Hi Larry,
My husband started receiving his social security at the age of 62. He is now 64. He has had a lung removed a few months ago and is undergoing chemotherapy. Can he apply for a disability supplement to his current social security? Does he have any options at all to supplement his social security in any way? Also, could I apply for any supplement - have not taken social security yet, I am also 64. Please help. Thank you!

Hi,

I have been on SSDI for just over2 years. A long story short my lawyer wants me to settle a wage case from 18-19. It is for 45 k. I did not try to hide income it is a long story. How will this effect my SSDI Thanks

Hi,

I am 59 and just began drawing disability social security. At what age will I begin drawing just social security. Do I have to notify anyone or will it just convert to straight social security ?

Hi,

Social Security disability benefits convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits when a person reaches their full retirement age (FRA). In your case, that would be at age 67. You won't need to do anything to initiate the conversion, and the conversion won't cause your benefit rate to change.

My husband was born in 1955 & is getting SS check for disable - he would like to try to work a few hours - how old does he have to be before they will not take any of his check .? He will be 65 in Sept .& I think then his check turns into his Social security - & someone told us that once that happens he can earn money & it doesn’t affect his check ??

Hi,

I read the answer to the question you gave regarding AutoConversion of SSDI to SSRI. You stated that the person might receive a higher payment after conversion based on his earnings. I am currently in this situation. Only complicated by my previous employer’s insurance company and their agent, GenEx. I was on private disability through work, and due to a clause disclosed to me after being on LTD for a year, I was forced to apply for SSDI to reimburse Guardian, the insurer. By the time the favorable judgement was rendered, I was full age of retirement.

Hi! I'm currently receiving disability social security benefits, but recently had to house my mom due to a problem with her house. The insurance company paid us to house her. I received a 1099 and my tax person told me I can loose all my benefits. Is that true?

Hi,

Hello,

Social Security claims I have a overpayment. My question is about Trial Work Periods and Workforce Innovation & opportunity Act.
Does Social security have to give you a trial work period before benefits are ended and or advise you to take a trial work period?

Hi,

I sued my former employer for unpaid overtime and we have just settled. I was declared medically dissabled due to a renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and am collecting SSDI. This is for wages prior to my r
becoming dissabled. What do I do?

Hi,

I have been on SSD since 2007. I am disabled due to BiPolar and I am legally blind. My earned income threshold is 2110. If I make more than that consistantly, will my SSD stop or will I receive reduced benefits?

Hi,

Is there such a thing as a disability freeze? It seems there used to be, but I can’t find anyway to apply for it.

Hi,

Yes, there is such a thing as a disability freeze. In order to establish a disability freeze, you must meet the same basic requirements as you would to qualify for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. And, if you apply for SSDI benefits you're also filing for a disability freeze as well.
