Depending on your work history, you may be eligible for different kinds of disability benefits. Both SSDI and SSI have different qualifications, so contact a specialist who can help determine your eligibility.
Social Security (SSA) provides income based on work history of at least 10 years, with benefits reduced if taken before full retirement age or if continuing to work. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is for those over 65, blind, or disabled who do not qualify for SSA, providing a minimum standard of living. SSI eligibility depends on income and resources being under $2000/$3000 for a single/couple, excluding home and car, and benefits boost income to $710 per month for those earning less. Planning ahead, such as getting a Social Security statement and working longer, can maximize benefits, and an elder law attorney can help ensure this.
A disabling illness or injury can create a financial burden for individuals and their loved ones. This presentation discusses what options are available if you were to become disabled.
Social Security provides retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivor benefits. The amount received depends on contributions and claiming age. While Social Security was intended as a safety net, most retirees will need to supplement it due to benefits being less than working income. There are many retirement plan types like IRAs, TSAs, Keoghs, annuities, and employer or public plans, each with their own costs and benefits to consider.
This document discusses the role of life insurance in retirement planning. It notes that cash value life insurance can provide benefits if the policyholder dies prematurely, becomes disabled, or lives to retirement. At retirement, the cash value can be a source of income through lump sums, annuities, or withdrawals. It also details how life insurance protects income, grows tax-deferred, and allows flexible access to funds. The document outlines important facts about Social Security benefits and notes that personal savings are needed to bridge the gap between Social Security and other retirement income sources.
This document provides a 3-step guide to disability income protection: 1) Understand the need for income protection given disability statistics, 2) Protect your income through individual disability insurance to supplement employer policies, and 3) Regularly review your disability plan for changes in needs. It emphasizes the importance of disability coverage given the risk of becoming unable to work and the limited alternatives to replace lost income from savings or social security.
The documentary presents a stark picture of the retirement crisis in America, with half of working employees lacking access to a company retirement plan, and of those that do, only a third contributing, and of that group only 11% saving enough. The program blames the shift from defined benefit pensions to defined contribution plans like 401(k)s, though workers always faced retirement risks. Employers need to better educate participants and ensure retirement plans fit needs to help address the crisis.
Can an annuity replace social security(finished)RandyBett
Social Security provides an important income stream for many retirees, but its long term financial viability is in question as revenues do not cover expenditures and benefits are projected to be cut by 25% by 2036. An annuity purchased privately could theoretically replace the lifetime income of Social Security benefits, but the upfront cost of $250,000 for the average retiree's $14,000 annual benefit may not be affordable for many without sufficient savings. Additionally, Social Security offers guarantees and inflation protection that private annuities do not provide. Consulting a financial advisor can help evaluate options for retirement planning given individual savings levels and the uncertainty around future Social Security benefits.

The role of life insurance in retirement planningBill Hurlbut
This document discusses the role of cash value life insurance in retirement planning. It can provide benefits if the policyholder dies, becomes disabled, or lives to retirement. At retirement, the cash value can be a source of income through withdrawals, loans, or converting it into a lifetime annuity. It allows tax-deferred growth and flexible access to funds. Withdrawals and loans reduce the death benefit and cash value.
Life insurance should be viewed through a different lens than other insurance — more specifically, as an asset, instead of an expense. Life insurance can be used to power and protect your family in many ways.
Most people look at the benefits they would receive today when making their decision about when to begin receiving their Social Security. They also underestimate how long they may live unless they already have medical issues that are known to reduce longevity.
These two impulses cause many couples to begin their benefits too early which has an adverse effect for survivor income. When one person dies, the lowest benefit “goes away” and the highest benefit “remains.”
The article below explains how that works with a couple and their Social Security benefits at various ages.
This document provides information about Social Security disability benefits, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It discusses eligibility requirements, benefit amounts, and how earnings may affect benefits through work incentives like Impairment-Related Work Expenses.

