From the social security web site.
You can get SSI if your other income, including SSD, is less than the SSI standard.
No. You will collect one or the other. SSI will initially kick in, then you have to pay it back out of SSD when you qualify. SSI is usually much less than SSD.
This would be explained in the notice that SSI sent to your wife when they discontinued benefits. My guess is that her SSD benefit as your spouse exceeds the SSI benefit.
I little confusing. Is the father on SSD? The child's SSI payment will be reduced by other income, including SSD.
Yes (but not SSI).
Under SSD, there's a child benefit check, but you still need to get a modification. see links below
Child support can be garnished from RSDI payments (but not SSI).
RSDI eligibility is not contingent on assets (unlike SSI eligibility).
Yes, it is possible to receive both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits in the state of Florida. SSI is a need-based program for low-income individuals with disabilities, while SSD is based on prior work history and contributions to Social Security. Eligibility for each program is determined separately based on specific criteria.
No. SSI and other Social Security or public assistance benefits can only be garnished if the matter relates to child support or tax arrearages. There has, however, been an issue with governmental agencies accessing people's bank accounts. This has been a problem for those with automatic deposit of their SSI checks.
yes
NO, your SS benefits would be exempt under federal law. However, avoid co-mingleing funds in the same account as your SSD benefits.
