What is the amount allowed per year for working and drawing ssi?

That is a more complicated question than you can imagine.\n\nIt depends on multiple factors. \n\n1. have you reached normal retirement age? If not, the amount you can earn is less than if you have.\n\n2. you do not loose all of you SSI, if you earn money. Only a percentage.\n\nTo make a long story short, if you have reached normal retirement age, your benefits will not be reduced. If you have not, then are are limits and your benefits are reduced above a limit of $12,480 in an amount of $1 for each $2 you earn above the minimum. \n\nBut!! There is also the question of income taxes to consider. You must pay income taxes on your SS benefit, if your income is above a certain amount. I believe the amount was $44,000 in 2005 for a married couple. That include income normally tax exempt. \n\nThat is the story as I understand it. The government has a habit of making the rules almost totally incomprehensible.

This will probably disqualify you from SSI.  Outside of your home and one vehicle, there are limits on the amount of assets you can have to be eligible for SSI.  If the insurance settlement was over $2000, your SSI payments will probably be suspended until the amount left drops below $2000.  Talk to your case worker about this, because if they find out later, you will have to repay any unqualified SSI payments anyway.

I understand your concern, I reach full retirement age in November of this year, but with limits I can still make a significant income.  Between my wife and I we can do quite well.\n\nIt is the new medical programs that are interesting.\n\n\n\nUnder federal law, people who are receiving Social Security benefits who have not reached full retirement age are entitled to receive all of their benefits as long as their earnings are under the limits indicated below. In 2006, the full retirement age is 65 and 8 months. The full retirement age will increase gradually each year until it reaches age 67 for people born in 1960 or later.\n\nAt full retirement age or older\n2005\nNo limit on earnings\n2006\nNo limit on earnings\n\nUnder full retirement age\n2005\n$12,000 / For every $2 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits.\n\nIn the year you reach full retirement age \n2005\n$31,080 / For every $3 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits until the month you reach full retirement age.\n2006\n$33,240 / For every $3 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits until the month you reach full retirement age..

Under the Social Security Act there is a program called the Ticket to Work Program.  As a Social Security beneficiary, you have probably heard of it.  Under the Ticket To Work program, there is another program that is a freedom to work program.  If an SS beneficiary can work at least 1 hour a month doing ANY legitimate employment, they can earn above the limits and still receive their SSI benefits including medical.  However, as you earn more, your SSI check would be reduced by 50% of your earnings. But you would have earnings to replace any lost benefit.  \nWith a back problem I am guessing that sitting and standing for any length of time is out of the question right?  Are you working with a Vocational Rehab counselor?  They should know about this program and could help you find a part time job that will accommodate your disability.  \nIn any case, you can go to www.ssa.gov and look at the Ticket To Work Program.  Click on the Benefits, Planning, Assistance & Outreach (BPAO) program for your state.  They have Social Security trained benefits specialists that can help you evaluate your situation and see if the Freedom to Work program will work for you.\nBest of luck to you.

It varies depending on your case, family size, and how much had previously been paid into SS prior to your disability.\n\nLook here for more info:\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/disability/

Since he is on disability, you can only draw on his record if you have a child under the age of 16 AND if you do not earn over a certain amount per month.\n\nOnce you reach regular retirement age, you can draw regular social security based on whichever will give you a greater benefit, your's or his.

Yes, you can continue to get SSI and SSDI if you work. If you earn less than $860 a month your benefits will continue, but they will reduce the amount they pay you based on how much you earn. I believe that the formula is the amount you earn in a month minus $85, then divide that by 2 and that is the amount they will subtract from you check. When you are going through the rehabilitation training they do not pay you or reduce your benefits until you actually are hired by a company. Also, they will not give you a job, they will help you find one.

I think it depends on what you are receiving it for. For instance my sister gets SSI for a disability...to supplement. I think it is a either/or for her. You need to check with your provider for the details. Be sure on this question. Not to say that you may not find it on Yahoo Answers...but I would call and talk to them my self if I were you.  Since you are only 15...you will have to have you parent or guardian do it for you.

Yes you can. If you can not return to your usual occupation because of a disabilty but can perform another occupation in your current state you are allowed.  But you must notify the Social Security Adminstration.  An Example,  A construction worker has a heart attack and can no longer lift objects over 10 pounds, therefore he can't o his job.  But he can answer phones or be a cashier. The SSA will pay the difference of what you were making and what you are now making.\n\nEx.   Made 1,000 a week in construction, now as a cashier you make 300$ a week, they will send you a check for 700$ a week. Get it?  Talk to your lawyer about it and see what the exact medical restrictions you have. If the government either see's you working somewhere else and you don't tell them you can be arrested for fraud.

It depends on where you live and what field you work in. It's usually between 25-56 a year. But that can depend on lots of different factors.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are never taxable.  However, OASDI (regardless if it is age related or disability related) is potentially taxable income.  You don't have to do an amended return.  Instead, figure out how much of the benefit would have been taxable income in each of the earlier years, then add it all together for the current year.\n\nFor example, say you got $5,000 for each year 2004, 2005, and 2006.  You go back to your 2004 tax return and find out that 85% of the payment would have been taxable.  For 2005, you find out that 50% would be taxable.  And, for 2006 you find out that 0% is taxable.  So, in 2006, you would enter $15,000 in box 20a "Social Security Benefits" and you would enter $6,750 in box 20b "Taxable amount".\n\nIt is best to see a tax professional to do this because it can be a little confusing figuring out how to calculate the percentage.\n\nHope this answer helped.  :)

no they can't touch your SSI check. but if you have it in your checking account then they can take it that way. just use a check cashing place.

Call the social security office and ask them. Amy other answer you get here would just be opinion.

The Social Security office could help you with this question much more than the "public at large" can help you.  SS has strict guidlines about people who work after retiring, all according to the age of retirement.

Not necessarily - there is an exclusion of $250,000 for single and $500,000 married filing jointly, assuming that you meet certain tests regarding use and occupancy. See the publication linked below.
