yes,ssd backpay will be taken.ssi cannot be touched
Attorneys can typically charge fees for assisting with temporary total disability claims if they provide legal services to help secure or appeal disability benefits. The fee structure may vary depending on the attorney and the specific arrangement made with the client. It's important to clarify the fee agreement and understand the terms before hiring an attorney for such services.
No. Edited to change answer to YES! If I understand you correctly, you are receiving LTD from an Insurance Policy you had through your Employer or bought yourself. Right? And you were just approved for Social Security and received your backpay - from the time you filed to the time you were awarded. Right? And now your LTD Company is asking for most of that money and have now decreased your monthly benefit by the amount of your Social Security check. Right? This is all VERY LEGAL AND NORMAL! Your LTD company pays you a certain amount - mine pays me 60% of my pre-tax income. Let's just say that is $1,000 (it isn't) And they have been paying you that $1,000 for 3 years. Now, Social Security is going to pay you $700 a month. And they gave you backpay for the past 2 years. Then your LTD company is going to start paying you only $300 a month - $1,000 minus $700 SS Check. You will NEVER receive Social Security Disability of $700 PLUS your $1,000 LTD check. I would assume you would see why this wouldn't happen, right? And your LTD is also entitled to their $700 a month for those 2 years that Social Security paid you for backpay. So you will owe them $16,800 ($700 x 24 months) So the original answer of NO is wrong. If this is the scenerio you are presenting anyway.
is ssa crazy.............if a person is disable and only gets disability from ss, how r they supposed to live
Typically, an SSI attorney charges fees on a contingent basis, which means they only receive payment if they win your case. The fee is usually a percentage of the backpay owed to you by the Social Security Administration, up to a maximum set by law. These fees are subject to approval by the SSA.
Social Security Disability is treated the same as Social Security old age benefits for income tax purposes. When you receive a lump sum payment for previous years, you have two options: 1) Treat the entire amount as income in the year you received it. In other words, treat the whole amount as a 2008 payment. 2) Use the special Lump Sum method for SS payments. See "Lump Sum Election" on page 11 of Publication 915: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf
You got approved, not the two kids. If they get something because of your disability, then I would expect that to go back the 14 months also. If you have to apply now for them to get benefits since you are approved it would start from the date you apply.
Backpay is a withheld payment for work which has already been completed, or which could have been completed had the employee not been prevented from doing so.

No.
Usually, the child's custodian; however, the State may retain all or part of the payments as reimbursement for assistance issued.
