In my state--as far as I can figure--it may depend on how long you have
worked. I know that people in their late teens or early 20's who were in
school, or who had just gruaduated from high school, are on SSI. Us
"older" folks who have a continuous work record that amounted to working a
certain number of quarters (I had worked the 'maximum' by 6 months) get
SSDI. plus when I reach 55 I have the option of getting SS from my ex. That
income would push me over the edge of what is allowed by Medicaid and to
still get Medicaid would have to 'pay' a certain amount to Medicaid--like
Medicare. I would have to look at the pros and cons before deciding whether
to do it. It would affect several things depending on how much it was too.

This info was taken from a booklet I got along with other things to read
when I began to get Medicare--17 y! ears ago. Who knows if it still
available!

I know that not every disabled person collects disability but only social
security. Anyone know why that is?

I sent something last week. Nobody seems too concerned on this list, as no
discussion followed the post.
here it is again.


I 've done an exhaustive search on this issue, even though I get state
retirement, ! not SS. This is what I've found, from the President's Commission
to strengthen Social Security. Looks like DIsability benefits have been give
short shrift in this discussion. We are merely an afterthought. Some may see
the language contained in this report as inclusive and reassuring, however
the language clearly states that the issue of disability hasn't been well
thought out and that no clear plan has even been discussed. What is clear is
that there is the intention to separate retirement benefits from Disability
benefits. The proposed savings accounts will not be available for withdrawal
upon disability.

I've tried several times to send this to the list but it won't go. Here's
the website and you then go to "reports" it will download the commission's
report.
