Could you collect disability if your employer does not provide disability it and your work requires you to be on your feet and have to have foot surgery and be off work for two months?

There are two ways that a person can receive Disability benefits: from Social Security and/or from an employer or individual Disability policy. If your employer does not provide Disability insurance coverage and you do not have your own individual Disability coverage, you will not be able to receive disability benefits, unless you live in a state that has a state-sponsored plan. In order to receive benefits from a Disability policy, you must actually own one or have coverage through your employer. Additionally you must satisfy the requirements of the contract in order to receive benefits. Social Security benefits only pay benefits on disabilities that are expected to last longer than 1 year or end in death, so you would not qualify for Social Security benefits.

What percentage do you reimburse your insurance company when you are approved for Social Security Disability?

This will depend on the type of coverage that you have, and more specifically the provisions of your coverage.If you have group coverage, then the chances are very high that your benefits will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any social security benefits you receive, including family social security benefits as well.If you are a Federal government employee, then your benefits will be affected as stated in the FERS program. The FERS program states that 100% of Social security benefits will be offset in the first 12 months of a claim, but only 60% of SS security benefits will offset for each month thereafter.If you have an individually owned policy then you will have to review the provisions of your contract. Insurance companies offer a rider known as Social insurance benefits or Supplemental disability benefits. This is essentially a monthly benefit that will be paid when you are eligible for an insurance claim but not eligible for Social security benefits. If you are eligible for SS benefits, then the benefits from this rider will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any SS benefits you receive. The basic or base disability benefit that your contract provides will not offset at all with social security benefits.

Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Illinois?

Yes, but unfortunately, Illinois and Louisiana are the only states that have not changed the law that deducts money from unemployment payments to people who also receive social securityHere's the formula in Illinois -- multiply your monthly social security payment by 12 (months). Divide that amount by 52 (weeks). Divide that amount in half and that's the amount that will be deducted from your weekly unemployment payment. If you have a dependent, usually a spouse, the amount might be a little different. But not by much.Realize the unemployment benefits are reduced, not the Social Security benefits. Your Social Security benefits will continue at the expected rate.Example:$1,200 monthly social security payment x 12 months = $14,400$14,400 / 52 weeks = $279.92 / 2 = $139.96eligible for $385 weekly unemployment payment - $139.96 = $245.04 is your weekly unemployment paymentThis unfair law can only be repealed by the State Legislature. Illinois AARP has made it a priority.

What is full Social Security Benefits born in 1957?

Individuals born in 1957 can receive full Social Security benefits at age 66 years and 6 months. This means they can start receiving their full retirement benefit amount without any reductions if they wait until that age to claim. They can choose to begin receiving benefits as early as age 62, but doing so will result in a permanent reduction in their monthly payments.
