The social security offices in each state provide many services to the public. Here one can register and obtain a social security card and apply for social security benefits among many other things.

Can bankruptcy discharge Social Security Disability Attorney fees?

Perhaps the pure answer is Yes, BK courts have great authority on being able to discharge debts, incurred pre-petition, in accord with established priorities of claims. So, things like administrative fee's for the bankruptcy are normally paid in full, regardless.

Will the Court discharge another attorney's fees, incurred while essentially doing things favorable to the party and the debtors (that is assuring all rights to deserved money is received), regardless of when incurred, is another question. And clearly, any attorney is generally well equipped to defend his right to collection and support why he should be paid before others.

And I suspect, to assure you get a favorable result from the BK (which may not be the process your thinking) you would need to hire another lawyer to handle the BK process, and pay their fees.

The correct answer is that an attorney representing a disabled client in a Social Security Disability claim or appeal will receive one-third of the amount owed from the date the claim was filed to the date it was allowed. This is a lien on the arrears and it will not be discharged in a bankruptcy.

Can a judge lock someone up for not working when they are drawing Social Security Disability?

Not for that particular reason alone. But if you are being tried in front of that judge because investigation has disclosed that you are drawing SSDI fraudulently, of course, he can find you guilty and incarcerate you. Or - another situatiion might be - you are not 100% disabled but the judge finds that you are wilfully unemployed or under-employed (for instance in a child support case).

Can you receive unemployment if you receive Social Security Disability benefits in Nebraska?

Among the requirements for eligibility, you must be ready, willing, and ABLE to start work that you are seeking full time and if you are on Disability benefits, it's implied you are unable to work.

Neither SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance income) nor Unemployment benefits are considered "wages". SSDI allows trial work periods where a certain amount of wages is allowed from actual jobs without affecting the disability benefit amount. But even that still doesn't apply to Unemployment benefits, because they are not wages, either. Since unemployment pays as long as you have not earned over your benefit amount for the reporting period, and since SSDI is not "earnings", then both benefits can be received at the same time without one affecting the other.

Unemployment still pays as long as you are able and available to work. People with disabilities can be able to work according to the definition for unemployment benefits. It may take longer to find such a job, but the unemployment rule that you have to be able to work and looking for work to receive benefits will usually not be affected by your disability status and payments, as long as there is some type of job that you can do and you are actively looking for it.

Obviously, a disabled person in a coma is not able to work, but many people with disabilities can do some form of work that accommodates their particular disability.

See the related question below for more information and links to the SSDI and government sites for definitions, etc.

Additional information from Social Security Administration:

Social Security Disability Insurance pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you are "insured," meaning that you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.

Supplemental Security Income pays benefits based on financial need.

If you live on Social Security Disability and a VA pension can these be garnished and if you homestead your house is it protected from liens?

All Social Security and VA benefits are exempt from creditor actions. In regards to homestead protection, that is determined by the laws of the state of residency. Some states such as Florida have unlimited exemption amount, others have as little as $3,000. A lien can in some cases be placed against the property. I am sorry I cannot be more specific without knowing the state where you reside. If you feel I can be of further assistance please feel free to email.

Can a foreign bank sue in an American court for credit card debt if your only income is a Social Security pension?

yes, it is a form of restitution as they will probably have a registered office in the country that they wish to take court action. The reason for doing this while on benefits is that they can receive and order to state that payment is still due until you are to get into osition to make paymnets. Like wise if you look at the terms if the agreements tbat you signed (a summary will be on the back of the statement of their web site) it will give you full details.

No.

Civil action does not carry over from one country to another.

In some rare cases such as American Express or other major financial institution a civil suit has been allowed under the existing laws and the appropriate state court where the debtor resides.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the incurrance of the debt, Social Security benefits of any type are 100% exempt from creditor action.

No. The Social Security Number (SSN) is retained for the person even after he/she is deceased. The reason for this is that important documents (such as tax records) still maintain the person's SSN. If the identical SSN is given to another individual, it will simply confuse matters.

How old does my spouse have to be to get a check from my Social Security?

If you and your spouse have been married for at least 10 years, she will be eligible for a Survivor Social Security Benefit monthly check if you are deceased, and if she is age 62. But if she is disabled, she may qualify to draw it at an earlier age. You can phone your social security office or go online to be sure though, which I recommend.
