Disability application process 😊

[@joec9553]

Filed in 2023, and was denied in September 2024. 3 cervical surgeries with 4 levels of fusion and require morphine for the last 12 years. Walked away from an $88k salary. Morgan and Morgan has my case now.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve faced. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and having Morgan and Morgan handling your case is a good step. I hope the appeal process goes smoothly for you, and that you receive the support you deserve soon. Stay strong!

[@curtishill1993]

So my advice is to work in the private sector jobs and don't trust the government jobs that don't pay for social security retirement benefits 😢

Also, if you cancel an appointment for any reason, reschedule it as soon as possible. I would think missing an appointment or treatment would go against you.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Absolutely! Missing appointments can be detrimental to your case, so rescheduling is vital.

I’m curious about timelines… My dad was diagnosed with early Onset Alzheimer’s last year, and was forced to retire early by his employer, stating he was now a liability. I’ve been trying to help him financially as much as possible, but had to apply for disability benefits for him. The last status update stated “ We have processed 5 of 5 steps of your application. We made a decision to approve your application on November 27, 2024.” But as of today haven’t received any further information. Everyone says the process takes forever- I’m just wondering if it’s normal for status to be updated online but not get anything in mail?

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Yes, you can apply for disability at 63 ½ if you’re unable to work due to medical conditions. Timing is key, as benefits differ from early retirement. Stay updated on new Social Security regulations with our channel for expert tips and guidance. Subscribe now for crucial updates! 🚨📺

So if you’re on disability, is there an issue working part time for 1,000 dollars a month?… How does this work?

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Great question! Social Security allows limited work while on disability under specific income limits, like earning $1,000/month. It's essential to stay within guidelines to avoid affecting benefits.

Thank you. My disability revolves around a torn bicep tendon, which sucks. Also mental health related but mainly torn bicep tendon. In theory, if I work very few hours washing dishes somewhere? Would that be an issue if my income gross is 1,000 / month? I’ll look at more of your videos… Thank you

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Thank you for sharing. Working part-time under Social Security’s limits, like $1,000/month, could be possible, but understanding Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) rules is key. 💪 Stay informed to protect your benefits.

My last job was with the city of Atlanta Georgia government and social security reduced my social security benefits because I worked for the city of Atlanta Georgia government which doesn't pay for social security benefits 😢

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

That’s a tough situation. The Windfall Elimination Provision can reduce benefits if you worked for a government job that didn’t pay into Social Security. I hope you're able to find some support during this time.

[@curtishill1993]

@TheDisabilityDigest saint captain America social security benefits, social security office used the windfall against me because I became disabled on a government job and social security office dismissed my work history working in the private sector jobs paying into social security benefits, that is what social security office did to me, 😭

[@curtishill1993]

It is better if you work for private sector jobs that pay taxes for the federal government program social security, the the state government doesn't pay taxes for social security benefits 😢

[@curtishill1993]

My social security benefits was reduced to $ 777.00 from $ 1,700.00 because my last job was with the city of Atlanta Georgia government which doesn't pay taxes for federal government social security benefits and they put me in the windfall reduced social security retirement benefits based on my last job with the city of Atlanta and now I don't even get $ 800.00 monthly income 😢

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

I'm really sorry to hear that you're facing such a reduction in your benefits. The Windfall Elimination Provision can be tough, especially when it impacts your monthly income. I hope you're able to find resources or support to help during this challenging time.

[@curtishill1993]

I wish I had worked for a private sector job when I became disabled and not a government job that doesn't pay taxes for federal government social security retirement benefits 😢😢😢😢😢

[@curtishill1993]

States or local government in the united states'of America doesn't pay taxes for federal government social security retirement benefits 😢 only the private sector jobs pay taxes for the federal government social security retirement benefits 😢

[@curtishill1993]

If your last job was with the city of Atlanta Georgia you are in social security windfall reduced social security benefits because you worked for the government instead of private sector jobs, because private sector jobs pay for social security benefits taxes and the government doesn't pay for social security benefits retirement 😢

Saint Captain America social security benefits, social security windfall is used to reduce your social security benefits retirement benefits if your last job was with the government 😢

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

You're right-Social Security's Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) can reduce benefits if your last job was with the government and didn’t pay into Social Security. It’s frustrating, but there are exceptions based on your work history. Checking SSA.gov or consulting a benefits advisor can help clarify your situation.

[@curtishill1993]

I will keep you posted on the social security windfall reduced retirement benefits because you worked for the government jobs which doesn't pay taxes for federal government social security retirement benefits 😢
