
Me two pray for me
I get approved thank you I appreciated your video
Congratulations!
I fought my case with lawyer for 4 years and finally have a favorable decision My statement I use to get in the mail said I had enough credits for me and my children so what is the most you have ever seen on a payout my friend also won his years back he received over 100 grand lump sum
I have seen lump sum payments of $100k or more but usually the lump sum is in the $30k to $50k range. It depends on the amount of the monthly benefit and the length of the delay.
Social Security Disability videos what about my children they are gonna be included correct I have 4 children 3under 18 one. 21 college student my statement the ss office mails out every 4 years the last one I received said my credits had enough and my monthly amount 1700-1800. And my children would get I think half that correct it's been 4 years and subtract 5 month waiting period so I would just use them numbers and figure it out correct and man your videos are awesome
@@ssdattorney I just got a fully favorable decision and they said my EOD is March 2015, Does that mean I will get backpay from 5 months after March of 2015?
I love this guy
You have good taste!
+Social Security Disability videos ☺👍
Social Security Disability videos hey ,I have good Taste too ha ha
Do you get extra per child????
@@mrscox27 Yes you do.
Great Video.. Thanks for clear explanation
Is it ok to call Social Security to ask about award letter after being approved? And that's just to get a heads up on what to expect, or just sit back and continue to be patient after waiting over 2yrs for this blessing?
Good information!!
I am almost to my hearing date for SSI, I have been reading that the lump sum will be paid in 3 installments at every 6 months, the first 2 at 3 times your monthly benefit and the balance in the last payment ,
I did my hearing already last year and at the end of this month I’m getting a decision
Thanks again for your support for me today I will be doing this for the next few years and I’m glad to hear that I am glad that you’re doing better than that today thanks again for all 😒
I been waiting for 5 yrs
Yay can't wait to get my divedens 💰
Been on SSI for close to 20 years. When I was married and the husband worked I got 50$ @ month. After I split with him I get just enough to pay my rent( wich is the cheapest in the area and a slum Lord owns the building) and have exactly $100 left over to buy electric and clothes and any thing else like toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap etc. Can not afford to keep a car. I get Medicaid and foodstamps. NY state really sucks.
I can't even pay my whole electric bill. My 78 year old mother has to help. She pays for My phone and tv. My health is getting worse as time goes on and moms not going to be hear forever. IV decided that I can't go on and will one day have to end this. I can't go on with the stress... There is no help left as far as financially. I hate how I have to live
No question that the SSI maximum payment of $841 per month (in 2022) is less than survival income (it equals to $10,092 per year). SSI was not intended to support a disabled claimant but the reality is that for many recipients it is their sole source of income.
Thank you.
I’ve been wondering about this.
I'm only 19 and I have anxiety and depression and 3 learning disabilities and borderline impairment
Very good explanation, thank you.
You are very welcome.
im on ssi and a very good apt program my apt program puts section 8 to shame my program pays higher rent then section 8 i live in a new 1300 dollar apt in the new building that was built 5 days before i moved in it has new stove new fridge central air conditionning elevator every day i thank god i was able to escaped being the working poor when i was 21 it was a nightmare many working poor people suffere very bad life
I worked for 38 years, and have been unable to work for the last 5. In this time, I've applied for SSDI and been denied twice (based on missing medical info). I didn't appeal those 2 cases due to anxiety. This is my 3rd time around, and its been a year and 4 months. My status online had said 90% complete (medical portion Accepted). Then, last Thursday, it was changed to, my disability has been Approved, and a letter will be sent within the next 2 weeks, explaining my benefit. (Why not torture her for a couple more weeks for good measure!) Does anyone know if I'm going to receive less because I have 0 income over the last 5 years? For the 10 years before that, I was making in the high 60s, and my work history shows an increase in pay through the years. I heard that they base your SSDI on the last 10 years only. How unfair. I'm SO worried and anxious and can't sleep. The amount determines my life, and II haven't a clue what I may receive. Based on experience, does anyone know if it should be over a thousand a month? Thanks. Just hoping to get some sense of what to expect - ball park. (fully understanding that no one here knows anything for sure about my case)
I need to know the same thing
Hello sir, so if I have Rheumatoid arthritis I should apply for ssdi? Thank you!
