Disability Issues

"No matter where you reside in the United States, Medicare should pay 80 percent of the allowable price for your electric wheelchair once you are approved. The allowable price will vary by state, chair type and accessories ordered. The average electric wheelchair will have a price of $4800-$6500."

Check your local social service agencies, apply for Section 8 housing, and, possibly move in with someone, sharing rent, until you get the money together.

Medical insurance payments to the providers of the services for your medical bill charges would not reduce the amount that medicare will approve for the payment amount charges that they will pay for the services that you have received.

(this is additional info added by a different person.) It can be wheelchairs and mental troubles such as being slow. Such as relationships if one person is completely correct then there should be no problem because they can take care of their of their other. If it is two mentally not correct people you may have problems for obvious reasons.

Yes, if income taxes were deducted and you are entitled to refund due to income tax rate, dependents, deductions, etc. as any other tax payer

Chief among them would be that, regardless of the interviewee's physical or mental limitations, are they otherwise qualified to perform the job that they are interviewing for.

Every client seeks to trust the counselor/therapist/doctor/ nurse. When a positive rapport is established, the person begins to relax, to share, and to trust that what they talk about is valued. When we value another person through good listening skills, rapport, and trust, we can see improvements in self-esteem, personal empowerment, and positive action.

I'm sure not. You probably need all your senses to function normally for a job that requires keen senses.

As far as I know, when you are on disability your are to return to your employer with either the same or similar position. They can give away your position, but you are allowed back onto the job with a similar or same position. For example, you stock shelves in a store in Dept A. making $$ an hour. You go on disability and they put another person in your spot. When you return to work after being on disability your employer is obligated to have you stock shelves as before at $$ per hour, but it may be in a Dept B.

I hope that makes sense. I would fill out the FMLA form because that protects you.

Social Security benefits are paid in arrears. That is, benefits are paid on the 1st of the month AFTER the beneficiary has earned them by living the previous month. The requirement is a person must live the entire month to earn the benefit. For instance, if one dies during the month of September - even September 30th - then no benefit should be paid on October 1st.

If a beneficiary dies, you should notify the Social Security Administration immediately, as well as any other federal retirement office which pays retirement annuities. If a check is sent, don't cash it but return it. If money is directly deposited in the bank, don't spend it as it will be transferred back to the government.

You should first call (800) 772-1213 and speak with a Social Security agent for more information.

Unfortunately yes. But it is not yet 100% sure if he's going to be wheelchaired forever..

Because medicare is a government-run thing, and just like everything else that is registered with the government, like birth certificates and military history, medicare requires your personal SSN, which you should do everyting that you can to make sure that no one sees that to steal your identity.

Obviously, jobs that require being seated are best. People in wheelchairs work in offices, assembly plants, call centers, etc.

No. The schedules are for the Federal income tax only.

(To start - FICA contributions are considered more an insurance and retirement payment, not a tax -(it is earmarked and not available as part of ordinary US Treasury funds, and the "income" that it is based off of is defined entirely different than that for Income Tax. Many people have very large incomes but owe no SS, or can have no taxable income - after losses and deductions, and still owe and have substantial FICA contribution income).

every 5 years if they qualify for it and there if justification for the need.

Striped area on the pavement means no parking. Ever. Vehicles are not supposed to be on that pavement. There is no requirement that there is a sign for handicapped parking, it must be clearly marked. And if it is painted on the pavement and it isn't covered with snow, there is no excuse.

I know from personal experience that Social Security will pay disabled individuals who are deemed permanently disabled. That is through FICA, the Federal INSURANCE contribution act. Most people do not know that FICA is an insurance plan that not only pays when an individual reaches retirement age but also for disability, survivor's benefits to children under 18 whose parent has died, and a whole $250 burial benefit (which hasn't been changed or upgraded since inception of the act in 1936).

For those who have not earned sufficient amounts to have social security pay, a permanently disabled can receive SSDI, Social Security Disability Income which is separate from the regular SSD (Social Security Disability) program.

A massive hemorrhagic stroke disabled me to the point that I could not walk, talk or, of course, do any work. It has taken YEARS to get to the point that I'm at now.

When I turned 65, my disability income from SSD (I had been a computer engineer when I had the stroke) converted to regular Social Security and I continued to receive the same amount as when I was receiving disability income.

Hope that helps.

If you mean by Medicare (social security doesn't 'cover' treatments), mental health counseling, and hospital treatments are covered. Medicare part D plans (the drug plans) will cover a variety of medications, but some (like xanax) are excluded by many.

Yes if you explain at the ordering speaker that you are disabled and need a refill the manager will tell the crew that it is ok to do.

it is important to stretch out your muscles so you don't pull a muscle

It can take anywhere from a month to a year for the VA to decide disability. This all depends on what the disability it is and how much.

you should have tricare if you are a vet. If you are old enough to get medicare, tricare for life is the insurance that is usually attached. Get online and tricare.com I belive that not all vets have tricare. You receive Tricare benefits if you were retired from the military (either medically or due to time/age). You would have a retired ID card and that is your Tricare medical card as well. If you think you are eligible you can contact tricare by calling 1-800-tricare and you will be directed to the necessary region. I hope that helps. My husband and I were both medically retired/disabled and have tricare insurance. But friends that are considered disabled by the VA only do not get the same benefits. I am basing my response on personal knowledge and experience.
