Open Question: I have a question about social security/disability benefits federal taxes?
(Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:49:50 GMT)
A 63 year old man was forced to retire from his state job, having worked 26 years, and having suffered from five heart attacks, diabetes and high b/p . He was then placed on disability retirement. For several years, the government has been taking out federal income taxes on him annually. He was informed that when he filed his income taxes, he was not supposed to be taxed on his federal taxes since he is disabled; is this true?
Yes, he is getting his social security income, plus his retiremen

Open Question: Does Medicaid use my parents' income as a determining factor for my eligibility?

I'm due with my first child on March 7. I'm working on filling out the Medicaid application so my son will have insurance. I am currently not working because I am so far along in my pregnancy. The only income my household receives is from my dad's retirement and disability checks; however, these checks amount to more than $17, 389/year, which is the Medicaid standard for qualifying income for a family of 5. I am only applying for myself and my baby, so does this matter?

Resolved Question: Am I missing the point here?
(Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:02:26 GMT)
We all have to work longer before we can claim a State retirement pension but the older people who claim disability living allowance will not be reassessed. They accrue the same pension rights as those who are employed so why are they exempt from retesting?
Hi uc410
We all know someone who is fraudulently making these claims with the proverbial "bad back" the most likely cause. It doesn't appear to stop someone from shopping, gardening or other myriad tasks.
