Usually on the first day of the month, unless that falls on a weekend in which case it would be on the first business day of the month.
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.
How do you make extra money if you are receiving disability benefits?
If you're talking about US Social Security disability benefits, you're allowed to work and still receive benefits. Contact the Social Security Administration for details; ask for publication 05-10095 "Working While Disabled - How We Can Help". After a trial period, your benefits will be reduced, but you'll still come out ahead of what you were getting from benefits alone (the first $85 per month you make doesn't affect your benefits, and after that your benefits are reduced by only fifty cents per dollar you earn).Other types of disability benefits may have different rules; you should contact whomever is in charge of them and ask.
When a person is awarded Social Security Disability Insurance how is it that Social Security can withhold 6 months of pay?
When you are awarded Social Security disability benefits, you do not receive benefits beginning on your onset date. Rather, there is a 5 month "waiting period" before benefits begin. As a practical matter, however, it is often a 6 month waiting period. This is because the waiting period is 5 full months of disability. So if you have partial month, that month simply doesn't count. For example, if you became unable to work on the 2nd day of the month, that whole first month would not count, since it is a partial month of disability. So the effective waiting period can be as long as six months before benefits are due. For SSI benefits, there is no waiting period. Benefits accrue beginning the day you file for benefits.

Can alcoholics collect disability insurance?
Some disability insurance policies will cover drug & alcohol as any other disability, but usually limit the benefits to maximum 24 month. If you had a disability insurance prior to being disabled from work due to alcoholism, and the policy did not specifically exclude drug & alcohol disabilities, you may be entitled to disability benefits.
This department handed out medical and disability benefits to veterans and their families?
The Department of Veterans' Affairs, commonly called the VA. Yes, medical and disability benefits can be granted to a spouse. The spouse must need Aid & Attendence and can receive up to $140 a month. Also the DVA can grant (on a space available basis) health care in one of its hospitals. If the Veteran is rated 100% P&T or 100% IU, the spouse and children are entitled to CHAMPVA (if the veteran isn't a uniformed retiree - there are seven services USPS, NOAA, Army, Navy, MC, USCG, and USAF).
Do you qualify for disability if you are not able to work 3 weeks out of the month because of illness?
You would need to check with your disability insurance carrier to determine this. Depending on your plan and your plan's successive disability period, you may or may not be eligible for intermittent disability benefits.
Are there any benefits of deceased veterans for there wives?
Yes, spouses of deceased veterans can get up to $1056 per month. I know several widows who are receiving this benefit. It is not as much as a veteran gets, but it is a great benefit.
If you are on Social Security disability can you work without losing your benefits?
Yes you can attempt to go back to work without losing your benefits. The Social Security Disability department has special rules that help you keep your cash benefits and Medicare while you test your ability to work. These rules are called "work incentives" or "employment support" programs. The resources available can help with rehabilitation, finding an employer and even assist you in receiving benefits again immediately if you have to stop working again. There is a full section of the SS website devoted to this specifically, which I have added as a related link. If you have been on disability for more than 24 months, you can earn an average of $1,000 per month ($1,640 if legally blind) without the Social Security Administration considering the work "substantial gainful employment" (SGA) and triggering a continuing disability review (CDR). If you earn more than $720 per month, the income counts toward your nine-month trial work period. If you have been on disability for 24 months or less, any work attempt may trigger a CDR, requiring you to demonstrate your disability still prevents you from engaging in full-time work.
Can I Receive disability social security after receiving social security?
Once you reach retirement age, your Social Security Disability benefits convert to regular retirement benefits, payable at the same rate. You cannot collect an additional amount due to disability. It is possible that you could qualify for the SSI supplemental security income, which is based on disability and income, in addition to your month Social Security benefit, but this is a different program and is not administered by the SSA. The amount of SSI paid is adjusted monthly based on what the person was able to earn in that month.
Can you receive disability benefits and section 8 benefits at the same time in Florida?
Those are two totally different benefits that have no pertinence to each other. But to answer your question, this depends on how much your disability benefits are: if you are paid too much benefit money, you may not qualify for Section 8. Note that this depends more on how much the rent is vs. how much money you are paid each month.
Can you travel while on short term disability?
If you are receiving benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance, your moving will not affect the reception of benefits at all. Make sure to alert your Security office of your change of address so that you continue to receive correspondence from Social Security and your checks as well. If you are receiving benefits from Supplemental Security Insurance, moving could change the amount you receive in benefits, and it can also alter your eligibility to receive benefits at all. Some states add a payment to the federal SSI and detract this payment from your check each month. If you are moving from a state with no supplementary payment to one that does have one, your disability check will be slightly smaller in the new state. Disability benefits are also tied to income, so if your income changes, your disability payment will likely change as well. Call your local security office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your disability payments.
