Xtragr8ful's question

 in response to smeenatchu...   whoever you are, you keep changing your name as mine stays the same at every site. Yes, I have now gotten my third grandson who many people online do know about. Mind your own business and sounds like you need alife of your own. Why does your name change at each site?
Why do you follow me from site to site are you jealous or just that bored with your own life. My life is nothing to be jealous of believe me. lol Yes, I admit I do beg, I do it out of love. Please get a life dear.

I am sorry for not replying sooner! apparently I am way behind.. In answer to your question..

There is a difference between SSI and SSD -

SSI disability benefits are payable to adults or children who are disabled or blind, have limited income and resources, meet the living arrangement requirements, and are otherwise eligible.  The monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the State or decreased by countable income and resources.

SSD - is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons.  To be eligible for a Social Security benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable work to be "insured" for Social Security purposes.  Disability benefits are payable to blind or disabled workers, widow(er)s, or adults disabled since childhood, who are otherwise eligible.  The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker.

SSD - does pay dependent benefits

SSI - does NOT

However, SSI can be supplemented by the State or federal government - in your case, you live in GA and may be able to receive a supplement from the state of georgia

unless the children are determined to be disabled, do not quailify for dependent benefits.

However, if you are receiving SSD benefits, then the situation changes.

I hope this helps... your case worker should be able to answer any questions you have more indepth - there is a ton of information online at SSA.gov as well...

 in response to xtragr8ful...   I have to eat cereal and sandwhiches, pizza to hold me up as there is nothing there and you can fell my rib cage..My metabolism is fast on bread. When my nose gets cold in the winter I will sneeze. I am waiting to see if the group that helped with Sunny will help with the new cat. just went to open the door Amanda and it wouldn't open - I can't go out to work no car etc. it costmoney to care for a new cat verses one that has shots and neurted...thank you

 in response to Starshine...   Can you afford not to? Okay now you have me stumped LOL... if you don't eat you sneeze? what is that about? Allergies? A drink sounds great! Wish I could but they give me a migraine :P Enjoy your dinner.

Hi thank you for your words about pet being put to rest .. thinking of 8 week old or 13 month but can i afford it..?? hugs need to eat or I will sneeze.. This is confusing the new way of doing things I want a drink lol

 in response to whoknew...   Hi whoknew, Thanks for taking the time to write me. I already receive SSI, but they never said anything about receiving for my children? Have you personally heard of that? Have a good day and thanks for comment on picture!
Blessings~

I love your profile picture - that child sleeping so peacefully in your arms is so precious!

Have you applied for SS disability?You should receive a check for your children as well.... I am trying to think of what else you would qualify for, but I am really drawing a blank... (long day)  - I'm so sorry.. I will have to give this some research and get back to you...

 in response to caroljc...   Whoa, slow down there, relax! LOL. I am not trying to kid anyone... don't have to. Who are you trying to kid? One day you're on here asking for charity yourself, the next you are putting people down with that nasty mouth who need help.

You poor bitter woman... Why would I waste my time trying to kid anyone? I do not see the relevancy between that the people you spoke of and myself. I have worked all my life up to the point in time of becoming ill and disabled. Yes, many do abuse the system! I still assert Georgia does not help its needy in the same capacity Michigan does. I am sorry if that upsets you but truth is truth!

Does your bible only speak of bastards, and nothing of charity or compassion? Did your bible not tell you it is wrong to judge? Ma’am, why are you visiting Aidpage ? This is a place for people who need people. I wonder, do you come to hassle the people who are in need or to wallow in others misery? This site is here for those who need help! It is not to be used to chastise or harass. I am sure there are other websites for people like you to "blow off steam" and talk about folks, without doing it here. That is not what this site was developed for. I feel sorry that you have nothing better to do in your life.

I can only hope your life becomes fuller, so you will not need to comment and try to put people who are less fortunate than yourself down.

 in response to xtragr8ful...   You have that right. Thank you for the reminder..

Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet  is  fighting some sort of battle!
