Amit Mehta asked:


People who are gainfully employed have Social Security records. Through tax deducted from your monthly payroll, you make a contribution to a social insurance program, forming the basis of these documents. These records contain your Social Security number as well as other relevant information such as your full name, date of birth, contact numbers, dependents, and others.

Social Security documents enable you to obtain benefits for three major instances. The first is for disability, where you are temporarily or permanently unable to return to work because you became physically or mentally impaired. The second area for claiming benefits is for retirement from employment. The third and final incidence would be for death, wherein your dependents will be able to make a claim.

The Importance of Social Security Records

Familiarity with your own Social Security documents is crucial for the obvious reason that you are mandated by law to make contributions to the government through salary deductions. And the way to maximize these contributions is by becoming aware of the benefits that you are entitled to at any time in your work life.

For instance, your retirement age is dependent on the year that you were born and if you retire earlier than the required age, then you will get a smaller benefit package. The reverse is also true since if you delay retirement, then you will be entitled to a much larger benefit package.

In recent years, Social Security documents have had to be placed under tighter control and protection because of incidents of identity theft and fraud. Some people acquire the records of other people so that they can claim benefits that are not rightfully theirs. Indeed, there have been many instances where people diligently make their contributions only to find out that somebody else has robbed them of their benefits.

A worse scenario is when one’s records have been used by others to open bank accounts and obtain credit cards. In this case, the unwitting victim is accumulating debt and his credit record is being tarnished by others. All of these point to one thing – it is important that you regularly get a copy of your Social Security documents so that you can monitor your records and report any false entries immediately.

So how do you access your records?

Your Social Security records can easily be asked for online. You can apply for your benefits online too in addition to being able to update your records, and block access of your information to others. It is undeniably cheaper, faster and more efficient to transact online. Another advantage of accessing these online documents is that they are ideal for people who are disabled or incapacitated and cannot go to a nearby Social Security office.

Your Social Security information is one of the most important records you have so use it and protect it wisely.

Mary Jean Kuda asked:


Social Security has been one of the country’s most successful programs. It aids people from financial uncertainty especially in their trying times.

The program provides several protections such as:

•    progressive benefit formula

•    comprehensive insurance benefits that include disability

•    survivors and retirement benefits

•    spouses’ benefits

•    a cost of living adjustment

•    coverage until death

These protections will be placed at risk if fraud related claims continue to spoil Social Security.

Identity theft using the Social Security numbers (SSNs) is one of the common Social Security frauds that have been weakening the program.

History on the Use of Social Security Numbers

SSNs were first issued in 1936. The federal government assured the public that the use of the numbers would be restricted to Social Security programs such as calculating retirement benefits.

Today, however, SSN has become the de facto general identifier.

Government agencies and private businesses use SSNs even for a wide range of non-Social Security purposes. These purposes include:

•    employee files

•    medical records

•    health insurance accounts

•    credit and banking accounts,

•    university ID cards

•    utility accounts

The use of SSNs as both an identifier and an authenticator makes these numbers highly desirable to fraudulent acts, such as identity theft.

Social Security Fraud by Using SSN

Identity fraud is not all about money. The persistent use of SSNs as an identification mechanism gives the thieves many options.

Identity thieves seek SSNs so they can use these numbers to assume the identity of another person and commit fraud.

A thief can fraudulently use your SSN to assume your identity and gain access not only to your Social Security information but also to your bank accounts, credit accounts, utilities records, and other sources of personal information.

They can also establish new credit and bank accounts in your name, use your SSN for employment purposes or obtain medical care.

How to Prevent Identity Theft

Official efforts are under way to restrict use of SSNs. For instance, the Social Security Administration shortens SSNs on the benefit statements it mails each year.

While essential information can be acquired in credit card, bank accounts and other documents, SSNs are the most common way of getting personal information.

In California, for instance, a birth certificate (or many other types of documents) and a valid SSN are required to get driver’s license or identification card.

The following steps are essential in reducing identity theft using SSNs:

•    Protect your SSN. Provide it only when necessary such as in tax forms, employment records, most banking, stock and property transactions. The SSN is the key to your credit and banking accounts and is the prime target of thieves.

•    If business or establishment requests your SSN, ask if you can use another number instead.

•    Do not have your SSN printed on your checks. Do not let merchants write the SSN onto your checks because of the risk of fraud.

•    Do not utter your SSN aloud when you are in a public place. Speak softly or write it down on a piece of paper instead. Be sure to retrieve and shred that paper after use.

•    Check your Social Security Personal Earnings and Benefits Estimate Statement each year to check for fraud.