I only receive 569.00 monthly on SS retirement. I have 2 paper routes to make ends meet. They add up to 1200.00 a month. I would like to quit the route as I am 66 and the paper bundles I have to deliver are getting too heavy for me but I'm afraid I would not have enough to live on even with SSI for the elderly. Try living on that. Luckily my bills come to less than 600 a month without my car and insurance payment. I would have to give them up to make ends meet.
Sorry to hear that yes the world has way to many screwed up.things going on
Dec 2018, I just got my real estate broker license and just opened my firm. I have only 29 credit for SS so not enough for SSD. I got a stroke Dec 2018 and became disabled. SSI gave me 300. per month for a few month but said my husband was making "too much". He make on W2 24000. but our Tax return shows 17,700 because of the loss of our real estate business. They refuse to consider the loss of our real estate in the calculation, there is a lot incolved in keeping our real estate active, but I am sure they would have added if it was a "+". My husband can not work real estate as he has to take care of me as soon as he gets home from his employed job. Now Jan 2020 they competely cut me off because my husband have apply to receive his SS checks (we need it, we can not survive on 17,700 per year!) now with the 1500 per month SSA and his 17,700 a year, they figure we are like "millionnaire" or something, they cut my SSI to 0 and by doing that, I have lost my Medicaid. I am in a wheelchair, left side paralized. Something I can do? I am in Fort Lauderdale Florida
Thank you so much "social security disability videos guy for the kind response...
I got my SSI check today..bout $1300 I got. :D
I just got approved today. So happy for you
I was awarded SSDI benefits in the year 2001 with a 2 year retro check. My benefit amount is just under $800 a month and I only received a check on the 3rd of the month. Why am I getting what people on SSI are getting?
The amount of your SSDI is a function of what you paid into the system.
You should also apply for ssi since your ssdi payment is below the limit!!
How are you doing since 6.years ago. Only curious if you’re doing ok 👍. Best wishes to you 🙏
@@edwinrodeo I'm only getting $1015.00 a month. It's nearly impossible to find an apartment. I have earned a section 8 voucher too, but landlords don't want someone who is low income. I'm 64 now, I can't go back to work, and I feel like a burden to society.
@@billydeluca6776. I hear your pain. I recently got released from hospital after 6 weeks. Been told I can never work again. Oxygen & specialists for life. Been watching YT channels & comments. So much sorrow
Hold on my friend. That’s what I’ve been told. 🙏
I get 1800 a month! SSI and the reason I get that much is,because I'm a military veteran with combat duty!!
Wouldn't that be SSDI not SSI. SSI is what people who have never worked or don't have enough credits for work get. SSDI is when you have worked and paid into social security.
Thank you Jonathan I apply over a year ago I've been paying my bills on my own out of my savings I've been working since I've been on my own since 18 and the jobs that I they are standing the hands and now I'm not well but I do have a lawyer working on my case and my case is going to be her at the end of January of this month the first case they do not have any but my lawyer went and applied appeal so I'm praying hope everything goes through most of the time I'm in pain I don't feel good I have doctors appointments back-and-forth but please give me a vice Jonathan thank you

Where did it go wrong? Just read all my forms she gave me and no where does it say Denied or don't qualify .. I depend on that Money monthly to pay rent. I read somewhere where it said I have 10 days ..Please help me
I won my case 2years ago for SSI Disability . Just recently got a letter I'm assuming for Review well went in and she said Looks like we need to close this old SSI case you had with us 10 years ago so she did then asked me some questions like what do I own I said nothing she said do u still have 2000 Expedition?

Have you applied for section 8 housing?
I received 1400.00 after lawyer took his fees. Lawyer said I was a point away from said. Hard to believe that. but after waiting over 2 yrs, I was just happy to get something.?? how do I get more.??
Kristina, if you are not insured for SSDI, the only way to gain credits is to work and earn additional credits. For 2017, you need $1,300 to earn one credit, $2,600 for 2, and $5,200 for 4. The most you can earn in a year is 4 credits. You should probably talk to your lawyer about trial work periods and working after a finding of disability.
