At hics today we had a representative from social security give a talk about it all! How to apply,how much we are eligible for and the difference between ssi and ssdi! I also learned I could create an account online with ssi called my account!Where I can stay updated with the many changes that occur within the system and be able to print out an earnings statement! I've needed to do this bunches of times b4! I've got a hard copy but I've been working on creating digital files 4 all my important documents, that's so much easier if I can remember what I called them :) !I believe I made it an easy system to figure out so if I want my earnings statement I'd just look 4 any ss,ssdi,or income files! I haven't looked yet but I'm sure I knew to make it something I'd understand :)!I think it was said that I would stay on ssdi even when I reach retirement age! That is a great think cause ssi is much more strict than ssdi!With ssdi your allowed to have assets where ssi limits what you can have! I learned too that my income won't ever go down providing the government stays afloat which in recent times they shut down! Hopefully that won't happen again! I don't need to work but just something to feel useful and to fill my days but it must be some kind of job where I use my brain!
I'm a 54 year old man and a survivor of a traumatic brain injury which caused a 3.5 month coma!I beat prostate cancer too :)!
