<<I also had short term disability then long term. Long term disablity ended
when I started receiving Social Security. The amount you get for Social
Security depends on how long you had worked and paid into it. I was only 21
and that was the first and only job I had ever had. I had only worked 1 1/2
years and had not worked long enough to qualify for SSI. I was only able to
get SSI because I was under 22 at the time and collect under surviors
benifits under my father who is deceed. >>

Jim,

This is what totally confuses me!

I'm under the impression that I receive "Social Security Disability
Benefits." Would that be correct.

I know that I do not qualify for SSI.

I was also told by a friend that once I turned 50, I could collect under my
husband's Social Security. I don't see how that could be correct......he is
alive!

Any ideas, anyone??