I had all my credits before 40 as a bridepainter.
And its hard to win with ssdi,i fot for closed period because i was 46,but my kids sll got back retro.
I went through alot lost my family,cervical surfety and shoulder and hernia surgery in that year.i recently reapplied now im almost 51 and more cervical surgery soon
I'm scheduled for a mental evaluation next month. I am currently struggling with chemotherapy fog, depression and anxiety. I'm 2 month's post chemo. My breast reconstruction surgery is next week. I'm 53 and finding it difficult dealing with this entire situation. Triple Negative Breast cancer grade three aggressive cell is what I had. A reoccurrance is a great fear of mine and I really am afraid of working with patients again. Currently I just hate leaving my home for any reason. Any advice?
I live in PA and they don't want to give me anymore then $778 a month plus they don't want to give my daughter and i snap .I am a widow and no help
I am on ssi and ssdi I get paid $735.00 my first check was this pass January's I am still waiting on back pay..I don't know why I get only 735.00 if I am on ssdi to .should be more .I have work long time many year I have all my points in.
I just filed an I am 55 I'm a diabetic, copd, and fibromyalgia... I stay in pain all the time ... I hope I get mine
I would focus on specific symptoms that would make you unreliable at work.
I got approved for SSI in Nevada the first time they went all the way back too when I first applied I went to prison got out had to reapply again even though my condition had worsened they tried to determine that I was not disabled anymore. Then they tell me they only go back to when they determine my disability date so you can find it for 3 years but if they decide at 2 years and 6 months that you're disabled you only get 6 months of back pay. Now I've had spine surgery complete lumbar reconstruction left knee total replacement they told me three years old check on me it's been exactly one year since my spine surgery and I am up for review already and I'm scared I'm going to lose my benefits even though I feel a little better but I'm not in any way shape or form able to work
It's insulting to refer to SSI as welfare. Not everyone's situation is the same.
Do you have any up to up-to-date videos?
I worked paid into the system since the age of 16 and while appealing and going to 2 hearings they conveniently *forgot* to send me the appeal letter ✉️ after telling me that, "you're calling for updates too much". I then allowed additional time to go by before calling again. Just to be told, "we sent you a notice, and you failed to appeal or notify us."
How can I do something I never knew about?
IMO, they deliberately didn't send me the letter, and I had to start a new application. By that time, my work credits had expired. While doing the new application, the lady never mentioned to me about the form you did a video on.
It took my husband dying and a plandemic for me to be eligible to reapply for SSI.
So yea, IMO it's insulting to be in my position and refer to SSI as *welfare* . Not everyone getting SSI is without a tax paying work history. Some of us were robbed of the chance to get it.
Lastly, I know you're only speaking on how the two are defined and most likely not your opinion of the two.
Gratitude.
Tiffany Martinez
SSI is a means tested program for claimants who do not have recent earnings credits. Under SSI's rules you are allowed a whopping $20 (!) per month in income without affecting your monthly benefit. A spouse's earnings reduce the SSI payment as will most support from family. Label it however you want but Congress obviously considers SSI welfare given the harshness of the rules.
@Social Security Disability
I INNERstand what you're saying. *The more you know*
I'll receive my first direct deposit with back pay in May. After all of the fees...yikes!
In 3 years, when I turn 50, I'll be eligible to my husband's benefits.
If offered $1M or all the money in the world 🫴🏽 or to become healed in every aspect of the word. I'd choose *healing* and *my husband Henry back* .
Gratitude for your time and reply.
BTW, I called your office on "Good Friday" without knowing it was a holiday for some.
I just barely got approved for SSDI after turning 50 a year and a half ago. I have 22years of working and my check will be $1,300. monthly. I'm not complaining, but does that seem/sound accurate you. Thanx in advance!
David, the amount of your check is based on a calculation based on what you paid in thru taxes. $1,300 is fairly typical. You may want to set up a MySocialSecurity account to confirm that your earnings were accurately reported.
