Here is a good rule of thumb--when filing for bankruptcy you list EVERYTHING! And by everything, I mean everything. Courts do not appreciate even unintentional concealments of sources of income. My advice to you is to contact an attorney that specializes in bankruptcy to help you with the application and process. Doing so would answer questions like where to put what and also familiarize yourself with what debts are and are not dischargeable.

Are employer financed supplemental unemployment severance benefits an offset to long term disability?
A disability insurance policy can have two main categories of benefits: base benefit and supplemental benefit. Only the supplemental disability benefit can be reduced or offset by any other benefits received (including SS disability, Workers' Comp, or any other employer benefits). The base benefit will not be offset by any other benefits received.
Can you collect Workers Comp and Disability Insurance in the State of Mass?
Yes, the disability insurance payments can be paid on top of any workers comp payments received, if the policy's benefit is not integrated with any supplemental benefits. If your disability insurance policy is integrated with supplemental disability benefits, then the disability payments will be offset dollar for dollar by any mount received from workers comp or social security. That's why when you get a disability insurance policy, it is advised to include all or most of the disability benefit amount as "base benefit" which does not offset by any supplemental benefits received.
Can you get unempolyment while getting long term disability?
Disability benefits are received if you are unable to work. Unemployment is paid if you are able to work and actively searching for employment. These two definitions are contradictory, so you won't be able to legally collect disability benefits and unemployment.
Can a veteran lose his disability benefits for being arrested?
If benefits are for service connected disability then after 61 days of being convicted of a felony benefits will be reduced to $98.00 a month for anyone receiving more then $188.00 and if you received 98.00 then you will receive 49.00 a month. If convicted of a misdemeanor then benefits will not change.
Can you place a lien against your spouse's disability money before the benefits are received?
No. Social Security and/or private disability benefits are not subject to garnishment except for child support or federal tax arrearages and in rare cases spousal maintenance.
If you receive disability but just received a large amount of money from a sue can disability benefits be taken or cancelled?
Technically, that money has to be reported to the IRS, which would offset your SSI benefits, so yes, it could be reduced or withdrawn completely.
Can I get credit for arrearage in child support because my ex-wife received SSI for disability for children?
no
Can you receive disability and retirement benefits?
I do. I have received disability since 2005 and just started 2010 drawing my portion of my x's retirement. I didn't receive enough in disability to file a return but now with the other it put me over, so I will have to.
Can you received rental income on a second home while collecting long term disability benefits?
You can still receive long-term disability insurance benefits even if you receive rental income. Depending on the definition of the disability included in your contract, some policies may pay a lower benefit, if your passive income exceeds certain % compared to your pre-disability active earnings.
Should you cancel unemployment if you get ssdi?
Thats up to you, once the state learns you are on disability you would be required to repay any benefits you received.
Can my disability lump sum payment be garnished if I filed for bankruptcy 9 years ago?
Congress speciifically excluded Social Security disability benefits from the median income test calculations. This means that your Social Security benefits do not count when calculating your household income for median income/means test purposes. Further, there is a good chance that your on-going Social Security benefits will be considered as an exempt assets, although you should discuss with your lawyer about whether any lump sum owed you for past due benefits is exempt. On the other hand, on-going Social Security benefits are counted when you create your bankruptcy budget (Schedules I and J), so your SSDI benefits may change your disposable income picture. If you are in a Chapter 13 and receive your Social Security disability award, you and your lawyer may need to modify your plan. Your Social Security lawyer may also need to seek Bankruptcy Court approval for his fees. In any case, filing bankruptcy does not cancel or impact your right to receive Social Security benefits. So while your benefit MAY be subject to garnishment...not for anything from your BK...the BK makes no difference now...those debts were discharged.
Do you still have military benefits with honorable discharge?
