Howdy guys, my name is Attorney Walter Rudolph Hnot, III. New Jersey born, MBA, JD, Master Mason and a tireless advocate for the homeless and low income who are seeking disability benefits. It's simple, if you are within the law's requirements for disability benefits, you get a check every month, and health insurance. No, it doesn't include a new iPhone, house or cool car, but, with your SSI/SSDI disability backpay, you can potentially get those things...with your own disability money :-). I created this channel because of how many crazy things I was hearing out in the general public on how this system works. I did library seminars, academia seminars, food truck seminars (which I prefer), etc...The online video platform is the best way to reach the majority of you guys.

I started paying into SS while in high school. I then joined the Army and retired paying into SS the whole time. I acquired enough credits to be able to receive SS. When I retired from the Army, I was fortunate enough to secure a job working for a state and paid into the state's Public Employee Retirement Association. So, when I retired from the state and started drawing my retirement from PERA, SS took OVER HALF of my SS benefits because I was receiving my PERA retirement!!! So, all this does is makes SS pay me WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GET!!! It's not a raise and doesn't even pay me back for all the years that SS deducted MY MONEY from me for all the years before this became law!!

[@thomaswest8132]

I paid into BOTH state Workers compensation, and SS, for 35 years! Two, separate , mandatory insurance programs! The unmitigated audacity of politicians 40-50 years ago, to legislate away any part of what I EARNED is criminal! I’m ENTITLED to the full value of SSDI, and my work comp! Paying for guacamole, and ranch dip, then enjoying both is not “double dipping “! Add to that, that the B.S. AIME calculations did not factor in the $40,000.00 in lost fringes! It’s not “excessive “, that the full value of my SSDI, and work comp would pay 90% of my gross wages, while ignoring the 40-k in lost fringes! It’s not a “windfall “, that my buddies are knocking down 120-k, plus 45-k in fringes, while I am stuck at home, in pain! Your fellow vloggers, like Ed Weir, can bite me! I want what I am due! Unfortunately, I live in a reverse offset state, so I will never see any of the 70-k stolen by state workers comp, before I reached 62 last year!

[@SamSam-dy3ct]

@ Trump could very well throw this none sense in the trash where it belongs. With all those PUBLIC SECTOR jobs and pensions, getting those government pensions sin additional to 90% social security increase to government workers why is congress worried about the working stiff? The social security that these public employees paid into was very minimal certainly not what the average stiff pays but hey they got a 90% increase on top of those triple pensions they must be celebrating. A job in the public sector is not a job as in the private sector in the private sector you work your ass out to where by the time to reach 57 you are like a broken horse and limp your way into death. Not many men in my community live beyond 68 most die before they reach the golden 70 years they put out. In the PUBLIC SECTOR, most retire when they reach certain credits say at the age of 57 like most of my family, and collect all their pensions. They sure live a long life afterward. I suppose this is the reward for being a prison guard in the BIGGEST OPEN AIR PRISON IN THE WORLD THE GOOD OLD USA.

[@sharonfisher9573]

You are entitled to the benefit. Thank you for serving the public.

[@SamSam-dy3ct]

Here is the most important aspect of this whole thing and what the talking heads are not saying is that those PUBLIC EMPLOYEES put very little time to paying for Social Security it made them low-income earners. Low-income learners received a special boast to make their social security a little higher like say welfare on top of the social security. However with pensions of $400,000 per month for may public jobs in my state (undefended of course) giving these PUBLIC EMPLOYEES a 90% increase on their social security will give them an average of $500.00 to $1,000 plus extra a month. While the working stiff gets a small social security check average from $1,100 to $1,800 per month. IT IS A NATIONAL CRIME AND EMBARASMENT TO THIS NATION !!!!!!!!!!

[@SamSam-dy3ct]

You were getting the benefit that you were entitled to before. Now you are getting WELFARE and taking the WELFARE away from the low-income Social Security earners. Such an entitlement these public employees with no shame and feel superior to the rest of the hard-working Americans.

[@bestiefswlady5251]

@@SamSam-dy3ct I see your point but 400,000 per month seems like an unheard/rare of pension. I typically thought even a full pension was equal to about 80% of the persons ending salary, provided of course they work the full 30 years or whatever. I know that some of the government positions are very high paying, but wouldn’t that be about 4.8 mil a year? I’m not saying it’s impossible; I just thought that was more than almost all govt jobs/more of a CEO salary. Admittedly though I’m more familiar with federal workers info , not state workers.

[@SamSam-dy3ct]

@@bestiefswlady5251 sorry typo $400,000 per year. My city has the highest-paid firefighters in the country and most of the firefighters are chiefs because they get the big pensions when they retire. The city even implemented a special sales tax. I cannot put the links but type California pensions and see for yourself it has the names and the amount they make.