Thank you so very much, and I will do so :))
david banner lol should have a high paying job
OK... i'm freaked out by all the comments I found online by people struggling to make ends meet on disability! Been dealing with what I was told were degenerative back issues for the last 4 yrs only to get blindsided by a new diagnosis of MS in 2020! It's taken 4 yrs for my Doctor to get to this complete diagnosis, and i'm still paying off $30,000 in medical debt for diagnostics, tests & medical treatment only to find out I also have MS with all it's related issues! Tried to switch careers only to realize I have cognitive issues and could not progress through the training process due to an inability to comprehend & retain new information! After talking with the SS office in my area I was told that I would only qualify for $920 per month of SSDI because I only worked part time for 4 out of the last 10 yrs!... As much as I struggle physically in my current career, (I have a small cleaning business), I fear the alternative more than the suffering I go through on a daily basis while doing my job to the best of my abilities! Thankful to God for my understanding clients and a good husband that's able bodied and is willing to make up the loss of my income from my having to go part time in order to maintain some semblance of functionality - albeit shaky at best! Still don't understand how it takes so many years to get a proper diagnosis with the technology available in the USA in the 2000's? Had I been diagnosed with MS several yrs ago my body would not have been left to degrade to this point! Being left untreated for years is a huge problem for people with MS! Proper treatment makes the difference between being left reasonably functional or being caught in a downward spiral of rapid disability!
50 yrs old and having to figure out how to reinvent myself and my career in order to keep working in some fashion or risk loosing everything! Disability is not a viable alternative when you're already struggling to pay off crushing debt!
God willing... i'll make it through somehow... or die trying!
God bless you all and best wishes for the future.
I was self employed for many years making good money and was just told I am approved by SS determination office. Called my local office says my benefit will be $998/month. I don’t know why it’s that low or how I will survive
Is it possible to post a video of the in and outs of the benefits for an adult child since birth? Greatly appreciated
I just had my hearing today and after my testimony the Judge asked the VE if I could hold a job in the economy if I was to miss 2 days of work a month and the VE said there were no jobs for me. From your video that sounds like a sure win? It was one question only and the answer was no jobs. How long until you think I’ll get a Decision?
My judge told me after the hearing was over
@@gaterockin did the VE say there were no jobs for you?
@@namenotimportant6838 No the judge only asked one question he asked how many times can you miss work and still keep your job
@@gaterockin intertwining, so the VE had no say at your hearing? The judge asked my VE if I miss 2 or more days of work a month and the VE said no jobs for me
I have applied for SSDI six months ago and they finally sent me a response, after I saw one of their doctors and called them to give more information. They said I met the medical requirements, but they're still deciding on the non-medical. ?? I just turned 62, and I applied last march. I have been at my last job for 32 years. I've worked since I was 15 years old.
It seems to me that you should clearly be insured for SSDI. What are they checking?
I'm not sure. They said they would make that decision soon. That was over two weeks ago. I filed back in March, but I wasn't considered disabled, until I had to quit my job, back in May. I understand that the back pay won't even go into effect until 5 months after I'm considered disabled, so maybe I'll hear something in November? I guess I'll have to sit tight and wait.
Do people really see ghosts in gettisburg
@@lisamiles3928 Wrong video.
I have the required work points for my State. I believe it's 40. will I ,if approved ,decievers the amount you stated?
recieve. sorry spell check is awful
Judy, if you have worked for at least 5 out of the 10 years ending with the year you became disabled, you should be fully insured for SSDI. The amount of your benefit will depend on how much you paid in taxes into the system.
Thank you for the feedback.
Social Security Disability videos i learned that i get 930 a konth to survive on while my brother gets 1300 and im thenonendealing with a life threatening illness thats crazy im 35 hes almost 50 so hes been putting more into it than me obviously
@@brianjackson3885 What's you're point? Like you said he put in more than you. Don't act entitled. You make our generation look bad.
I was approved for SSDI , in july of this year, social security back billed my first payment to March , deducting for medicare before I was even approved , how can this happen ??? (they said March was the 24 months from benefit start and that date could not be changed)
My question to you sir: I applied for disability back in May of 2021 , I was collecting unemployment up until November 2021, one of the question from unemployment was, " was you willing and able to work the week of" of course I put yes,but if I was applying for disability,will they hold me accountable for that?
