get off tha weed buddy

How much a person gets on disability depends on many things such as their work history and do they have dependent children under a certain age.
In many/most states if you qualify for SSDI then you also qualify for state help if your income is under their poverty level of whatever it is they use. For people wiht minor children this often means the person getting disability is covered for medical beyond the medicare A, the B costs to much for many but some states will pay that for you and also pay for your enrollment in a perscription drug program and the state will usualy pay your childrens medical I think, here in Alaska there is a state program for kids anyway that is not dependnet on parents income. Just need to check your specific location.
As to whether or not it will pay the mortage or rent is another question but I think most of these things are geared to the COLA for your area and for renters there is often a subsidized rent program.

Funny, even with the weed- I can manage to form cohesive sentences. Without it, you cannot. Does that make sense to you? Now, don't fob your self-loathing off on me because I have a difference of opinion [which wasn't really an opinion so much as a flagrant fact]. All I wanted to know was where to sign up-- you felt the need to get political and stupid simultaneously with your statement about how all your medical bills are the ill offspring of one man [who's IQ can't top 80].

"Pay me, pay me, pay me [like me =D]" people are the god damned problem, not some chimp who sits in the oval office.

like i said lay off the weed and grow a real opionion>>your just so fucked up u cant think

(Haven't read ALL replies yet)
I have and I've been on it since March of '96. Not much $$ but it helps since I'm also not allowed to work. I'm in Canada, so I got CPP as well as ODSP

My boyfriend has a hearing next tuesday...I'll let everyone know if he wins or not...it's either going to be a great day or an awful one...we've been waiting for two years for this.

But is it enough money to live on?

Sure. My b/f got disability for depression...AND they back paid him all the way to age 14. They sent him something like $15,000.

Yes

I have a question...Where does this money come from, what dept.? I am hoping not social security.

Yes to having disability since 1994
It depends on what you earned while working.....

i've heard for some ppl its not enough to live on and for others it is. i guess it just depends on how u live. i guess if u get disability you would qualify for section 8 or even food stamps.
