  • I took 5 years off from working full-time to raise my child.


  • I have been of the belief that Social Security benefits are determined by taking the average income of all the years of employment.


  • My wife retired nine years ago at age 62. She has since become disabled. Can she file for disability benefits? If so, how does she go about it?


  • I get $13,000 a year Social Security Disability and have zero wages or income.


  • Is there a way to figure Social Security benefits if one doesn’t work until “normal” retirement age?


  • Can I receive benefits on my former husband’s record, even though he is still working?


  • I am in my early 20s and on Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid because I have been sick since I was 12. Now I am thinking about getting married


  • Is a person receiving Social Security Disability also entitled to receive half of the husband’s Social Security retirement? Do a disabled husband and wife have to pay federal or state tax?


  • Both of my parents won their disability hearings with social security. My dad filed for benefits a year before my mom did. He was awarded the maximum benefits allowed.


  • A family member is 18, a senior in high school, with a learning disability. We’ve been encouraged to apply for SSI, but there are financial assets in this person’s name.
