I run off SSDI Myself it is your full SS Retirement check if you were filed after age 65 or so. (Smaller if you filed at 62 and about 30% bigger if you hold off until about 68 or so give or take a year for Full Retirement Filing.
here's some of what the online letter says..
"Beginning March 2021, the full SS benefit before any deduction's is.......XXXXX"
so, since the judges hammer came down on my claim in March of 2021, i'm only assuming that they (SS) put me onto regular SS now?
it can't really matter, i am on Medicare, and they deduct that money monthly automatically.
then, further down the letter, it says....
"we found that you became disabled under our rules on April 10, 2014"...
(the date of my injury)
now, here is what some of the letter says, that they snail mailed me...
"We do not reduce your monthly SS benefits once your worker's comp payments stop. We changed your monthly benefit to the full rate of $xxxxxx"
"we will continue to deduct the Medicare Part B (medical insurance) premium of $XXX from your payments."
never once in the letter, sent to me by snail mail, do they mention disability.....
so again, i'm "assuming" they just switched me over to full SS now, rather than at 66 yrs of age, knowing that i cannot return to work..??
as i had mentioned, if this is so, then i will want to "seek out" some sort of part-time employment, cuz i have been going stir crazy staying at home. i need another distraction from looking at this old house, and the repairs that need to be done....
it's a "honey do list" that never ends........
if i remain on the disability status, then seeking work can make them (SS) pull away my benefits, since i am able to go back to work......(even part time, as the disability lawyer told me years ago)
do you guys "see" what i am saying?
i'm going to call the SS disability lawyer, first, see if he can see me in his office, and show him both letters, and advise me what to do next.
