I am filing for unemployment and social security disbality

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by Mr. James R. Linehan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
Bad move.   Filing unemployment generally means an oath that you are capable of working.  Filing for SSA means an oath you are incapable of working.   The SSA judge will demand an explanation.

If an individual on Social Security Disability is found guilty of a felony, sentenced to Jail time, will that person continue to receive disability?

Answered 13 years and 9 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
No, benefits will stop if confinement is greater than 30 days. It also depends on the type of benefits you receive to determine when the benefits stop: • SSI (Supplemental Security Income): your check will stop after you are in jail for a full calendar month, and • Retirement, Survivors or Disability benefits: your monthly benefits will stop after you remain in jail for more than 30 continuous days following your conviction date. If you are in jail awaiting trial, you will continue to get your check until you are convicted. The source for this answer is this page on the Social Security Administration website. It is an excellent article and contains additional information. PLEASE NOTE that an in person consultation is always best when you have a legal problem. DO NOT RELY on information for a legal remedy without having contacted a lawyer. Facts and circumstances of every case have to be applied to the law that is relevant for the state or location in question. NEVER rest on a right or defense you may have. Legal rights are not like wine - they don't improve with age or time. Time limits can completely prohibit recovery. SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY.

Should SS count a Schedule Award as income even though IRS, OWCP and OPM doesn''t?

Answered 14 years and 3 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
The rules that coordinate benefits between SSA and OWCP or whoever made your decision for federal retirement benefits are not always nice, and don't always coordinate.  However, as you describe it, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, or the timing of the sharing of information isn't up-to-date. My recommendation is to appeal both decisions and clearly state the facts for both entities.  It may take a lot of paperwork and more than one appeal, but it should sort itself out.  The SSA outcome will likely not change, but I should think you won't have to reimburse money to the Federal Government dollars that you were not paid.