[@7884Chris]

Glad to hear that 7,000 people are asking when will the increased payments begin. When I read the update, I searched for my elected congressional representatives contact information and sent them each an email asking them to look into why the SSA was dragging their feet. I also sent a message on the SSA website contact us page to let them know that dragging their feet was not acceptable. I hope all of you who are affected will do the same.

[@skitzdaniel3314]

I questioned AI on outstanding loans to the government programs out of the Social Security Trust Fund. The government has borrowed $ 2.7 trillion dollars for which it should have been paid back with interest. Over the years the interest would have added about $ 8 Trillion to the Social Security Trust Fund. What should be in the fund right now is about 10 trillion dollars with the interest. What is in the Trust Fund new is about $ 2.8 Trillion dollars. There are about $ 10 Trillion in outstanding loans. The public should really be upset with this fleecing of the Trust Fund. If the loans were paid back their would be enough funds for almost another hundred years without have to work at an older age. Speak you peace loud and clear by contacting your Senators and House Representatives. March and protest in the streets if you have to. Current seniors did not rob your future in Social Security. The government did.

[@lesmikesell2166]

The Social Security trust fund earns interest at the same rate as other treasury bills - which isn't particularly high. And it is being withdrawn now to comprise part of the benefits being paid.

They are not taking from SSI. SSI is Supplemental Security Income. It is not the same as Social Security Retirement.

[@go4lowcost652]

It is not understood why SSA can't immediately just start to pay the current recipients of Social Security pensions without the WEP reduction? Then the back pay can be paid later on with interest.🤣😂

AMEN!!!

[@lesmikesell2166]

A very large number of people getting their own WEP-reduced payments or none are now eligible for much higher spousal or survivor benefits, assuming they only worked the minimum amount to be eligible but their spouse or ex-spouse paid into SS their whole career. The GPO can take those benefits down to zero so many people would not even have filed.

[@MohawkJones344]

I am one of those waiting and vocal. By my estimation they owe me $125,000 today. I go homeless, around July this year. So that means that they do not have to pay me anything because I don't have a permanent address when they get around to paying me back???? WTF???????

[@virginialentz8858]

I was told when I applied for SS that there was a 2/3 “set back”. So every month I have complained about not receiving what I was promised when my portion to pay into SS was forcefully taken. Since I didn’t have a choice it amounted to an extra tax “given” to the federal government every month. $$$$ yes I’ve been irritated.

[@ct3938]

Some of these comments show the IGNORANCE of so many. The "you all get fat pensions", is the most ignorant statement. The assumption is that teachers, police officers, etc. get "fat" monthly pensions. Many, many workers are retired paraprofessionals (AKA teacher's aides) school lunch cafeteria workers, crossing guards, bus drivers, etc. I am among them. My fat pension is $1100 (before deductions) a MONTH. AFTER deductions, I get a whopping $800 per month. I worked 20+ years in a school, later in life. However, prior to that, I worked full-time for 25 years, private sector, paying into Social Security. I am a senior citizen and a widow. Guess how much of that 25 years of Social Security contributions I receive? ZERO. I am a widow. All of my contributions are gone. Second, my husband died suddenly at age 59. After working 43 years full time, a blue collar working, paying into Social Security all 43 years. Third, due to GPO, 2/3 of my "fat" pension is DEDUCTED from my survivor Benefit (my husband's SS) and that leaves, $768 per month. So, SS took my 25 years of contributions AND about 2/3 of my husband's SS--he who never lived to see a dime of it, he who worked his whole career paying SS. So, NO, many of us are not getting "fat" pensions. We live month to month on very little. Get educated!

[@cultcompound6679]

The fundamental problem was that we ever exempted anyone from paying into fica. That was the original dumb. Having two pensions that you paid into and get is a good thing.

[@AnthonyArcado]

Informative but there is one problem with your presentation. The Social Security Act specifically required the trust fund could only invest in Treasury Bonds. This was done because of the collapse of the stock market collapse. This was the mistake made at the very beginning. Louisiana Senator Cassidy has proposed legislation to fix this and to balance the trust fund, eliminating the future shortfall in the fund. He proposes investing in the stock market and bonds under the management and control of Social Security management. This is the formula used by all the public pension funds.

Always enjoy listening to your segments on WEP. There has been a lot of focus on WEP revision causing the trust fund to run out earlier.

Just seems fair to show the flip side of the coin.

