You will also need to know the amount of money that you have been making for some time now.

When you have all of this information you can start looking into the various social security benefits that you can get. Your social security benefits are found from the work that you have been doing while you were employed. This has been kept track of by the government and the social services. Based on this information and your retirement age you will be able to draw a certain amount of social security benefits.

Generally social security benefits are paid to certain people. There is the spouse’s benefit program, survivor benefit, disability benefits and retirement benefits. The various social security benefits are paid out only when certain types of criteria are passed. In general you will be able to collect your retirement social security benefits only after you have passed your 65th birthday.

This method involves the use of investing your money wisely in various stock programs. Besides these and your social security benefits you will soon have enough money in your bank account to be able to live well and comfortably. The added benefit is that of being able to get allof the items that you have been dreaming of.

Social Security Disability, Our Governments Way To Break Us And Leave Us For Dead

Do you remember your first paycheck that you ever made?  You were all excited and proud, then you got to looking at it and you saw that there was money taken out and you wondered what it was. As you gazed at it you came across the line that had F.I.C.A.  on it.  You soon came to find out that this was taxes taken out for Social Security.

All through your working life you have paid these FICA taxes, which is supposed to have been set back for your retirement or in case something happened to you and you became disabled.

You never think that anything will happen to you, but, you never know and you may wind up disabled due to some kind of accident or diease. Now what do you do?

To apply for disability you will have to complete and application for Social Security Benefits/and an Adult Disability Report.This report gets information about your disabling condition and how it effects your ability to work. You can do these forms online or call and make an appointment to do them in person or on the phone.

If you are not granted disability benefits the first time then you have to start the appeals process. This could take up to as much as 512 days. In the mean time you are not working and your bills are coming in each month and need to be paid. You see, they don’t care about you situation they are only interested in getting what is owed them.  Now comes the awaited day and you are granted your benefits, you will have to wait 6 months for your first check!  You see there is something that is never told to you about the Governments intentions with the six month waiting periord.  It is during this time periord that OUR alustrious Government is betting on the worse cases to die off before the get there first check.  This way the check upon arrival will have to be sent right back to the Government.  Another reason is that they want you to be completely BROKE when you receive that check, which by the way want be enough to last long enough to pay all your bills.

Now, here is the kicker, our Government every year furnishes immigrants with over $346 BILLION, but can not find an extra nickle for it’s own citizens who have paid in taxes all their working lives with every pay check they received.

Just ONE of the break down of this money is this: A family of four immigrants will receive $36,000 per year. And to think that  my annual salary is just $12,060, does anyone see anything wrong withe this picture?

I called Representative Louis Gohmert’s office to and ask them why the immigrants were given more money and treated better than the citizens were.  Naturally I did not get to talk to Representative Gohmert but, one of his aids told me that he could not answer because he had no idea.  He is sending me some literature so I can read up on this subject to see if my answer is in there. Come on now, giving out $346 Billion dollars, everyone on capital hill should know why that is. It is in my opion that if they can come up with that much money for immigrants that don’t pay taxes, and if they do they pay reduced taxes, then they have no excuse not to increase the citizens of the United States of America their checks to at least last them through the month AFTER paying bills and utilities.  If you break down the $36,000 a year that the immigrants get that comes to $3,000 a month.  Boy, I know that would difinitely help the disabled live a more decent life than is provided them now.
