<description><![CDATA[I think a large problem with SSI or SSDI is yall require those forced on the programs spend any savings they may have before they can receive their benefits. Those savings could be used later when needed such as buying a house or in an emergency. But no your solution is to force the person down to poverty and to stay in poverty as fast as possible with no way out! If the person wants to go back to work they have no way to go back to work! If the person has been on any of these programs for a long period of time how the hell are they supposed to go back to work? Pull the money out of their ass and buy a car for work? Maybe use credit to buy a car but what if they find out they cant work. They only make it 3-4 months during their trial period. Then they are stuck with something they cant use plus a large debt!]]></description>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Hi, Misty. Thanks for reading our blog and for your question. If you have low income and limited resources, you may be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in addition to monthly Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits. SSI is a needs-based program that provides payments to people with limited income and resources who are age 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability. To be eligible for SSI and SSDI – commonly referred to as “concurrent” benefits - your SSDI must be less than $963 in 2024 (the SSI monthly Federal payment amount plus $20). You can find more information on eligibility requirements for SSI and how to apply at <span style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi"><span style="line-height: 107%; color: #990000; letter-spacing: 0.15pt; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">Supplemental Security Income (SSI) | SSA</span></a></span><span style="line-height: 107%; color: #212121; letter-spacing: 0.15pt; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">.</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> We hope this information is helpful.</span></span></p>]]></description>

Hi, Katherine. Thanks for reading our blog and for your question. For your mother’s security, we do not have access to her private information in this venue. The 2024 Medicare Part B premium is $174.70 per month. The payment your mother received may be reimbursement for her premium because she has both Medicaid and Medicare. Our notices are sent by mail through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). If your mother hasn’t received a notice with an explanation of the recent payment she received and you still have questions, she can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., or contact her local <a href="http://www.ssa.gov/locator" rel="nofollow ugc">Social Security office</a>. If your mother needs help managing her benefits, you may want to apply to become her representative payee. For more information, visit our <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/payee/faqrep.htm" rel="nofollow ugc">Representative Payee</a> page. We hope this helps. ]]></description>
