Social Security

Some taxes, they do allot to avoid paying taxes, they do pay most of same taxes that we do!

But depending on the group and the laws of their area, they can avoid paying a number taxes, most do not pay Social Security and often do not report all income.

They often use trade amongst each other for goods, which is large percentage financial transaction, that never is thus taxed.

They do use the same systems of government aid and government agencies, they use same public convinces as buss systems and parks, and it is increasing debate how much drain the Amish society is to the state and federal finances.

But there is no doubt, that the increasing medical problems among the Amish people, is putting a burden on health care system, as Amish tend to settle their bills at discount percentage of the cost.

You can't apply until 30 days after your 62nd, 66th or 70th birthdays if you wait until those ages to retire. Or you can apply anytime in between those birthdates if you choose. For example you could file for retirement in August of your 63rd year if you decided to retire then. WRONG You can apply within 4 months of when you are eligible for your first payment.

IT WAS not Lyndon Baines Johnson WHO TOOK OUR MONEY AND PUT IT INTO THE GENERAL FUND. HE did not steal OUR MONEY AND NOW WE HAVE MONEY LEFT AFTER WORKING 60 YEARS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO HAVE A VOTE ABOUT IT. WE NOW GIVE THE MONEY TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER PUT A DIME INTO IT AND ARE NOT EVEN CITIZENS OF THE U.S.A. THANK YOU Republican CONGRESS FOR DESTROYING US.

In my case starting to collect at 62 vice 65 meant reciveing an additional 42000 dollars before turning 65. If I had waited till 65 it would have taken about eleven and a half years for the higher benifit to catch up to what I recived. I for one don't know how long I will live but if I get to 75 I am even.

Social Security was originally introduced as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal pacakage of reforms, which were intended to remedy problems which had been caused by the Great Depression. Certain groups of people were particularly vulnerable to poverty, and one of these groups was (and remains) the elderly. Most people, if they live to a sufficiently advanced age, will eventually have to retire as a result of declining health. Yet, most people are never able to save up enough money to be able to support themselves in their retirement - particularly because they don't really know how many years that will be, anyway. The previous practice, prior to Social Security, was for the elderly to depend upon their children to support them, but that often didn't work very well, particularly during times of economic difficulty such as the Great Depression, when people had enough trouble taking care of themselves without having to also worry about their elderly parents. And of course, not everybody has children anyway. Some people have no children, some people outlive their children, and some people have children who are either not willing or not able to help their parents anyway. With social security, people might not have as much money as they used to have before retirement, but at least they would not be in a state of desperate poverty, having nothing.

In UK Disability Benefit or DLA is paid regardless of work. ie Anyone can claim even if they work. If you claim Income Support or Incapacity Benefit as well, you are allowed to do 16 hours therapeutic work PW,with no effect to benefit entitlement. You must inform the DHSS of any work undertaken

You can take early retirement at age 62 if you have accumulated the required 40 work credits, but your benefit amount will be reduced to approximately 75% of what you would receive if you postponed retirement until full retirement age (66 for people born between 1943 and 1954) or later.

You can collect Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits at any age if you meet guidelines for both work credit eligibility and disability determination.

In the US Social Security System, citizenship is not a requirement, so yes, a non-citizen can collect Social Security as long as all other requirements are met.

Legally, no, (USC 101-501. Is it done, yes. Even though military retirement benefits are legally exempt from IRS garnishment, it is sometimes allowed because the IRS is a very powerful (some believe out of control) agency. The IRS continually violates the rights of active and retired military personnel to be exempt from garnishment and penalties. The agency also violates the rights of U.S. citizens with complete immunity. The best option if the IRS attempts to garnish exempted property, income or assets is to file a counter-suit in U.S. District Court.

Medicare does not cover medical alerts and your insurance usually won't either. However under specific circumstance Medicaid will pay for it and some states have laws which will subsidize medical alerts.

If you mean how much you will draw monthly, it depends on your income prior to retirement. There isn't a way to give a specific answer with only that information. You could try contacting the government or searching the Social Security website for a chart to help you see where somebody with your background falls under.

If you mean in total, it also depends on how long you live, and whether you choose to begin drawing early at the cost of permanently reduced benefits.

There are a number of potential monetary benefits that someone 52 may be eligible to collect under SSA either under their own earnings record or that of another significant party (parent, step parent, spouse, divorced spouse, deceased spouse). * A disabled person on his/her own earnings record (social security disability benefits) * A disabled widow(er) between the ages of 50 - 60 (at age 60 he/she could be potentially entitled as a widow(er)) on the deceased person's earnings record (disabled widow(er) benefits) * A disabled child (an adult child who was found to be disabled prior to age 22 and eligible on a parent's earnings record (Adult disabled child benefits) * A mother in care of a child entitled on the earnings record of the other spouse (the child would need to be under age 16 or disabled and need the care of the party applying for daily care) (Child in care benefits). Additional requirements and factors of entitlement should be directed to a SSA representative for a more detailed account of what your particular case involves. Earnings limits apply in all these cases - some would fall under the annual earnings test and the cases where a disability is the factor of entitlement substantial gainful activity applies. Those amounts are set annually. However, if you are referring to SSA retirement benefits - the earliest age to collect retirement benefits is 62. The earliest to collect widow(er) benefits - no disability alleged, minor and/or children in care - is age 60. Again, earnings limits apply. ** note this is not an all inclusive response - please check with SSA for additional factors of entitlement and how they may apply to you!
This is possible only if you become disabled; you cannot collect retirement income until age 62 or older.

You cannot refinance a mortgage if you don't already have a mortgage, so how did you get a mortgage if you are an illegal immigrant with no social security number?

The Social Security Act was passed in 1935.

No. Social Security is meant for people who are completely disabled and cannot work. Welfare checks are given to struggling single women with children.

No.

SSN's are only usable under certain circumstances for employers, lenders and the like to check certain information.

To use someone's SSN to check their income would mean getting protected information from the Internal Revenue Service and State Revenue Services. This will not happen as all that information is private and protected. Not even public figures have public income records without first giving permission for them to exist.

In court, an official subpoena must be issued to get such records.

Income is also not on the credit information from any of the credit bureaus. Jobs, yes. Income, no.

Not likely. Most insurers, if they know that they are on social security benefits, would not loan the money to them.

A great website to help you find information and advice for social security benefits is www.irs.gov. This website has lots of information that will help you with your taxes.

Lottery winnings will NOT count as a part of your earned income for the earnings test amount because the winning amount from the lottery is NOT earned income.

Yes the amount of the lottery winnings will affect how much of your social security benefits will become taxable income on your 1040 income tax return. Depending on the total amount of all of your other gross income including the lottery winnings from 50 % to 85 % of your SSB can become taxable income on your federal income tax return at your marginal tax rate.

The Equal Pay Act was significant as it gave women the same amount of pay as men. However women still do not have equal pay today and it will apparently take 50 years!
