question for anyone who gets SSi

codey · 01-03-2002, 06:55 PM

I was just approved for SSI. Now that is the program that you get when your income is low. My income is 2300.00 a yr. in child support and my husband's income 15000.00 yr.. We have basic bills ie...phone,lights cable...we have a 50000.00 house and two cars, one is 1994 vette and the other is a 1995 thurus. our house payments are 400.00 month. By just this little bit of information could anyone tell me about how much i will be getting in SSI.? This is SSI not SSD.

Your SSI; is differnt from your SSB: the ssi is only a temperary income until your ssb kicks in. My ssi payments are only $545.00 per month, but when my ssb kicks in i'll make $1594.00 per mouth which isn't very much. But it could take a few months for your ssb: to kick in and you will any back pay they owu you. I hope I helped just a little. Mac

Both of my Autistic boys receive SSI. I've never heard of SSB. The SSI is determined by our monthly income and can fluctuate accordingly. You should have received a letter telling what your SSI will be. My boys get approximately $460/month each and my husband's income is usually $2300/month.

Hello, Codey. What is the difference between SSI and SSB? This is all new to me and I certainly need help in my discovery. Who made the decision in order for you to receive the SSI? and again, who made the decision for your change to SSB? Were you injured? How long have you waited to receive these benefit(s)? Was your injury work related? What is the difference between a worker's compensation injury claim and a determination that one is permanently disabled? Thanks and Good Luck.

So sorry I made a mistake SSI is SSI which is what I receive before my Social Securty Benefits of which is was based on my income before I Qualified for my SSB kick in. This is what the Social Securty Office told me. I think thats right. I do know one thing getting your Social Securty is a joke, they want you to go into the porhouse before you get it and the laywers make a killing from you to.
