Can you draw as much money at 65 on Social Security retirement as on disability?

Social Security disability benefits are typically lower than retirement benefits because they are calculated on the basis of fewer years of income. When a disabled worker reaches full retirement age, his or her benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement income at the same rate. There is no windfall payment for disability.


Does your unemployment cease when you become eligible for Social Security benefits?

Disability payments are Social Security Payments. When a person reaches full retirement age (66), the payments continue as normal, but are no longer considered disability payments. A person does not receive two payments.


Which two programs managed by the Social Security Administration pay monthly disability benefits to people younger than age 65 who cannot work for at least a year because of a severe disability?

I know from personal experience that Social Security will pay disabled individuals who are deemed permanently disabled. That is through FICA, the Federal INSURANCE contribution act. Most people do not know that FICA is an insurance plan that not only pays when an individual reaches retirement age but also for disability, survivor's benefits to children under 18 whose parent has died, and a whole $250 burial benefit (which hasn't been changed or upgraded since inception of the act in 1936). For those who have not earned sufficient amounts to have social security pay, a permanently disabled can receive SSDI, Social Security Disability Income which is separate from the regular SSD (Social Security Disability) program. A massive hemorrhagic stroke disabled me to the point that I could not walk, talk or, of course, do any work. It has taken YEARS to get to the point that I'm at now. When I turned 65, my disability income from SSD (I had been a computer engineer when I had the stroke) converted to regular Social Security and I continued to receive the same amount as when I was receiving disability income. Hope that helps.


Does an underage father of a child have to pay child support?

The laws differ in different jurisdictions. In some states the father's parents can be held responsible for child support until he reaches eighteen years of age. In some states paternity would be established but would not be enforced until the father reaches eighteen. You need to check the laws in your jurisdiction.


In Virginia is a parent required to pay child support after his or her eighteen birthday?

Generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child marries, is removed from disability status by a court order, or the child dies.

Protect Your Income with Disability Insurance?

Chances are that you have some form of life insurance protecting your family from the financial strain of your premature death. However, the odds of you facing some sort of disability that interrupts your capacity to earn income are much greater than those of your premature death. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a male U.S. worker at age 35 has a 20% chance of seeing a disability that leaves him unable to earn income for at least 90 days. Also, from the NAIC, before a 35-year-old woman reaches retirement age, she can expect a one-in-three risk of a disability lasting at least 90 days. It seems strange that despite the greater risk of a long-term disability compared to that of premature death, most workers do not insure against this risk. Yes, the Social Security Administration may have a check with your name on it if you qualify for their disability income protection, however you must be severely disabled in order to qualify, and the benefit amount will most likely not cover all your expenses. Aside from Social Security disability benefits there are other options. Many employers offer short-term and/or long-term disability insurance to their employees as an employment benefit. As a first step check with your employer and see if you are covered under a group policy as a benefit of being an employee. Secondly, you may decide to seek private disability insurance. Even if your company has a group policy it may be necessary to purchase private insurance on your own to fully protect against the financial strain a disability can have on a household. Asking your insurance agent or financial advisor about analyzing your needs for disability insurance can be a big step towards peace of mind when considering your chances of facing a disability.


What is the definition of social security taxes?

The amount of money deducted from your gross salary, supposedly put in a "lock box" for future use as a "retirement benefit" from US Govt. when one reaches the age of 62 or later. The older one is before one begins withdrawing SS, the more one should receive each month, up to your maximum input permanent retirement. If one has been married for at least ten years, gets divorced, the person with the lower SS earnings is able to collect 50% of the other spouse's SS benefits, without reducing the higher earner's benefits until the lower earner remarries. If one is on disability , SS no longer is withdrawn from disability check. One can also receive SS disability , should one qualify. That amount is then deducted from one's company's disability payments, but is no taxable, like income from work disability.
