Been waiting 3 years 3 months now. I’m 58 worked for 35 years. I have nothing left but a bag of my clothes now.
|
||
Hear failure w/2 surgeries, my heart at 30% now, arthritis with 2 knee prosthetists surgery , clinical depression, diabetes, sleep apnea, sleeping disorder, hypertension, high blood pressure and some more and these people still can’t make a decision after 3 years. Jordan my case worker would not pick up the phone or return my phone call ever. I do have a lawyer but he can’t do anything.
|
||
It fills like I’m in a mob movie like in Sopranos.
|
||
Waiting on me to die ! They don’t care ! They don’t treat you like a human !]]></description>

If it was 2 weeks after he passed (may he rest in peace) it seems like social security knew and decided to approve him after they knew he was gone. Which is a sick joke. I am sorry for your loss my dear. This program isn't really designed to help, it's to make people think they matter, but in reality our government doesn't care. At. All.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You both have it wrong. The new rule isn't about determining how much SSDI you earned while working.
|
||
|
||
The new rule determines...
|
||
|
||
"The new rule simplifies step four of the process, which assesses whether a person applying for disability benefits can perform any of their "past relevant work."
|
||
|
||
Please read the articles and press releases patiently and thoroughly. Social Security is here for US!
|
||
|
||
Can you imagine other Countries where people work for 60-70 years and have absolutely nothing to show for it, no SS, Medica Insu, 401K, Nothing and die poor, starving, alone? About 1/2 a billion people around the world, every day.
|
||
|
||
We in the USA are so blessed and lucky, many forget and take it for granted.
|
||
|
||
America Is GREAT! Be Proud and not so quick to judge, not without all the facts.
|
||
|
||
Bless you.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The whole system is diabolical, and unjust.It should be criminal to take money out of one's check as required in some states for ssi and ssdi and force people to except a later retirement age than previously expected, then tell those same people that they can only now claim five years of all the money they have put in the ssi fund...So what happen to all that money for many years that taxpayers paid into...there is a God and this unjust but He will bring his just for this theft.]]></description>

Talk to a disability advocate and go to a Social Security lawyer. They will set up medical for you to prove disability and knock down that so called work list they think you can do. Most of those on the job list don't even have jobs and no,they do not accommodate disabled......]]></description>

I am with you on this! I have worked my heart out for over 40+ years,to the etent itbruioned my health,and am now 50% disabled,with crippling injuries,cancer,and lung disease.I had a very bad accident at work which nearly killed me,and almost paralyzed me.It took 3 years to get some kind of Workmen's comp settlement,where I wastold that paying for the CONSIDERABLE pain(which I STILL suffer from),and suffering,were "off the table".When I went to apply for SSDI this year,I was told "there is a rule that says you are too old to receive it" (I am now 68).Now that I am at an age where my disabilities are worsening like disabilities do at our age, and wilI only get even more severe,like many others out there--I am being told that payment for that,like the workman's comp case,is "OFF THE TABLE"! And when I went to apply for SSI,which I qualify in ALL THREE CATEGORIES for,I was told that "Im make too much income. $1400 a month,on SS. $16,900+ a year.And it's LOWER than others on SDS,because I was born in the "notch" years(1956) between '56 and '59,when SS pays the LEASTThat is ALL the money I have,and can get,since I can no longer work(and can barely do anything at home,either) In TODAYS economy,with inflation upwards of 14-18%,getting the1.3% in COLA means NOTHING. And I am supporting a sibling on that! If I worked a job,I am allowed $19,000+ a year.But NOT when I am on Social Security,which,according to THEIR rules,I can receive BOTH SS and SSI.The reason they DON'T WANT to give people like us aqny more money THAT WE WORKED FOR,because for ONE,the Feds have STOLEN SO MUCH out of SS,then they have FIRED all the good workers during COVID because they wouldn't take a phony vaccine which left fewer workers to put INTO the system,THEN they are printing money like MAD-devaluing it EVEN MORE- to fight a bunch of useless costly wars,and handing money by the BILLIONS to corrupt "leaders"...not counting,of course,all of the tweop-legged night crawlers coming over our borders,who get free cell phones(which they THROW AWAY),free food,transportation,stays in luxury hotels,and services Americans don't even get,or are doled out in meager amounts to US-U.S. CITIZENS who WORKED and PAID and CONTRIBUTED ALL OF OUR LIVES---only to be told,"NO SOUP for YOU! "not enuff money left,sorry". But--PLENTY left to pay a bunch of indigents who created THEIR OWN misery,and sit on their A$$ all day! Yet-people like us are givern the one-finger salute,and told to go on our way.Yeah,I get it.]]></description>
