social security benefits for seniors are an essential safety net for many, but it's also crucial to plan ahead and invest wisely for your retirement. Diversifying your investments across can help build wealth over time. It's never too early to start saving and investing for a comfortable retirement. I’m 63 and my husband 65 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income. ....
What if God is not on my schedule.
More than half of Americans currently live paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford even a small problem with the car. There is no money to save.
HONESTLY, when is the best time to take social security???? I’m getting close to retirement and that’s the one question that has filled my mind
Exactly! My brother passed away at 61 yrs & 2 months. It breaks my heart that he never got to enjoy a single day of retirement. I am DEFINITELY taking early retirement next year at 62!!
more like a good option... Investing is the way out, rather than sitting and waiting for soc sec.
Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message.

@@cynthg9547 my son!!!
Worked 40 yrs. and had to stop due to medical condition. I just got my ssdi a few months ago. It's a blessing, it was tough waiting for 2years, but things are better now financially. I don't see this money as welfare, I put this money away for those 40 years and now I'm using it that I need it.
Welfare??? R U kiddin' me?? You busted your A## your whole life working, that money is yours!!! You R Entitled!!! You earned it!! I sometimes get that welfare feelin myself only major difference is I'm a 100% P&T Disabled veteran and sometimes feel like do I deserve whatever compensation I receive..
If you worked for 40 yrs you have paid enough FICA. You are not getting SSI. The benefits you're receiving from SSA is SSDI or Social Security Disability Insurance (paid through your FICA contributions).
Citizens Disability did help me get my SSI. I just got mine.
How much does it cost ? Thank you
@@biffagump8B It doesn't cost anything out of pocket. Their fee comes out of your back pay from your disability back pay. The social security administration will only allow them to take a certain amount. They do not get paid unless you get your disability. I was turned down the 1st time we applied but Citizen's disability with my approval applied again right away. I went to their doctor ( my choice) and was approved the second time around. This was lucky for me many have to apply a 3rd time before approval. I am told almost everyone is turned down the 1st time. I didn't pay anymore for this. Citizen disability tells you up front how much you will pay. You never have to pay out of pocket it comes out of your lump sum. After this you receive monthly payments. You need to know how much you can make if you ever try to work part time. This way u will not loose your disability. Each person's monthly pay is different for their condition. Hope this helps.
If you're getting ssi but I rather get ssdi because ssdi pays more benefits
@@ejones6647 I was given the balance of SSI and then put on SSDI so I do get more. I have now both Medicare and Medicaid for health Ins. which I was told by SS that Medicare is my main provider and the Medicaid Ins. will be used as supplemental ins. All good. I was just refunded my payment for Medicare too because Medicaid is paying for it. This is something new they did.
Does she matter when it comes to getting ssdi?
Excellent video. Brief and accurate explanation by a well spoken host. Thank you.
Excellent video!!!
Very clearly communicated vital information!!! Thanks!
I was so confused until I watched this video so thank you
Thank you for helping us understand all this . Yes I paid in while I' was working years back ... Now disability ... Health problems ...👌🙏
Awesome explanation!
Thank you ....

Right ssa
He forgot to mention that you can also draw Social Security benefits as a disabled adult child. I draw mine on my father's record and also got medicare and medicaid.
My adopted daughter drew SS until she was 18. Her bio dad died when she was 4. Even though she was adopted Sshe still got a check.
She just got approved for SSI bc of being born with FAS. I want to know if she can draw s s from her dad’s work he paid in. That is the reason she got the check before. She is 24 now
@@cindygirtman4441 I'm sorry to hear about the situation. I'm glad your adopted daughter is drawing Social Security on her father's work record instead of SSI. It's way better and she keeps Medicaid and have Medicare.
Thank you so much
They are very helpful. They helped me get my disability and now I'm going to get my Medicare and Medicaid due to my disability. Thank you so much citizens disability for all your help.
How much did they charge you ? You sound like a bot.