Have you factored Social Security benefits into your overall retirement strategy? Roy Kramer, CPA, CDFA, CDS, NSSA, a certified National Social Security Advisor and member, tax services at Brown Smith Wallace, discusses strategies that people often overlook when claiming Social Security benefits.
Divorce can affect a person's Social Security retirement benefits if they were counting on their spouse's benefits. Even if divorced, a person may still collect benefits from their ex-spouse if the marriage lasted 10+ years, they are at least 62 years old, their ex-spouse receives Social Security benefits, and their own benefit is less. The spousal benefit is 50% of the ex-spouse's benefit at full retirement age, but the amount can be affected by when benefits are claimed, earnings, and pension benefits from non-covered work. Remarriage does not impact benefits from an ex-spouse unless the new marriage lasts until the death of the ex-spouse.
Assurant Employee Benefits offers various disability insurance plans, including their most common true group disability plan. Their definition of disability focuses on the inability to perform one material duty of your regular occupation or earn more than 80% of your monthly pay. They strive to approve legitimate claims promptly through their three disability benefit centers. Their plans also include additional benefits and options to support claimants' financial security and return to work.
This document discusses the prevalence and financial impact of disability. Some key points:
- Over 18% of the US population is classified as disabled. A disabling injury occurs every second and a fatal injury every 4 minutes.
- Three in 10 workers will become disabled before retirement. The average long-term disability lasts 2.5 years.
- Disability is a leading cause of bankruptcies and home foreclosures. Most Americans do not have adequate savings to cover lost income from disability.
- Social Security disability benefits and workers' compensation often do not provide full income replacement. Private disability insurance can help cover living expenses if an individual is unable to work due to illness or injury.
The document discusses several options for reforming Social Security in the United States. It outlines proposals to increase payroll taxes, raise or eliminate the taxable earnings maximum, change how benefits are calculated, modify retirement ages, and increase benefits for low-earners. It also discusses changing the cost-of-living adjustment, combining disability and retirement programs, and proposals to partially privatize the system through personal retirement accounts. Advocates and opponents of each approach argue about their potential effects on the long-term solvency of Social Security and retirement security.
This document discusses Social Security filing strategies for married couples. It provides the full retirement ages for those born between 1943 and 1960. It then compares two filing strategies - filing individually at age 62 for reduced lifetime benefits, versus one spouse filing and suspending at full retirement age so the other can receive spousal benefits until age 70, resulting in higher lifetime cumulative benefits. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding all options before deciding on a filing strategy.

Long term care provides assistance for those with chronic conditions and involves services to support daily living for those unable to perform activities of daily living independently. It is most commonly needed for conditions that limit daily functioning or cause cognitive impairments, and can be provided at home, in assisted living/adult day care facilities, or in nursing homes. Long term care insurance helps cover the high costs of long term care and protects retirement savings and assets from being depleted by such expenses.
This document discusses lifestyle planning and factors that can affect one's lifestyle in retirement. It notes that healthcare costs are a top concern for retirees. Common sources of retirement income like Social Security may not keep up with rising healthcare premiums and costs. The document then outlines programs like Medicare and Medicaid that help cover healthcare costs. It emphasizes the importance of planning and limiting taxes to afford healthcare in retirement, as taxes can reduce one's standard of living. Various strategies are presented to reduce taxes and leverage resources like long-term care insurance that can help cover costs and keep income from being taxed.
This document summarizes information about Settlers Life Insurance Company, including its history, financial strength, and the life insurance policies it offers. Settlers Life has been in business since 1933 and has over $400 million in assets. It has an A- rating from A.M. Best, indicating an excellent ability to meet obligations. The company focuses on paying claims, having paid over $323 million in claims since 2000. It offers whole life insurance policies for up to $50,000 that provide coverage from ages 15 days to 85 years with premiums that will never increase and coverage that will never decrease.
The City Council agenda memorandum recommends approving the renewal of contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield for employee health insurance at a 3.5% increase, MetLife for dental insurance at 0% increase, and Davis Vision for vision insurance. The renewal would save the city approximately $69,907 for medical coverage costs while maintaining quality affordable benefits for employees.

In preparation for your hearing before an administrative law judge, you should understand how the administrative law judge will decide whether you are disabled. Disability determination has very little to do with the real world of work. The judge will consider only whether you are capable of
doing a job. You will need to prove: Your medical impairments prevent you from performing any significant job you’ve done in the past 15 years and There aren’t many other jobs you are capable of doing considering your age, education and work experience.

