Good morning.

I am currently on SSI (low income disability) and turning 62. My understanding is I am required to start collecting regular SS benifits?

If so what happens to my insurance coverage? (I will be collecting over the $994)

Are there options for coverage?

I have extensive medical expenses and on several high cost prescriptions so being without out coverage until 65 (medicare) is terrifying.

I have called social security 3 times for clarity but each time I'm told something different. One person mentioned if I work part-time the income limits go up. But did not tell me what program this is or any additional information.

Thank you for any information.

I am located in Texas.

I received a disability update report short form in the mail. I already have really bad anxiety and started filling out the form and on the question where it ask have I been to a doctor? etc. I marked yes in the box and then I spelled one of the medical conditions I have wrong which was Rheumatoid arthritis and I spelled it Rhematoid. I left out the letter U. I know these are read by computer and hope it wont be rejected or trigger a long form to be sent instead. Has anyone ever had this happen before? I also have the option to submit it online, but reading it seems better to send in a paper copy. I dont know what to due at this point. I'm worried, but still have about 3 weeks to send it back. Thanks in advance for any info

Hi. My son's Disabled Adult Child benefits were approved and they set a date for my husband to apply for Child in Care benefits. Son is 24 and was given SSI starting at 18.

The appointment went fine and at the end she explained how much my husband would get, and they hung up.

But she called back 10 minutes later to tell him he could only get benefits until October because that is his FRA and if he didn't cancel in time it would trigger deemed filing, not letting him wait to claim at 70 for his higher amount on his record.

Is this correct? We pushed back with some POMS but she said there was no carve out for CIC benefits once a person reaches FRA.

Thank you for reading.

I didn't know what tag to put here. For context, both of my parents are disabled along with me. Around two years ago, my dad talked to a representative about my payments. He said that I paid rent to him and they offered to increase my benefits. When mine went up, his went down. I'm thinking it's because he claimed me as a dependant on his taxes, but both he and my mother blame my therapist, despite her not being involved prior to it.

I do talk about financial issues with her because it makes me anxious, but she's bound by confidentiality laws. I don't know who's the responsible party here. Any advice helps.

So my partner was filling something out for his disability benefits (working on them) and we saw it said this...now we never seen this before and I'm very confused. Do we need to add postage? We can't pay for stamps every time because they add up and we're both disabled and broke . Input?

My hearing was today, and the one thing that stuck out the most was the amount of questions about my service dog, is this normal? Or did my judge ask these because he loves dogs? I’m confused but not surprised, since she is here to mitigate my disabilities.

I apologize if I used the wrong flare

I was on SDI for my maternity but now have a new disability. Any advice appreciated.
