You can contribute to an IRA if you are not yet 70 1/2 and have some source of W-2 / 1099 self employment income. Social security payments are NOT considered income that can be used to contribute to an IRA.
If you can afford to contribute to an IRA account, you should not be receiving social security checks. Disability checks are being paid so you can pay rent, buy food and not to save it in an IRA account. Be careful, you can go to jail if they feel you have lied about your income.
No, you cannot directly deposit Social Security income into an IRA. Social Security benefits are not considered earned income and cannot be contributed to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
IRA contributions do not directly affect Social Security benefits when collecting. Social Security benefits are based on your earnings history, while IRA contributions are separate retirement savings that do not impact the amount of Social Security benefits you receive.
The initial requirement is that a person gains taxable income to initiate an IRA. Exceptions include workerman's comp, social security, or disability. However, there is a cap of $3000.00 a consumer can contribute a year.
To have an Ira withdrawal you should most definitely contact who ever it is that you get your social security card from and have them do it. They helped when I wanted to do it.
No, in order to contribute to a Roth IRA, an individual must have earned income. Retirement income, such as pensions or Social Security benefits, does not count as earned income for the purposes of contributing to a Roth IRA. Therefore, if your spouse has retired and is no longer earning income from work, they would not be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
IRA's are not an eligibility factor for Social Security or Medicare. However, they are considered an asset for Medicaid.

IRA withdrawals are subject to neither Medicare nor Social Security tax.
No, you cannot contribute to both a Simple IRA and a Traditional IRA in the same year.
A Roth IRA is supposed to be free of "all taxes", so I would guess that it is also free of social security tax, or else it would have a 15.3% tax on it. That would hardly be "free", but this is actually a good question. A regular IRA IS taxed upon withdrawal, but I don't know if it qualifies as "earned income" which is the only income that has to pay a social security tax.
no - after age 70 1/2