8 Mistakes to avoid when testifying at your disability hearingJames Publishing
This document provides advice on what to avoid when testifying at a Social Security disability benefits hearing. It recommends:
1) Do not argue your case or draw conclusions for the judge - leave arguing to your lawyer and let the judge draw their own conclusions.
2) Do not compare your case to others or try to play on the judge's sympathy by discussing your financial situation.
3) Do not try to demonstrate how virtuous you are or tell the judge how honest you are, as benefits are awarded based on disability alone.
4) Do not engage in dramatics or give irrelevant testimony about being unable to get work or economic conditions. Stick to the facts of your medical symptoms and limitations.
Settlement, trial, and appeal a few key facts every plaintiff should knowJames Publishing
As you begin your personal injury case, here are some basic facts about settlement offers, trial, post-trial motions, and appeals that you should understand. Your attorney cannot settle your case unless you approve and consent. By the same token, the defendant also has a right to a trial, and your attorney cannot force the defendant to settle the case. If your case cannot be settled, it will have to be tried. Most of the time, the trial will be before a jury. If you testify, you will be asked to tell the judge and jury what you know. If you win your case, the defendant can either pay the verdict or file a motion for a new trial. If you lose, you have the same choice: to accept the verdict or to challenge it by making a motion for a new trial. The trial judge may decide to give the losing side (whether you or the defendant) a new trial if the first trial was not fair.

The Social Security Administration announced a 1.7% cost-of-living adjustment for 2013 benefits, one of the lowest increases since 1975. This will increase the average monthly retirement benefit from $1,240 to $1,261. The maximum taxable earnings also increased slightly. Involving an attorney early in the disability claims process can improve chances of approval, as initial claims have around a 63% denial rate. Common medical conditions like musculoskeletal disorders and mental illnesses are most likely to be awarded disability benefits.
The document discusses alternatives to long-term care insurance (LTCI) for covering long-term care costs, including self-insuring using personal savings and income, using life insurance policies that allow access to death benefits for long-term care costs, and applying for Medicaid assistance. It notes that while LTCI provides dedicated coverage for long-term care, it can be expensive with a risk of paying premiums without ever needing the insurance. The alternatives aim to use existing assets like life insurance or qualify for government aid through Medicaid to help pay for long-term care.

6 Critical Social Security Facts Retirees Must KnowBravias Financial
If you are like most Americans, Social Security
may provide a significant portion of your income
in retirement. According to Social Security
Administration (SSA) statistics, Social Security
benefits account for about 36 percent of retirement
income for the average American.1 One of the
biggest mistakes today’s retirees can make is to
underestimate the importance of Social Security in
their retirement strategies. In an era of vanishing
pensions and volatile markets, Social Security offers
government guaranteed income that isn’t vulnerable
to market risk, can’t be outlived, and can provide for
your loved ones after your death.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

What's the Difference Between SSDI and SSI? | Myler Disability
1.
2. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are both
federal programs that provide cash payments to
people who meet qualifications to be considered
“disabled”.
3. SSI
Supplemental Security Income is a type of welfare
benefit for those who have either not worked in
their lives or have not worked for 5 out of the last
10 years
4. To get SSI, you will have to prove that you are
disabled, or that you won’t be able to work for
at least the next 12 months. You also can’t have
more than $2,000 in liquid assets ($3,000 for
couples).
5. Whether or not you qualify will be based on the
income of the entire household, not just your
income, so if your household income exceeds the
SGA limits you are unlikely to qualify.
6. SSDI
Social Security Disability Insurance is available to
those who have worked for approximately 5 full
years out of the last 10. It is an insurance benefit,
not welfare. Net worth and most household
income will not disqualify you from receiving
these benefits.
7. What’s the difference?
Slide 7 – What’s the difference?
The main difference between SSDI and SSI
is that SSDI is available to workers who have
accumulated a sufficient number of work credits,
while SSI disability benefits are available to low-
income individuals who have either never worked
or who haven’t earned enough work credits to
qualify for SSDI.
8. Can I get both?
You may qualify for both SSI and SSDI if you meet
the low-income requirements and have paid into
Social Security. 2.2 million people receive both SSI
and SSDI.
