What makes it possible for disabled persons to collect payments from the government?

There are several reasons that you can collect disability. The decision is usually based on a per person situation. If you believe you might have a condition that would qualify for disability, start by talking to your primary physician. They will then refer you to further doctors or more testing to determine if your condition might qualify. Generally, you would be required to have a permanent disability before SS would consider you to qualify. Be prepared to have to go through a lengthy process for the determination. Do not be surprised if you are denied a first or second time. The key is perseverance and to keep appealing the decision and reapply. Hope this helps

What are the benefits of improved benefits?

Improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has numerous benefits for the overall health and well-being of an individual. The first and most obvious benefit is that it results in an improvement of cardiovascular and respiratory function. The heart and lungs become more efficient, which means they do not have to work as hard during rest or exercise. Blood pressure and heart rate decrease as maximal oxygen consumption increases. This results in the ability to work harder longer.Another benefit, and arguably the most important, is the decrease in risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), and Type 2 Diabetes. As CRF increases, there is a reduction in blood pressure, insulin needs and total body and visceral fat. Likewise, there is an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol) and glucose tolerance. This decrease in risk factors leads to an overall decrease in morbidity and mortality (death) and instances of sudden death associated with CVD, CAD, and Type 2 diabetes. For the benefits of CRF aforementioned, there is strong evidence to support a dose-response relationship. This means that the more time spent participating in and improving CRF, the more of each benefit will be seen.CRF also results in several non-health related benefits. There is a decrease in anxiety and depression along with enhanced feelings of well-being. Cognitive function increases, as do the performances of work, recreational, and sports-related activities.

What portion of Social Security is taxable income?

You will have to use the worksheet to determine the correct amount. If you have other worldwide income, tax exempt interest, tax exempt dividends, etc it is possible that from 50% to 85% of your social security benefits could become taxable income on your income tax return at your marginal tax rate.

Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits. Publication 915 is available on the IRS Web site.

If you received income from other sources, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status.

For a single taxpayer the base amount (cap) is $25,000.

Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured on a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet. You can do the following quick computation to determine whether some of your benefits may be taxable:

*.First, add one-half of the total Social Security benefits you received to all your other income, including any tax exempt interest and other exclusions from income.

*.Then, compare this total to the base amount for your filing status, if the total is more than your base amount, then some of your benefits may be taxable. From 50% to 85% of your SSB can become taxable income on your 1040 income tax return and would be added to all of your other gross income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.

For additional information on the taxability of Social Security benefits, Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits

Does social security pay at the beginning or end of the month?

If you filed for benefits before May 1997:

Social Security payments are usually dated and delivered on the third day of the month following the month for which the payment is due. For example, payments for January are delivered on February 3. If the third of the month is a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, payments are dated and delivered on the first day preceding the third of the month which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday. For example, if the third is a Saturday or Sunday, payments are delivered on the preceding Friday.

If you filed for benefits in or after May 1997:

If you file for Social Security benefits May 1, 1997, or later, you are assigned one of three new payment days based on the date of birth of the person on whose record your entitlement is established (the insured individual):

  1. The payment day for insured individuals born on the 1st through the 10th of the month is the second Wednesday of each month;
  2. The payment day for insured individuals born on the 11th through the 20th of the month is the third Wednesday of each month; and
  3. The payment day for insured individuals born after the 20th of the month is the fourth Wednesday of each month.

If the scheduled Wednesday payment day is a Federal holiday, payment is made on the preceding day that is not a Federal holiday.

Exceptions to the May 1997 Rule:

You will receive your Social Security payment on the third of the month if you are any of the following:

  1. A beneficiary who also receives SSI payment;
  2. A beneficiary whose income is deemed to an SSI recipient;
  3. A beneficiary whose Medicare premiums are paid for by the state in which you live;
  4. A beneficiary living in a foreign country;
  5. A beneficiary entitled to payments on the third of the month, who later became entitled on another record, as long as there is no break in your entitlement;
  6. A recipient of garnished payments, tax levy case payments, or payments made via the critical payment system; or
  7. A beneficiary entitled on the same record as one of the above.

Your SSI (SUPPLEMENT SECURITY INCOME) checks NOT your social security benefit check are U.S. government checks. They usually come in the mail on the first of the month. Your check must be cashed within 12 months after the date of the check or it will be void.

If the first of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, you will get your check on the banking day before.

What mental illness qualifies for SSI disability?

http://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/12.00-MentalDisorders-Adult.htm

This gives a full list of accepted mental disorders for SSI disability ratings. These disorders must be diagnosed by a certified Psychologist or Psychiatrist and must be determined to be disabling to a degree that impairs daily functioning and the ability to seek, gain, and maintain employment of ANY kind. This means that if you are at all able to care for yourself or think critically on a regular basis, you will likely be denied the claim. For ratings they don't care what you currently do for work, only that you could get some type of job if you are not fully and regularly incapacitated to a degree that prevents work.
