Does Disability benefit amount change state to state.?

Social Security is a federal program so your benefit amount will not change. However, if for some reason you receive Medicaid in addition to Medicare, the quality and standards could be different.  Also consider cost of living (your check may stretch farther in some areas) and access and quality of support services.  I have heard horror stories from out of state clients about their former support services and they think I'm a hero for returning their phone calls!

They will take everything you get back if the support amount you owe is equal to or higher than you amount you are expecting  on your return.  It might be different in every state, that I'm not sure about.

It depends how much you've worked prior to making a disability claim. In some cases, a state will only pay an individual about $600.00 a month and you could make more than that working at McDonalds. You wouldn't even be able to pay rent in a decent apartment in a lot of localities. What you might try doing is just try to work that way and maybe your employer will set up a company package that can help you pay bills and things when they feel you can no longer be able to work.

No. Workmen compensation claim paid amount wont get affected if the person gets disability. Only when the person is found not eligible for getting compensation, then only he has to repay. If the person is not repaying, then the insurance company will sue against him

It will vary by state.  What state are you in?

It depends on what state you're in.

Yes, AND since you say you are collecting SS benefits, you also have to report your earnings for which your benefits will be reduced.  It's through a certain age, things have gotten complicated since Congress has tried to "fix" SS.

It all depends on your actual case.  Nature and severity of the disability, how and when it occurred, current income/previous income, ability to work, long term care requirements, medical need family etc etc.  Each case is assessed individually according to the specific needs and situation of the person concerned.  If you're looking for state benefits then just apply but if it's a legal compensation thing then you have to go over all this with your legal representative.

Once she moves out of state, she is required to enroll in her new state's Medicaid (same as MediCal) program. She should do this as soon as possible before she is required to pay back the state for benefits recieved as a resident in another state! By the way, she paid into SSI which is the Social Security Income which is in no way tied to California only.

Sorry, but no.  You would have to have mortgage insurance on your home that includes disability.  If you are concerned that you may become disabled you need to contact your mortgage company and/or your insurance agent for information.  If you are currently disabled purchasing this coverage now  would not cover you after the fact.  \n\nIt would be a good idea to contact your mortgage company to find out what coverages you currently have.  Sometimes we forget what we do have.  I purchased my home about 8 years ago and I had to check my loan paperwork to double check coverages.  Good luck.

It can take 2 to 4 months for the decision.  I had my hearing in early July got an answer in late September which was favorable to me  I collected some, SSI starting in late October and received my first actual Social Security Check on March 3rd this year.  I still have not heard about back pay.  My disability goes back to and is approved for back to January, 2002.  It is a long drawn out process.  If you have a lawyer involved the Social Security Office will not give you any information only the attorney and my attorney said he has had cases where the decision took one day less than a full year.  I waited 16 months for my hearing so I understand the waiting process can wear on you.  However be forewarned that even with a fully favorable decision it will take you some time to start receiving payments.  The best of luck to you and I hope that they have streamlined the process some in the past few months, however I have just given you an honest time frame of my case.  By the way once you get a favorable decision go to your Social Security Office and get them started giving you some SSI, it helps a lot when you have been waiting and it will come out of your lump sum settlement from Social Security.  Believe me I was glad to have that as an option.

I can't tell you much except sympathize with your situation, and tell you from personal experience that whether social security grants or refuses your claim has nothing to do with your condition.  They twice refused my husbands claim when he was diabetic, had two heart conditions, a half dozen other problems, and within a year was declared 140% disabled by the V.A.  They want you to hire a lawyer, and assign up to a third of your benefits pending to him.  I believe it is crooked as can be.  I knew people with arthritis and little else to agree to the lawyer rip off and get S.S. about the same time.  All I can tell you is they will answer for it.  Cold comfort when you're broke and hurting, isn't it.  Try a Church for immediate help, and probably better agree to their rip off.  You usually get it when you do.

They don't calculate it based on what you make.  I think the max amount is $206/week.  It depends on what you earned one year ago, whether or not you will receive the full benefit.  It ain't much, but it's better than nothin'!

Sorry to tell you this, I dont agree with it, but this is the way it works. If you file your VA claim within 1 year of discharge, they will give you back pay to the date of dicharge. If it is more than 1 year before you file for disability, then your pay starts from the date that the VA grants you benifits.  I dont know why they do that but that is how it is set up

If you are on regular disability (SSD) you will not lose benefits. If you are on SSI it may very well change because they will count your new husbands income as yours. I am on SSD and SSI and when I was married 3 years ago I found this out. I did not lose mine because my husband does not make enough for me to lose it. But I am real close if he ever gets a better job. I would talk to Social Security about this.
