disability?

Question

whats the difference between s.s. and disability checks

Answer 1

Once you reach a certain age, you can begin receiving ss funding which you have paid into all these years. Everyone is eligible after a certain age.

Disability is a program of social security that is offered to anyone who has a qualifying disability that keeps them from working or being able to support themself.

Answer 2

Social Security checks are baiscally for retired citizens. It's based on their employment earnings throughout their lifetime. You should be getting annual statements in the mail as to what your retirement benefits "should" be.

To add to the confusion there are also SSI and Social Securtiy Disability Checks. The difference between these boils down to work history. Those who are found to be disabled and have earned enough quarters through employment receive Social Secuirty Disability checks (regardless of age). If one does not have enough employment credits in and is found to be disabled, that person will receive SSI checks. SSI and Medicaid go hand in hand. With DIB, Medicare is the medical coverage. I believe this is the same with the Social Security retirement.

Answer 3

social security income is money you receive after you retire, social security disability income is if you are, according to their standards, disabled, and not able to work full time or not at all.