Thanks for informing me of everything

Thank you i finally found someone to explain this to me

Great information. SSA can be very confusing. Some elderly and others that have a right to benefits are out there lost in all of this being penalized for not knowing the basics. Some don’t have the resources they need to move forward.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.🙏🏿💕🙏🏿🙌🏾
It’s SSI and, SSA stands for The Social Security Administration, SSA is not referred to as a benefit, SS refers to those who receive Social Security Monthly Benefits.
I am aware of what SSA stands for.
I see my comment was confusing to you.
🙏🏿💕🙏🏿
The United States Social Security Administration (SSA)[2] is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability and survivor benefits. To qualify for most of these benefits, most workers pay Social Security taxes on their earnings; the claimant's benefits are based on the wage earner's contributions. Otherwise benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are given based on need

Why do you not have a video for the state of washington?
This is great news I’ve been on disability since 2014 but became 65 so it looks like I can make whatever I can 👍
Thank you so much!
Wow well explained
Why can’t we the people put a lawsuit in against the federal government about the abuse of the funds from SSI and SSDI
No lawyer would take that false case on.
You have more freedom with one and not the other
very true
have been on SSDI for 8 or 10 years and during the wait went back to work but medically could not handle it so job let me go. was the same job that I worked for 6 years straight, loved that job at Grand Canyon north.
I am complaining to ssi and ssdi policy at the ssa. Policy collapse from mail return or premium insurance deduction same confused which one. New policy from 15% deduction from mail return. Better than which one. What policy care
I’ve paid in Social Security for 37 years. I was forced to retire from my county job, because they were no longer willing to accommodate my physical limitations that They caused. I’ve bee unable to find work outside in the mainstream work-world, because I’m now considered a liability to hire. It to almost 2 years, but I’ve been denied ssdi. I appealed. Sent in copies of my MRIs, showing my disabilities, and was still denied. The system is rigged!
God bless you!
Thank you, Faith! 😊
I applied for ssd took 6 yrs to get it for me and was told not to work while my ssd is pending so by time it went thru i had no recent work records and ended up on ssi and ssi you Do have to prove that you have a disabillity if my lawyer hadnt took 6 yrs i could have had my ssd
great i wold like to go back to work
I'm a 100% Total and Permanent disabled veteran, didn't know about VA disability until a few years ago, recently approved at 100% - after an appeal; took about 10 years. In the interim from the onset of total disability, I had SSI with medicaid; but with enough work history to qualify for SSA retirement that I plan to start at age 62. My SSI specifies it is due to disability. Question, "do I have to apply for SSDI or is it automatic due to my SSI due to disability". Hope someone can help shine some light on this. Thank you and my best to all here. Stay in 'faith' (emuwnah: set office, truth) always, no matter what. :)
Used these guys to win my appeal for me! Very good service and very thorough!
Hello as of 2 days ago I was given a back paycheck for SSI, an approval letter for SSI and an approval letter for SSDI. Do I need to report the SSDI to SSI and if so how? And will it later change how much they are giving me because i was approved for both? I will do exactly what I'm supposed to I just need to know.
Great video!
I have to be with out work for 5 years plus to get approved for SSDI ???I do have my 40 credit i stop working a year ago before that I only work 1 month in the whole year so basically in years I only made less than 2k .. the reason I apply cuz the symptoms of Hep C and mental health issues..
Everyone's situation is different, but I just used the common sense approach. I have no contract w God that says I will be healthy and alive at 66 and 10 months, so I took it at 62. Smartest move I made in a while. ❤
Been disabled for many years can I still get the help I need
They help me
I was in the military I paid into social security all 14 years I’m currently receiving ssi. I was paying into fica all the years I was in the military what’s better
Learned that the SSA takes a small percentage of earned income that is held as health insurance for the possibility of becoming I'll, which is when this insurance goes into affect.
I had better get my SSDI application in, but how since most if not all offices are closed and impossible to reach via phone or online without others interfering ?

