Rules About Social Security

 Rules about social security is what I want to talk about here. So, when you become disabled, if it is under age 22, with no disability credits, you get SSI. But becuase of that special rule, you may not always be on it. You might get more income from when your mom and dad retires.

If they both retire, you will get a percentage of the highest paying record, but not both. As long as they have it, you will have it too. If you have siblings on SSI, the percentage is subdivded.

As long as you have less than the standard SSI amount, you will get SSI, and have to follow their rules. However, if you have more than that, you will be stripped of SSI, and it will follow same rules as SSDI. If a parent passes away, you might get more.

What is this income called? Sometimes CDB, sometimes ADB, sometimes Adult Disabled Benefits (by it's full name), sometimes SSDI, sometimes Social Security. It has no uniform term.

At least during the pandemic, you will be able to keep medicaid when switching, and they will automatically reapply for you. That's right! Upon the switch, they will do a full disabillity review. You will also have to reapply for foodstamps. We're talking about washington state by the way.
