Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

Hi there!

So I've been on disability for about 6 years now, with my payments around the 500$ mark. It's not easy living on that much, but I've made it work and been grateful for the help. Yet today, a friend received her decision to receive disability, and she's been awarded over 1,000$, more than double my own amount. I had no idea payments could go so high. I can't help but wonder how this works now, and if it's possible to get my own payments raised.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

Friends told me that if my father passed away then my ssdi will increase? I understand he worked many years than me.

True?

I am on ssdi. My monthly check is $827. Originally it was like $797 when it started. My 4 dependant children received a check for $47 each as my family benefit. A few years later my husband became disabled. As of today, bc I can't remember what he started off at 3 yrs ago. His check is around $875-900. From the start each of our 2 children received over $400 & now currently $ 453 each per month.

Does anybody know whether that SSI back pay comes on a certain day of the month? I got my first installment the same week I was approved for SSI it came on the same day I got my first benefit. But I should receive one in January and I'm trying to figure out when I will see it? If anyone has any experience with receiving them in would love to hear about it!

I have been fighting for ssd for 8 years I finally won the case in july. my kids received their money even my lawyer got his it is about to be christmas and i have to pay bills . I would like to know if there is a time limit when you are suppose to get your retro money back

Hello, had a quick question and cannot seems to find the answer anywhere. My Mother recieves SS early retirement at the age of 63 but has had some medical problems that I know would make her eligible for SS disability benefits. I just want to know what the procedure would be to go about to change it. Does she have to go down to the office and refile?

I am 61 and permanently disabled on SSDI. When I become eligible for SSI will the amount I receive be different from the amount of my SSDI checks?

Hello there, I've been dating someone on SSDI for nearly a year, and we are discussing our future. I assume that his SSDI is auxiliary from his parents, so he's been told that he will lose benefits (income and insurance) if he gets married. This is not a huge concern for the duration of marriage, as he could be on my benefits. HOWEVER, the concern is if we would ever end up divorced, could he get back on SSDI from his folks? Does he have to pay back anything he's collected in the years before I knew him? How long would it take to get benefits reinstated?

I have full legal and physical custody of my granddaughter, and have since she was 2 months old. She is now 8 years old. I just got approved for SSDI. Will she receive benefits also?

My estimated benefit amount was $1,056. when I applied, but people have been telling me I'm probably going to get around $2,000.