[@tnbigdave4563]

If the Fairness Act is so unfair because it depletes the fund sooner then let those who paid into SS from other jobs that have a Civil Service pension be paid back what they paid in for years with the intrest SS earned from their payments. Then you would have a no one with a CS retirement involved in SS.....but the fund would still be depleted sooner because they SS didn't get to keep the free payments they took from CS since 1984. Fair is fair. You pay you get something in return that's fair or you ask for a refund if it's not.

Before a single dollar can be paid out, all of the Social Security software related to benefit calculation, payment and accounting has to be modified and tested.

There is a lot of potential to screw this up if it gets rushed.

You were full of yourself tonight, it was fun. We gotta get stupid sometimes. Thanks for the updates.

[@davidthreegun5278]

I applied online for spouse benefits on 1/10/25, the online process would only allow me to file back to 7/24. I also indicated I had non covered employment and a pension from noncovered employment (IE GPO). On 1/23/25 I received back pay from 7/24 and regular payments will start in Feb. All payments reflected my previous quarterly Medicare payments. The only part that wasn't handled is the retro form 1/24 through 6/24. I would recommend you file as soon as possible since the online process will only let you file for 6 months in the past. My guess is they stopped applying GPO on new applications, but don't have the code to handle the retro time period prior to the six month limit.

Most of us get screwed. They can’t afford it bc they spend it rather than put it in a trust nor do they tax the rich what they should pay.

[@southerngal345]

People keep forgetting about our checks & balances system. This new law can easily be nullified by the S.C. Remember what your grandma always warned..."Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

Trust!!!!! He’ll get to it!!! WATCH!!

[@karenwilliams978]

It only helps about 3 million so I'd say most recipients don't care if it doesn't get paid. They might even receive their benefits for longer if these people don't receive more money than any one else.

[@francesmarino1765]

A year? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

[@BikoX]

They approve money to Ukraine and Israel almost instantly and send it out immediately. Anything for the American people takes months and years to happen. That tells you all you need to know.

[@rampantlion3716]

SSA did not screw the fund. What I remember is Congress taking trillions from the fund to fix the decades of overspending and the President's ego and political standing were boosted but it clearly taught them nothing, as evidenced by our current debt. Can't recall the President, but you can look it up. I've been living on SSA since 1991.

[@Oldtimer_Shrek]

100% correct with the private pension funds like firefighters and police some of the union pension too but not all! I was in ufcw and central states pension funds and they both were always at critical levels of being broke the entire time I worked with both, now if I’d had been in the other pension fund which was more of a private fund I’d have gotten almost double what I get now! Simply put SS, and the 2 pension funds I’m in where managed piss pour! I even told my union rep that! He didn’t like that 🤣🤣🤣

[@shaybee6893]

President Trump has 88,000 IRS agents that he does not know what to do with. They could get this done in about a week.

[@AJBAKER70S]

Those who have been Harmed by WEP should be paid interest on the money owed. If we were overpaid social security would take it right back. If it were taxes the irs would collect interest and penalties.

[@normalai74]

SSA needs to upgrade their computer system and incorporate AI into it! This would enable faster payouts and calculations for past, present and future!

More like the unfairness act!

[@Fouroclocklover38]

How does this Law Affect the Disabled Adult Children and Disabled Children who get Survivor Benefits from OPM and those who are Disabled Receiving SSI.

[@rfinky1]

What challenges does SSA face implementing the Social Security Fairness Act? SSA's ability to implement the law in a timely manner and without negatively affecting day-to-day customer service relies on funding. The Act did not provide money to implement the law. The law requires SSA to adjust benefits for over 3 million people. Since the law's effective date is retroactive, SSA must adjust people's past benefits as well as future benefits. Though SSA is helping some affected beneficiaries now, under SSA's current budget, SSA expects that it could take more than one year to adjust benefits and pay all retroactive benefits.

[@maggiepennington5583]

If you’ve got two forms of pensions why would they need an increase in their SS. It looks like to me the ones getting the increase would be the ones that only has SS to live on.

[@bluize567]

Why would the ones on SS only get an increase? We don't want an increase, we want what we paid into SS before, during, or after we changed careers. Do you ever wonder where the money is that they withheld from us, money we earned? I do. That's 40+ years of OUR money. We expect what you do; to be paid for what we worked for.

[@roxannabowers7349]

Because we paid into social security. When it was time to collect our benefits, it was reduced. Give me my money.

[@normalai74]

Exactly! Worker’s Compensation + SSDI (offset due to WEP) and my pension is literally $5/mo. Had to raise 2 children on this. Trying to keep my nose above water in today’s insane economy has been the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. The back pay should be from the date of retirement!!! Medically retired from FDNY EMS but paid into SSA for years in the private sector prior to switching to public. Being punished for working in both isn’t right.