In fl i worked for years and my disabillity lawyer didnt want to bother with helping me collect my past work records i did have to prove ny disabillity but she had me waiting 6 yrs till my son actually spoke up in court for me and pled my case while my lawyer just sat there confused all i got was ssi then mnths later my ss worker gave me a person to call saying i could be getting another pay each mnth but i had to contact them here i am yrs later they have never been in thier office and never hsve returned calls to this day
you should have dismissed your attorney.. when she refused to obtain your past work records. If you would've went to soc. security office, they could've obtained them for you.
So, for SSDI, it doesn't matter how much in assets I have or $$ in my savings account in order to qualify vs. SSI which doesn't allow for a person to have more than $2000 in assets, right?
There are two programs that people commonly think of as ‘Social Security Disability.’ They’re called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The two programs have the same medical requirements for what makes a person disabled, so the major difference between them is the non-medical requirements.
SSDI is based on the taxes you paid into Social Security while working. To be eligible for SSDI, a person must have worked full time for at least 5 of the last 10 years at a job that paid Social Security taxes. In contrast, SSI is a need-based program, so anyone who is disabled can be eligible if they fall below a certain amount of assets.
SSDI - worked...SSI- didn't work....They went back, 15yrs on me....I had enough work credits... I've had back issues, for a long time..The Surgeon talked about putting 6 pins and 4 rods in my back and he didn't know what he was going to do between my vertebrates, because, they was gone... 😥...I'm NOT GETTING, SURGERY....My back is from a, birth defect...I would like to know, what did that Dr, do to me? 😥
There has been major, technical advances, made in orthopedic community.

You solved an ex's debate we had today re: ssi and ssdi. At 59 I'm receiving ssdi. We have an adult son who is o ssi. And x husband recently retired and IMHO should have been collecting his ss retirement from the day he said goodbye to the large, nationwide retail conglomerate he worked for for 27 years. We live and learn.
Married 17 yrs, divorced and friends about 12. Polite debates.
My adult son in on SS and SSI. I (his mom) tried to hook him into my SS credits for more income to him. He was denied. They said they did not consider him disabled according to the branch of SS who reviewed his application. Maybe I need a lawyer to apply again.

I paid in for 20 years making less than $13 an hour and mine is $1450
Back pay: I’m interrupting one year prior to application as a year before I filed for disability. Is that correct? Or are you saying you only get 12 months of back pay?
Hi, and thank you for commenting. The total amount of retroactive payments may go back to the date that someone became disabled, and it depends, in part, on the disability application date. Please reach out to your local SSA office directly for more information.

I believe you apply for SSDI first. If you're denied you file an appeal and will be able to apply for SSI. I saved every single Dr's visit and mail from my medical provider/s. I finally got approved, took four months. Make sure you keep your mail organized and have an active phone number because they will call and let you know you're approved. but for sure make sure you file a appeal when prompted.

I’ve been on SSI my whole life, I recently was told I could qualify for SSDI now. Is this the best move for me to do? I’m afraid that I am making a bad decision by leaving what I’ve only known
I don't know it depends on how much you are making now. what I make covers a house payment. If yours just covers utilities I would be moving up to SSDI. I get snap for groceries and I get the utilities paid by someone else.
I doubt you have the necessary recent work history.

If you have reached retirement age you can apply for Social Security retirement benefits which have different requirements than SSDI and SSI. You will need to reach out to Social Security for assistance on this matter.
But incase you are finding it hard to register let me know let me put you through
I applied for disability and I received a letter stating that I meet the medical requirements for disability, but a decision whether if I meet the non medical requirements has not been made yet? So does that mean I got approved for ssdi and they’re making a decision if I qualify for ssi? Can I still be denied all though this letter says I meet the health requirements?
Sorry for all the questions, the letter is pretty dense on info.
Hi Nicole, you need to meet certain medical and nonmedical requirements to be eligible for SSDI. It is possible to be denied for not meeting the nonmedical requirement. This is rare after being medically approved, but it can happen. Social Security has many factors they take into consideration. I would reach out to them as they would have more information on the nonmedical requirements.
@@CitizensDisability If I got approved for ssdi then should I apply for ssi? I got my favorable decision letter for ssdi and two days later they send me a letter saying they need to do a non medical update to see if I qualify for SSI benefits. I feel like ssdi is good enough for me, plus I heard that you don't get a lump sum for ssi and I also heard that ssi can check my bank account. I need the lump sum because I don't want to be homeless again and I don't want ssi checking my bank account any time they want. Would I get more monthly benefits if I got concurrent benifits and would I get more back pay?
Can a Spouse get paid to care for their Permanently Disabled Spouse who receives SSDI?
Hi! Please reach out to Social Security as they will be able to assist you with this matter.