I just apply for SSDI and I asked my attorney can I apply for unemployment and he said that wouldn't be a good look because the Social Security is going to look at you your willing and able to work and I'm glad I didn't apply for unemployment so they may deny you if I were you I would get an attorney good luck
Why did ssi reduce my $733 a month to $488 amonth im very sick i pay rent and food and stuff i need my rent is $450 a month im so scared will it go back $733 or no i cant work im so sick im so scared and confused what should i do?
Do you live with someone and have to count their income??
I was just approved for social security and people are coming at me like vultures because they think I am going to get a 10k or lump sum of money, but I am behind on bills to catch. Do you have a video of what we can do protect our social security money from creditors and vultures?
Did u approved for SSI
@@saraneal4790 I got approved for SSDI in 3.5 months. I made sure my application and the doctor’s note matched. I replied right away when they needed information. I put in details how being disabled effected my lifestyle. I made sure I was taking my medication and that it matched the doctor’s notes. That is how you get approved in 3 months.
I hope i get better and hope i get something
Hi. My case has been in reconsideration since May 10th. Saw their Dr. On August 29 th (49yrs old), dr stated I'm disabled and they don't know why ss is sending me to her and ordering xrays. I'm going for total hip replacement on October 9th. I was under the impression hip joint is a approval, I also had a three tier spinal fusion which failed in 2016. I didn't apply for ssdi until December of 2017. Don't understand why it's taking so long.
I agree that you should have been approved long ago. SSA is horribly inefficient and understaffed and it is not uncommon for even the most obvious cases to be denied and moved on down the line.
how long do you have to wait to get the back money after your first payment with SSI?
Did you get a answer
it's was medical mental and physical. physical wouldn't leave the station. therapist diagnosis depression. I saw a clinical psychologist social anxiety And depression disability only
I finally got my decision letter in the mail, Fully Favorable. Now my Question is: if I have an onset date of 11 sep 2013, file date january 14, decision november 30, 2016. Whats the total months of back pay eligibility
Michael, the decision date is irrelevant. If you filed on January 14, 2014, alleging an onset of Sept. 11, 2013, you can go back one year from the application date so the Sept. 11, 2013 date is within the year. The 5 month waiting period starts in October, 2013 (partial months don't count) so your are first payable March, 2014.
Thanks so very much
How does SSDI work when you have children? I have four will they get benefits too upon my approval?
I thought SSDI back pay was limited to 12 months.
my son is 19 and has cerbal parsley. How long will they use my income to to determine his ssd
lokreds - he won’t get ssdi he will get ssi.
I was awarded a FULLY FAVORABLE DECISION at my hearing, and I was told that i will receive ssi and ssdi. I went to the ss office on today and I thought they was going to explain how everything works. I left there more confessed than ever. The person that I was talking seem like he did not want to explain in detail, so I left still not knowing. Now with ssi and ssdi do you get back pay for both also do they go back from the time I applied and do I get 2 seprate check? The reason I am asking the time that I was not working started back in March 2015 til now I owe back rent and I have to pay the lawyer as well....Thank for the video
Monuette, you will get the higher of the two, as normally SSDI offsets SSI. You may get some SSI if there is overlap during the 5 month waiting period for SSDI. Your lawyer should be able to run the numbers and explain.
Hi Jonathan I have a disability review for blindness,I am told I get to keep more,of my money each month I would like to know how that works
Cameron, I don't understand your question. Please elaborate.
What about child support taken out of ssdi or ssi? How much can child support take? Awesome videos!! I have a hearing coming up for ssi ssdi. I have been working since i was 15 years old. Bipolar and ptsd diagnosed when i was 22

What are the benefits for an adult child?
IF YOU RECEIVING SSDI CAN YOU STILL WORK?How much is the limit should you make a month with out losing your benefits? Thank you
菜斯利菲佛，多多益善！
Ssi is for people with disabilities and can’t work so why do people think it’s just for people who don’t want to work? Truth is you can quit your job today and sign up for ssi and you won’t get it, there are people with real disabilities that don’t even get approved and if you do get approved you have to wait at least 2 years until you receive any money so please stop falling for the hype!! No one will go without a job and without money for 2 years just to end up getting $700 a month for the rest of their life because that money will all be spent the first week you get it!!!
