AM ON SSI I WILL BE 62 IN JUNE I AM ALSO 30%SC WHAT

ARE THE OPTIONS AT 62 CAN YOU RETIRE FOR YOUR SSA

STILL GET SSI AND SC OR WILL SSI NOT BE APPLICABLE ANY MORE

I think you would want to stay on SSI. If you get SSI you can get medicade, food stamps, section 8 etc. SSA you get medicare when you reach 65. You are better off on SSI because of other benefits. You can't get SSI and SSA at the same time.

what if i decide to take retirement as my ssi has gone down to only $100 a month

with the 30% and my wife working,can i still file for my (sc) conditions and or will

they say he has given up and retired ,doesnt plan on working any more.

will it make it harder to win my (sc) claims?

The SSI isn't taxable. Did it get reduced and they put you on SS because you hit 62? The SSI has no effect on the SC. I drew the SSI and 100% for a few years.

Ended up SS was mailing me leters after I retired from Fed teling me I didn't have 40 quarters then at 62 they tell me i can get SS, rules diferent cause I was on SSI. ausgmblr
