I never received all my back payment from SSI & want to know if I can still get the remainder since it has been awhile since I first got my disability

Answered a month ago by attorney Steven Neil Perrigo   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
If you are still owed any of your retroactive benefits from the time you were approved, they should be able to see that as a pending underpayment. The local SSA office is the best source for resolving your issue.  First, I would find your SSI Notice of Award and compare it to all the deposits you received that made up your back pay.  It sounds like you had a lawyer, so they would have received 25% of the back pay.  There would be no reason for them to "cheat you out of it"....

If your US Citizen stepson is over the age of 21, and you married his father before he turned 18, and you entered the United States with permission, then he can sponsor you for a green card. You can do all the paperwork here. Consider working with an immigration attorney. Some of us charge very affordable flat fee for start to finish representation. ... Read More

They are offering it because it is your choice when to start receiving benefits.  There is no way to know which offer is better unless you know how long you are going to live.  You should consult a financial planner for additional guidance.

How can a disabled person get a replacement SS card without visiting the SS office?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
The following information is on the website at social security www.ssa.gov  You can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you may not need to get a replacement card. Knowing your Social Security number is what is important. You need a Social Security number to get a job, collect Social Security benefits and receive some government services but you do not often need to show your Social Security card. If you decide that a card is necessary, go to this link https://faq.ssa.gov/ics/support/kbanswer.asp?deptID=34019&task=knowledge&questionID=1944  The Social Security Administration has set forth simple, detailed instructions to follow.  Any originals that you submit by mail will be returned. PLEASE NOTE the following: An attorney-client relationship is not being established because of the information provided above; 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; TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY go to http://goo.gl/cf1UM to find someone in your state.  Be sure to visit my website for answers to other Social Security Disability questions. http://haller-law.com/faq  ...

i am on SSI how much can i earn without it changing my monthly income

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by Mr. James R. Linehan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
Earnings trigger a trial work periodDuring a trial work period, a beneficiary receiving Social Security disability benefits may test his or her ability to work and still be considered disabled. We do not consider services performed during the trial work period as showing that the disability has ended until services have been performed in at least 9 months (not necessarily consecutive) in a rolling 60-month period. In 2012, any month in which earnings exceed $720 is considered a month of services for an individual's trial work period. In 2013, this monthly amount $750.   http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/twp.html...

The SSA will routinely send you the same and other forms to fill out and submit, over and over.  You must do so.  Failure to do so will result in delay or denial of your claim.

I just found out that my social security card was the same as the other girl. And they request that I change mine. Can I sue the Social Security Admin

Answered 14 years and 5 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
Not all mistakes permit suit to be filed.  This mistake, though very personal to you, and very inconvenient, in my opinion, would not result favorably for you if you sued the SSA.  The SSA is a governmental agency that has immunity from such suits.
