I understand what this is saying…..But The Social Security stated that they made a decision as of June 5, 2009…And then they stated that it was sent to Quality Control for review…Does this mean that it was approved? Or what does it mean? So the approval comes from the DDS examiner and the Medical Examiner? Thank you

I am a representative payee for a woman who cannot speak English.

The description of what the funds are to be used for are a bit vague.

Is the SSI recipient allowed to have a cell phone instead of a land line, an auto (if has a driver’s license), TV cable, etc.?

Is there a list of necessities that can be viewed?

Thank you,
Meg

It is now 2008, november and I am working I am legally blind and have looked at the website for my earnings limits. I am concerned about two things, my employer has promised me a reduction in hours prior to my work trial period ending date sot hat I will still qualify for benefits, I am earning $11.05 an hr. right now and working 40 hrs. weekly. My concern is that I have put a life partner on my health insurance plan, because he is not a spouse and is a life partner, the amount I pay AND the amount that the employer pays for his health insurance is post tax (not pre tax as me and my children), so they add like $300 bi weekly to my gross income then deduct that amount with my deductions so that I will pay taxes on the amounts they pay, this will increase my gross ncome over the limit even if I go down to 32 hours a week. I am not sure if they will deduct that or count it? Also I am concerned aobut asking them about it, at this point I am not married and do not plan on it, we can’t afford to marry unfortunately, so if I bring up a “life partner” is social security going to start asking for his income to calculate my eligibility in this new age? Thanks

To Whom It May Concern,

Can a national resident apply for Social Security Disabiliy? Or is it only for US Citizens?

Sincerely,