•    Do not carry your SSN card in your wallet except for emergencies.

•    Do not carry wallet cards that display the SSN such as insurance cards, except when needed to receive healthcare services.

Theft identity entails a lot of damage. If you are a victim of it, consult a Social Security fraud attorney to help you in your tedious legal battle ahead.

If you have been feeling the crunch of finding ways to curb your spending on an already fixed income, then you will be delighted to know that your Illinois social security benefits will increase beginning in January.

The Social Security Administration announced on Thursday, October 16 that social security benefits will increase by 5.8 percent in January 2009. It’s easy to see why most social security recipients will welcome this change. Illinois social security benefit payments have not seen an increase since 1982, well over 25 years ago. Illinois social security recipients may see as much as an additional $63 in their monthly checks. Whether retirees receive Illinois social security checks as an Electronic Funds Transfer or by a paper check, they will find it a bit easier to breathe with an added bonus.

Although many people have felt the strain of increased food and gas prices as well as gas and electricity prices, this Illinois social security increase may lessen the pain of those rising costs. Illinois social security retirees have felt the pressure of having to resort to using their savings accounts as well as reaching into their retirement funds to pay for exorbitant basic monthly bills in addition to medical bills. Retirees and those on disability have felt the pain of rising prices more than most and hopefully the Illinois social security benefit increase will offset some of that sting.

With the market’s unpredictable fluctuations and overall economic unease apparently here to stay, many Illinois social security recipients worry that their retirement plans will also be affected. Furthermore, the Congressional Budget Office predicts that Americans’ retirement plans have actually lost as much as $2 trillion over the past year and a half. This is, indeed, something to worry about and why it’s important to leave some of that 5.8 percent increase from Illinois social security paychecks in the bank.

Due to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), Illinois social security retirees would have seen an even higher increase if it wasn’t for the dip in energy costs at the end of summer. Over the past 15 years, COLA has been much lower, so Illinois social security recipients should be thankful for this higher increase next year. However, the increase may not be enough to recover from recent months’ influx of daily living costs. The highest COLA occurred in 1980 with a 14.3 percent boost, which is nearly three times greater than the one beginning in January 2009. Illinois social security benefits have had an annual adjustment since 1975. If you need more information how this increase will affect your benefits, contact an Illinois social security attorney.

If you currently have Medicare, your Illinois social security benefit increase will not, for most retirees, be affected by higher premiums. However, those who are making more than $170,000 a year will see an increase in their premiums. This may be a relief to those earning below $170,000; however, if you’re in the latter category then your questions can be answered through an Illinois social security lawyer.

 

Whether you receive Illinois social security benefits, SSI, or disability benefits, everyone will see an increase in their monthly payments. Furthermore, if you are married you may see as much as $100 more combined a month.

Politicians and other public policy experts have predicted that social security benefits will eventually run dry and it may be sooner than the 78 million baby boomers who are soon to retire had expected. Although the social security trust fund may run out of funding by 2041, Illinois social security retirees and those who will be retiring in the next ten years will actually pay more into the fund than it collects beginning in 2017.

With nearly 170 million workers paying into the system with social security taxes next year, approximately 10 million of those workers will be paying higher taxes resulting from the COLA increase.

So does this mean that now is the right time to start receiving your Illinois social security benefits? That may depend on several things. Illinois social security recipients, along with those who are planning on starting to receive their social security payments within the next year, should ask an Illinois social security attorney any questions they have concerning their benefits, Medicare payments, social security disability payments and other factors that will affect their payments beginning in January.

Meghan DiTolla asked:


Many are surprised to learn that Social Security eligibility is similar to other types of lawsuits.  For example, in certain personal injury lawsuits, the plaintiff needs to prove that he or she will not be able to work in the same capacity in the future due to sustained injuries.  These injuries need strict medical documentation. This may come down to emotional impairment as well, not just physical impairment.

A Social Security claim acts in somewhat the same regard.  The difference is that a personal injury claim is waged against a defendant.  In Social Security cases, there is no “defendant” as such, as Social Security claims for illness involve a person’s own physical capabilities based on illness – not necessarily due to the fault of another person.  That said, there needs to be the same burden of proof for demonstrating physical incapacitation.

Medical Guidelines for Social Security

Social Security guidelines are very strict, which can sometimes come as a disappointment for those claimants who do have cases that fall within these guidelines.  For example, it is not enough for a person to suffer from HIV/AIDS.  Rather, the patient needs to have a T-helper lymphocyte (CD4) count above 200/mm3.  It is at this point that an HIV/AIDS patient is more susceptible to increased illness.