I have a question. Since I draw as disabled adult child and my father retired in the military, do you think I should qualify as a secondary dependent?
On the ssa website it says if i were to be disabled right now i would get 1395 a month, is this right? i applied for ssdi for depression. Thank u
Melissa, the amount of your SSDI payment is calculated based on what you paid into the system. It is not a fixed amount.
Social Security Disability videos how do you calculate?
If just won after 10 yr3s but only getting six yrs of money,not complaining just saying
听起来热情和有经验，有人在油管冒充名字，什么用意和目的？直接说出来呀！
I have a borderline personality disorder and I havent worked much as a result. I also have chronic pain which is more recent. My lawyer is trying to reopen my ssi case from 1 year ago and said I could get back pay from 2016.
It depends on when you stopped working
The people who I live with are not showing me my paper work and not letting me hold on to my card and its there place what do I do
So and what would I have to prove to everyone in order to get approved ? And if i do how long would I be on ssi?
Jonathan, an SSDI attorney can be hired from anywhere, not just where you live, correct?
+lingsto195 - yes, that is true
I live in Wisconsin and I need a lawyer
I had fought for 4 years for my widow pay and got it I used my SSI to show that I was disabled and was sent letter saying I would get back pay of 3377311 I did not get one penny of it was took to pay back SSI.i don't understand how one disability is took to pay the other whenbi still disablef?
What numbers do they use to determine your monthly benefit for ssdi ? I was making 45k per year prior to getting injured. I went on long term disability with a monthly benefit of 2600 monthly. Am I required to pay back the long term disability company.
I'm only getting 850 on disability
Ssdi or ssi??
What state r u in and ssi or ssdi?
Have u ever worked
@@mopheousredpill7462 what is the difference between ssi and ssd
Im still confused. You helped me out alot. The judge Gave me a fully favorable decision at my hearing this morning. So will I get both back pays? SSDI and SSI?? Either way I'm looking at 24 months of payments. I deserve it. It's been rough losing everything due to being disable?
I just had my hearing for SSI and the judge asked the the VE one question, if I could hold a job in the economy if I were to miss work 2 days a month and the VE said there were no jobs. That was it. Court Adjourned. From what I hear if your VE says no jobs that’s a win, would you agree?
@@namenotimportant6838 totally agree! My judge started talking extremely fast to the VE using hyporthetic questions about would this person be able to find employment. VE says No. Judge asked another question which made me even more nervous and the VE says No. The final conclusion the Judge says I find you disable so I'm allowing you benefits. So I haven't even got the paperwork yet. My heart jump with so much joy but because everything was being recorded I had to wait to let it out. Truly blessed for this fully favorable decision. I was out of options. I even tried going back to work twice but it didn't work. I made a nice amount of Money at my previous jobs so SSDI is nowhere near my old salary. But this will at least keep food on my table while I continue treatments
@@butterbaby5484 question I'm 30 from ohio I dont meet the work credentials but I do for the disability
I have had 4 mini strokes to my brain and others separate to my kidneys. I had to have open heart surgery in less than a years time ago and had a couple heart valves replaced and was on dialysis for a while do you think I'll get approved straight up from the bat? I also let SSI know I'm having another heart surgery here at the end of march to. I pray to go I get approved and it goes faster I've been through hell these past few years
@@coreybunting2752 so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you been thru alot. Medical evidence is everything when it comes to applying for SSDI. I believe your medical records will speak for itself and with said you will be approved for benefits.
I thought back pay was only upto 12 months 🤔
Lol funny they denied someone with hearing loss and hearing aids and a fucking speech just because I had a 7.25 an hr job and all my doctors are willing to speak against my will yet they keep denying what a damn joke
what happens if you get ssdi and then your spouse gets ssi. do they cut you benifits. my brother is worried they will loose money. he makes $1800.00 per month
SSI amount depends on his income and assets
How much will a dac receive from their parents work record?
I am on SSDI and only getting $ 945.00 a month why is that
That's how much you paid into it.
I know a guy in his 40's who claims he receives his fathers Social Security ...How is that possible at his age?
Possibly - if he has a lifelong disability.