[@douglaschacho7501]

It's not really an increase. It's restoring the money that was taken away by the wep penalty.

[@jamesgadd931]

Ive se÷ 50 years of tax pissed in wind. Over taxes

[@debrahnunn1216]

I really don't care WHO gets the credit for it. They need to figure out how to get the payments out asap. If they wait another year, then they will owe us 2 years retro. It's already almost 14 months. I read the SS update on their website which was posted 1/24/25, and it said it could take up to a year or more. Surely they can do better than that.

[@musty6818]

It’s disturbing that you continually forget to mention the really poorly paid public servants along with the teacher: those who worked in classified positions in the schools ie custodians, secretaries, kitchen personnel, etc. I challenge anyone to call their pensions “pretty good”.

[@WinSocialSecurityDisability]

I literally say in this video that teachers are under paid out of the groups listed…😣

[@FastingStarChanelNo5]

No pension here but slow govt isn't going to speed up just bc Trump goes faster than legacy media & others in govt. Thx Walter.

[@wmgthilgen]

OK, I get it, those who quit a job that didn't pay into SSA but get a pension are only going to get SSA bennifit's if and when they had a conventional job which did pay into the SSA program. Where as before they didn't. That's a good thing, and I have no issue's with it because they did after all sometime's to a lessor degree did pay into it up to and sometimes over their 40 quarter's. But I'm only one of the several million who either lost their pension to an x wife and or never had a pension available, and insufficent income to have put some away in a different pension plan; Meaning I'm only getting the SSA Retirement bennifit and accept for the COLA, it never increase's. I understand those who qualify for a basically catch up to get caught up. But having both a pension and SSA bennifit's, they are far less prone to the cost of living alway's been higher than the dam figure's utilzed in the COLA adjustment, if and when there actually is one. There's countless video's on how those on SSI and SSDI and now those that didn't pay in are goinh going to qualify. But there's never anything for those of us who have paid in "WELL OVER" the 40 needed and then only receiving what we get when we get and never more. I worked and paid into the SSA for some 50 year's; Which work's out to be some 200 quarter's. And yet though it four time's as many as one need's. I don't get a penny more for the additional 160 quarter's I paid into the system. Then there's the issue in which my check is considered income when it come's to getting any of the various state's assitance program's. While those on SSI or SSDI who may get the same exact amount, isn't considered to be income and thus qualify for various state and local bennifit's that when having an income one doesn't qualify for. I'd be better off if I were to loose my retirement bennifit's, and have them replaced with either or both SSI and or SSDI bennifit because my bennifit's are considered income and their's is not. I'd qualify for a number of both state and local bennifit's for free, not a percentage if at all. I know of those on both and sometime either who get 100% total in any and everyway possible medical bennifit's. Where as I because of my supposedly income can only get the 80/20 the SSA program madate's unless living out side of the country; Which I do, when I can't afford the 20% co-pay in the U.S.A. and at my age and required number of year's as a legal permenent Resident of Mexico get total 100% free medical if and when hospitalized and for a minimum of 90 days's following any hospital stay. I can afford a normal American life style if living in one of the non-american barrio's aka neighborhood's in Mexico. Where as in the U.S.A. I'd be mandated to live in a shelter for the homeless.

[@timothyweers8054]

I think that the Social Security Fairness Act throws a wrench in the works for Trump's promise to cut taxes on Social Security and make the people who work for tips exempt from taxing their pay.

This bill only passed on Jan 5! It’s STILL January! They have to recalculate almost 3 million payments! Do you think they are magicians? C’mon!

[@WinSocialSecurityDisability]

They knew in November that it was going to, or highly likely to pass, hence their emergency message release back in 2024…so to be fair, the lists should already be nearing, if not fully completed.

[@lesmikesell2166]

They are eliminating special cases, not making up something new. But, many people will do better switching to spousal benefits and who knows if they will allow that to be retroactive to 2024.

[@pamm99]

@@lesmikesell2166 the whole law, meaning all parts of it, are retroactive.

[@pamm99]

@@WinSocialSecurityDisability it’s not really about the lists, so much as it is about the recalculations. It’s going to be different for each person affected by this, not like the COLA where everyone gets the same percentage applied.

[@lesmikesell2166]

@@pamm99 Yes, but is it retroactive for the WEP-reduced amount a person was getting or will changing to spousal benefits now be back-dated to Jan 2024? That will make a big difference in my wife's case. Our other problem now is that she took her benefit early thinking it would never amount to much and now that decision will probably cut a large amount off of what she'll get. But anything will be better than the way it was...