However, the Social Security Administration will take into account other issues besides the T-helper lymphocyte (CD4) count, such as weight loss – though the CD4 count is an important factor.  The reason why a skilled and experienced Social Security attorney is necessary is to navigate thee possible permutations of illness and diagnosis that can mean the difference between receiving benefits or receiving none at all.

It bears stressing, but you should not think that there is a minimum threshold you have to cross to be eligible for benefits – these are guidelines.  As each patient has a different circumstance in term of personal support, age, income, and other factors these will be factored in as well.  This is made clear by Social Security benefits for anxiety.  While mental illnesses can be measured in some way, it is a more generalized disability than something like a CD4 count that can be quantitatively measured.  So this should tell you that there is some leeway with how Social Security benefits can be distributed.

In the case of anxiety, for example, OCD, post-traumatic stress, and panic attacks all qualify.  While these can most certainly be diagnosed by a trained professional, it will take the expertise of a qualified attorney to help ensure that a patient receives ample support from the Social Security Administration.  Financial support is the basis of clinical documentation, which a Social Security attorney can help gather together and ultimately secure long-term benefits.

These same rules apply to other illnesses: arthritis, heart failure, cancer, diabetes, and so on – chronic illnesses fall within the scope of Social Security Benefits.  Receiving these benefits is the result of a combination of strict medical documentation and the skill of a good attorney.  If you are ill, there is no reason to add to your trouble with increased financial worry.  The goal of a Social Security attorney is to provide long-term stability and improve your overall quality of life.

Patricia Woloch asked:


Social Security Administration’s Definition of Disability

The Social Security Administration has some qualifications to be considered a disability. To be defined as a disability, two conditions must be met:

1. The person is unable to do the work for which the disabled person is suited making at least $900 gross income per month (known as a Substantial Gainful Activity or SGA)

2. The condition has lasted continuously or is expected to last continuously for at least one year or will probably result in death.

Disabilities that meet these two requirements can be either mental or physical in nature or a combination of both types. The particular disability doesn’t matter as long as the two requirements are met.

Social Security defines disability for these purposes to be a total disability, not a partial disability. The person applying for benefits must be considered completely disabled.

How is Ability to Do Work for Which You are Suited Determined?

In order to determine if you are unable to work, the Social Security Administration looks at two things:

1. You must be unable to perform the type of work you did for the past 15 years for a year or longer

2. You must be unable to perform any other type of work for which you are qualified

Other work for which you are qualified refers to work to which you could reasonably transfer your skills and is based upon your age, education, work experience, and any mental and/or physical limitations that you may have.

Time and Age Limits

There is no set length of time you can accrue benefits. As long as you meet the requirements of having a disability, you will receive Social Security Disability benefits.

There is no set age limit to receiving benefits. Once you reach age 65, however, your benefits will automatically convert into retirement benefits.

Earliest Time You May File a Claim

You must be disabled for five months prior to filing a claim. This is because benefits don’t accrue until six months after the date of onset of your disability. The date of onset is the date when you were first unable to perform your work.

http://www.defendingthetruth.com/articles/4808-proposals-change-social-security-benefits.html

During many elections, we have heard proposals from politicians to alter or change Social Security benefits. In this paper, I’m going to research and analyze these proposals to find out whether or not they would be beneficial to the Social Security fund, how it will affect all of us in the future, and the current beneficiaries who receive Social Security.

“The key problem for Social Security is that, as the population ages, soon there will not be enough people paying Social Security taxes to provide benefits for every retired person.” (Dilulio & Wilson 486). This is why so many politicians have proposed changes to the current system. The people in my generation might not see any benefits when it’s our time to retire. “In 1950, there were 16 workers to support every one beneficiary of Social Security; today, there are only 3.3 workers supporting every Social Security beneficiary.” (White House). If Social Security stays unchanged at this rate, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. If we ever reach this stage we will be left with two problems, a lot of people paying into the system now will be cut off of Social Security, or the government will borrow more money to pay the beneficiaries, which will increase the national debt.

