My mother is going to apply for disbility social security at the age of 60. She retired last year due to illness(heart problems/diabetes) and receives city retirement of 1500/month. Will this affect the amount of social security that she can receive? In other words, if she can qualify for 2000.00/month, will SS lower this amount due to her receiving retirement from her City of Houston job? Thanks for any information~~

The two are independent. If she does not have 30 years worth of coverage by social security, her benefit will be reduced because of the windfall elimination provision. This was designed to eliminate double dipping by workers not covered by social security on their main job (teachers for example). Social security benefits are skewed to provide a better payout to lower income workers. Before the WEP you could work part time to generate a generous social security benefit for the amount of time worked.
