Default I have not worked enough quarters to draw Social Security. I am 64 and have no

health insurance. No help from? Social Security says my husband makes too much money. Not so! He brings in only $250.00 weekly. I draw $554.00 monthly disability from the State of Oklahoma. Social Security says I can draw only $252.00 right now in SSI. I am only 64 and cannot draw full SS until I am 66 1/2 years old. If I accept the $252.00 it is for life. Anyone have any experience on this same subjects? My disabilty monthly checks will expire when I am 65. I am considering an attorney who specializes in Social Security denials.

It doesn't matter who you hire to help you. When you turn 661/2 now, you'll automatically go on regular social security, that's the way it is. Until then you can only make a minimum wage until your 661/2 then you can make whatever you want and they'll still pay. Be careful and make sure you notify them if you do get more and don't report it, they'll come out and get it, one way or the other.
It's up to you weather you accept the $252.00 or wait, if you can make it, fine then wait, some people can't wait.

It's the same for everyone. Your disability checks do not disappear, once again, you go on regular social security, that's all.

Your wasting your money to hire an attorney, he'll get the same answers you will but, you'll have to pay him.

Are you on ss because of retirement or disability? Why will your disability end at age 65? If you are receiving bc of disability your ss will continue so long as you continue to be disabled.

SSI is received from the state not from federal ss. SSDI is from ss. If this is disability related you have to be disabled and unable to work for 6 months before full ss kicks in.

And your husband does make too much. Unfortunatly that salary is above the poverty line, which is the guidline used for financial eligibility. Further question though, who is saying he makes too much, your state medicaid? SS?

I would advise you to get an attorny. Most will offer consultation apts for free. Take in and all paperwork you have with you that relates to the case.

Also, check ss's website. It is hard to navigate and understand, but it would be worth while to spend a few hours researching their website. Even with an attorny, it is good to know the info for yourself.