“Unless otherwise stated, payment levels apply equally to aged, blind, and disabled persons.” (State assistance programs for SSI recipients, 3) I believe that if the Social Security fund only funded beneficiaries who are aged, we would not have such a low number today of 3.3 workers supporting every Social Security beneficiary. “The Budget Enforcement Act, for example, excluded the receipts and disbursements of Social Security from the President’s budget and the congressional budget resolution. Programs that have been excluded like this are called “off-budget”.” (Collender 12)

Robert M. Ball has proposed a plan to alter Social Security while arguing against President Bush’s proposal of private accounts. One thing that Ball has proposed was, “Gradually raise the cap on earnings covered by Social Security so that once again 90 percent of all such earnings would be taxed and counted for benefits” (Ball 2). I believe the means of using tax to fix Social Security will work in the short run, but not in the long. If we do take this approach, should we gradually raise the cap on earnings covered by Social Security even more in the future when Social Security has gone further into debt? Another proposed change by Ball was, “An estate tax is a highly progressive way of meeting this cost, and dedicating it to Social Security would strengthen the contributory.” (Ball 3) Now an estate tax, or sometimes called a “death tax”, is a tax on a person’s estate depending on how much he or she was worth. Again, I see a problem with this proposal because Ball is suggesting that we use another means of tax to be paid into Social Security. I personally think it’s wrong to even have an estate tax because those who are taxed an estate tax were most likely small business owners. “More than 70% of family businesses do not survive the second generation; 87% do not make it to the third generation.” (Frequently Asked Questions about the “Death Tax”)

During the 2000 elections, President Bush was widely known for his proposals to privatize Social Security. Most of the Democrat’s are against Bush’s proposals to change Social Security, whereas, most Republican’s are for Bush’s proposals to change Social Security. In order to find out whether people would be better off under the current Social Security system or a privatized system, I researched the average returns among the current system and compared them to the average returns under a private investment or “private account”.

Barbara Boxer published a “Social Security to Social Insecurity calculator” (Boxer), that calculates the average return an individual will receive under the current system compared to Bush’s privatization plan. I entered many different salaries and years and at every given circumstance, Bush’s plan resulted in a loss. I found this very disturbing considering the large amounts of research I have done last year on retirement accounts.

Dave Ramsey published a ”Privatizing Social Security calculator” (Ramsey), that calculates the return you could expect depending on the type of fund you choose, your income, and your age. Compared to Barbara Boxer’s calculator, I found this calculator more accurate because you were able to choose a fund that had an average annual return, which is calculated into how much you contribute over a given amount of years. The result from Dave Ramsey’s calculator shows how much you will receive from social security and your private accounts when you retire which resulted in a much higher return than social security.

Last year I took an economics class, which covered a great deal in investing for retirement. Some people who are against Bush’s plan of private accounts state that privatizing social security is too risky for retirement. “For individual investors who have neither the time nor the inclusion to actively monitor a stock or a bong portfolio, mutual funds have an obvious appeal. Just pick a good fund and let the managers do the work for you.” (Groz 105). At the age of 19, I visited Fidelity Investments in Braintree, Massachusetts where I was able to start my own investment portfolio. They showed me many funds that ranged from aggressive growth to conservative growth funds. I then chose a couple of mutual funds that were aggressive growth because I was starting my investing at such a young age. “Many investors draw the inference that they should not invest all their money in a single stock or bond, but rather spread out their investments among a group of securities.” (Groz 106). If private accounts were an option, I would recommend people to diversify their investments into many different funds just to limit risk.

Another benefit from investing in certain types of stocks is the dividends. “Dividends, then, are a dividing up and distribution to shareholders of a portion of the corporation’s earnings.” (Groz 27). With these dividends, you can reinvest them into the stock or fund; “Compounding occurs when you get many (e.g., interest or dividends) from an investment and put it back into the portfolio, letting it grow alongside the original investment.” (Groz 183).

After doing researching and analyzing the proposals offered by many politicians, I feel that privatizing Social Security is not such a bad idea. I feel that privatizing Social Security would give people more control of their money when it comes to saving money for retirement that the government cannot touch. I understand that some people might fear the risks of investing in the stock market, but if someone diversifies and chooses funds that are somewhat conservative, there is a very small risk of having little return. Considering that Social Security today has very little return “Social Security’s inflation-adjusted rate of return is only 1.23 percent for an average household of two 30-year-old earners with children in which each parent made just under $26,000 in 1996.” (Beach), you would be better off putting your money into a savings account earning a return close to 3 percent.

“If someone’s definition of national debt excludes the debt owed to federal entities, they are not accounting for the interest on the debt owed to federal entities.” (Ruoco). Since the government’s national debt has been rising year after year which can be seen on (www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdhisto4.htm), why should I trust the government with my retirement money? This is why I support the idea of privatizing Social Security, or at least giving the American people the option to invest in private accounts.

For a number of years, people have been talking about how the Medicare and Social Security system are potentially not sustainable in its current incarnation.  This will come as dire news to anyone looking to secure Social Security disability payments.  Right now there is a backlog for approvals as well.  In short, the Social Security disability system is not as stable or efficient as it could be.

