mamasbabygirl Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Very interesting...I filled out all of the pre-paperwork with patient numbers, address, medical records. I had everything ready for when they called. Basically, they never asked anything about mom's medical condition, but told her that she is NOT eligible for anything for two reasons: 1) You have to have worked 5 out of the tenlast years 2) Because my stepdad's 401k assets are too much. I was shocked that they considered retirement savings income for SSI purposes, but apparently they do. Thanks, Lori Quote
luvmydog2 Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 You have to have worked 5 out of the tenlast years That rule is a "bummer." It hinders alot of people. I know a lady that worked for over 16 years at 18.00 per hour, had a child at 35 years old and quit her job to be a stay at home mom. She was in a car accident and guess what....NO SS. She had not worked 5 of last 10. She had worked 3 of last 10 but not the required 5. Anyway that is the system. Quote
