Social Security

The biggest argument in favor of keeping Social Security is that since 1935 all workers in the U.S. have been funding Social Security through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes that are deducted from their pay with the promise that some day it will be their turn to collect payments, which will be funded by the FICA taxes collected from the next generation. The reason Social Security is failing is that in 1935 they did not anticipate that the ratio of retirement-age people to working-age people would increase as much as it has.

Retirement, Disability, Survivors and Medicare

OASDI is not taken out.

Income tax is taken out on request only. Contact the Social Security Administration if you want tax to be withheld.

Whether or not you ask for tax to be withheld, you may be liable for tax on your SS payments. That is computed when you fill out your Form 1040 at the end of the year. If you do not have sufficient tax withheld or make estimated payments, you may be subject to a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes if you owe any taxes.

knows

You can not. The Federal Government does this every day. Tax liens are placed and property seized all the time for this purpose. You really can not get away from paying the full tax for SSI.

There will be no effect.

Yes, but you must let social security know about the income. Your benefit amount may be reduced some to offset part of the income.

They are called Transfer Payments

Yes. The workers comp settlement is compensation for past injury and loss of earning capacity, and is a finite amount. Social Security disability is for inability to work in the present and future and may be a permanent monthly stipend.

Yes, the issue of a citizen collecting SS benefits, public assistance or private disability/pension is not relevant when it pertains to a civil suit of any nature.

No, they can't attach levy on SSDis benefits if that is your only sourec of income.

No. North Carolina is not one of the fourteen states that taxes Social Security benefits.

The insurance policy should have the company's name on the front cover. Get the number and call the national home office number, or the local office if you can find it. An agent will prepare a revised copy.

In general, you may receive both military and Social Security benefits at the same time.

It can be reported by mail, internet or phone (1-800-772-1213.)

First, know the facts. A person collecting social security disability can work up to 9 months during a 36 month period with some offset.

Do your research on those rules and make sure you know what you are talking about. You also need to know the facts about the person's situation and the odds are you do not. Karma will come back to you.

Most people would rather be working than collecting disability. Disability is a pretty paltry sum. It's hardly enough to live on. Perhaps you should encourage the person to work and become independent enough to get off disability.

If you were actually married for 10 years (not just together for 10 years), then you're eligible to draw off his social security (he still gets funds too). However, if you remarry prior to retirement, then you are no longer eligible to draw off his social security, unless your later marriage ends (death, divorce, annulment).

Yes.

However, it is subject to a very complicated formula that takes into account what your total income is and takes into account certain non-taxable income such as municipal bond interest. And the whole amount of your Social Security payment is not taxable. A maximum of 85% of your payment is taxable. (Don't misunderstand this statement, the tax rate is NOT 85%.)

If you really want to know if your benefits will be taxable, fill out the Social Security Benefits Worksheet on page 27 of the Form 1040 instructions:

Go to the social security website and look at the listing of impairments. This will show what you will need to prove for disability

You should receive a letter from the Social Security Administration telling you when to expect the money. Unfortunately, they are sometimes slow in sending the letters out.

It is a source of income that can be used to show the ability to take care of one's self. Of course that check alone isn't enough to support a person.

I'm going through this right now and my brother in law is a lawyer. In the state of Michigan they can only withhold your unemployment benefit checks if is for child support or spousal. It is unearned income!
yes it can

No, the Social Security System was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, as part of "The New Deal".

Johnson was the one that started handing out Social Security money to people who were neither retired nor disabled, though, with his "Great Society" schemes, and his "War On Poverty".