This is yet another reason to work with a Social Security disability attorney, as a lawyer will be able to navigate this very tough and complicated process and ensure that your future SSD payments are not delayed.  In 2008, the average amount of time to process a Social Security disability application was 480 days.  Now imagine trying to receive benefits without an attorney: if you file information incorrectly, you could be looking at double that amount of time.  Worse yet, it could mean no claim at all, regardless of the amount of time it takes.

The stimulus package could help this scenario, but that is no reason to think you can go it alone.  Though there may be new measures in place to speed up the process, there are still a record number of people filing a SSD claim.  Close to 800,000 people filed a claim in 2008.  The SSD workload is set to increase significantly in the coming years.

The Economic Recovery Bill

The economic recovery bill has a number of provisions that will help the Social Security claim process go more smoothly:

$500 million to help the Social Security Administration process the increasing influx of disability applications. $400 million to improve the computer capability of the SSA – currently utilizing outdated technology. $4.2 million to help people with certain disability receive additional SSI income.

All told, the system should hopefully be better.  Again, it must be stressed that a Social Security attorney is still necessary.  Even if the SSD application process goes more smoothly, it’s still going to mean a long haul for most applications – possibly a year or more.  What this means ultimately is that when you hire a Social Security attorney the process will now go faster, which is very good news.  But you will still need to gather all relevant medical information, accurately dot the “i’s” and follow complicated regulations, so hiring representation is your best avenue towards getting benefits as quickly as possible.

Given the fact that new processes are going to come about via the stimulus package, it is even more necessary to hire an attorney who keeps up with all developments in the Social Security system.  California, in particular, has a large backlog of SSD applicants, given its high population relative to other states.  So while it is very good news measures are being taken to fix a sometimes cumbersome system, you will need an advocate to help you correctly file your application whenever new changes go into effect.  It’s important to remember also that new regulations can occur on a state level as well, in addition to a federal level, so California has particular laws to help SSI applications get processed.

Eric Bayne asked:


The very first Social Security check was sent through the mail in 1940 even though President Roosevelt had signed the Social Security Act into law, 5 years earlier. Ever since, many American retirees have been grateful to receive that monthly financial safety net as they entered their retirement years. It’s difficult to believe that Social Security has been with us for sixty plus years.

In the original incarnation of the bill, Social Security benefits were only to be paid to the primary worker. But, before the bill went live, additional benefits for the spouse and children were added.

Quite a few folks erroneously think that the Social Security system is equivalent to an investment annuity, in which you send money to the government. They will then invest it and give you the resulting income in monthly payments for the rest of your life. In fact, however, the system is closer to a government welfare program. The collection of payroll taxes , which finances the Social Security program, is managed under the authorization of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, better known as FICA. FICA is like the enforcement arm of the system. It ensures that every worker “contributes” his or her fair share to the government pool.

Each new generation of workers is responsible for taking care of the previous generation’s retirees. The amount of money you eventually get back from the government has only a tenuous relationship to the amount of money that was deducted from your check over the years. Since it’s inception, the system has collected from contributors and paid out over nine trillion dollars to recipients.

But the 1940 statute did not merely quit with allowing retirees to collect benefits. The law also consisted of the first incarnations of the welfare and unemployment systems which are still very much in evidence today.

Today, with millions of people losing their jobs every month, with our financial systems going into the toilet, and the housing crisis exploding around us – these safety nets are becoming more important than ever. Many retired women, especially, are just barely able to make ends meet with the help of Social Security. This is because, although gradually changing, women today are less likely than men to have additional sources of income. Partly due to working less years in the workforce because of child raising responsibilities. And partly because, even while in the work force, women typically are paid less than men.

But all families are helped by Social Security, even those that don’t need it to survive. In fact, according to independent studies, if Social Security was eliminated, many retired families would experience a drop in their living standards of 70% or more.

Many people fear that the system cannot sustain itself. In fact, there have been times in the past when the amount of money paid to recipients exceeded the amount of money collected via FICA. In these cases, Trust bonds were sold to make up the shortfall. Because of circumstances like these, Congress has occasionally upped the percentage of gross income that FICA can collect from salaries. Even these modifications, however, as the population ages and simultaneously live longer, may not be enough to sustain the system without drastic changes to the system.

The Social Security program is the largest government program of the country – constituting over twenty percent of the federal budget. As some politicians look at cutting the size and expenses of government, this program has an inviting target on its back. To many people, however, the cost of losing this critical system could ultimately be much more than the cost of running budget deficits.
