Eligible for SSI after surgery when already recieving disability?

Joseph's answer might be correct regarding short-term disability and the Family Medical Leave Act - I wouldn't know. But I do know that when it comes to SSI and Social Security disability he doesn't know what he is talking about. SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is the federal welfare program and if his social security benefit is over $717 a month then he would be ineligible for SSI. If his benefit is less and his wife has no income then he would be eligible for a reduced SSI benefit during the period of time she isn't working and receiving an income. The maximum SSI benefit is $698 and it would be reduced by the amount of his SSDI benefit. SSI is only payable to the disabled individual; it is NOT paid to spouses and children. If his children are receiving a monthly benefit and they are not disabled what they are getting is what is called a disability auxiliary benefit. When a person is entitled to SSDI their children can be entitled to social security children's benefits. The children could only be entitled to SSI if they themselves are disabled. His first possible month of entitlement to SSI would be the first month in which his wife has no income. Since benefits to SSI are not payable before the month in which the claim is filed he would have to file his SSI claim the first month she has no income and he would not be able to file in advance of that month. REREAD PARAGRAPH TWO WHICH ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. If his SSDI is greater than $717 he and his family cannot receive any additional income from the Social Security Administration. If it is less than $718 he, and only he, is entitled to SSI which would be reduced by the amount of the SSDI benefit.

the wife is not disabled..so she doesn't get SSI you don't get SSI ON TOP of SSDI...only possibly a small supplement if his SSDi is less than 717, HE might be entitled to a small amount of SSI to bring it up to that amount..........the family has to be low income and low resource (only 1 car, no valuables that can be converted into cash, no bank accounts, cash worth more than $2000 if the husband is on SSDI, there might be a dependent benefit for the wife.. the children are probably receiving SSDI dependent benefits they only get SSI if they are disabled themselves also, if the man is eligible for a home care aid through medicaid---he may be able to hire the wife as the care giver.. but they have to have limited resources---for example--if they own a home, medicaid would charge the services against the value of the home fyi the 1st answer is completely bizarre and devoid of fact fmla is 12 weeks for ssi you don't need any work credits and i have no idea where the 30 hours comes from

SSI applies to people on severe part time. Short Term Disability applies for temporarily out of work then returning a few weeks later. Family Medical Leave Act applies for a long term out of work up to 18 weeks or less. SSI can only be obtained if you work 30 hours and under a program that funds your part time secondary.

No their is no short term SSI benefits for any family or situation. Maybe they could have a family member stay with them to help take care of the children as the husband recuperates. Since the wife works they live on more money then $1000 a month, the kids are receiving child benefits off their fathers record. Not SSI

when you say the young man is on disability do you mean his is on SSDI or some form of private disability from his employer? if he is on employer disability is he on STD (Short-Term Disability) or LTD (Long-Term Disability) are you saying that his current disability income is SSI? and are you sure it is SSI & not SSDI? If he is on SSDI, I don't think his benefit will change, unless his SSDI is so low that it is (or can be) supplemented by SSI It would seem logical to me that if he is currently on SSI, and the household income decreases, then his SSI could increase while the wife is not working. It will still be limited to only what SSI pays
