I'm 4' 9" 76 yr old female, someone told me I qualify for additional social security payment as I would be classified as a little person, is this true?
Hi there,
you may qualify if your condition leads you to earn less than what the SSA considers Substantial Gainful Activity, regardless of your height.
Hi Renae,
I'm sorry to hear that! However, disability benefits are awarded based on ability to work, so if you are able to work at a job you may not be able to be awarded benefits.
I am 66 yrs old, and am 4 ft 9" tall. I am receiving Railroad retirement. I have had 11 back operations and ongoing back problems. Do I qualify for any benefirs
Hi Annette,
Your height would not play a role in your disability, but your back problems could help you get approved. If you're unable to earn at least $1,130 per month due to your back pain, you may qualify.
I am u4`10. My insides are the size of a five year olds and I'm 24. it`s hard for me to work. And I been having kidney surgery since I was very young. would I qualify for ssi or disability? I have doctors note to prove all my surgeries.
Hi Mel,
You may be eligible for benefits based on your condition, it may be a good idea to contact the SSA regarding this to find out if you are. You can do so by contacting your local SSI office, you can find a listing of them here: http://www.disability-benefits-help.org/social-security-disability-loca…
Hi Olga,
If you're entitled to a larger amount based on your spouse's benefits, you may be able to collect that, but not at the same time as your current benefits.

Hi Linda,
For retired persons, you would qualify based on your income and resources rather than a disability.
