I never hear anyone talking about this when criticizing social security, but I found out recently that

SSI, the disability-based income that is famously difficult to get approved for, doesn't actually immediately qualify you for medicare

If you go on RSDI (the one you pay into while working, the typical 'social security' people think of, that's either retirement or disability) before you turn 65, you won't be able to get on medicare for 24 months or till you turn 65, whichever comes first

Which is like.. insane. Because obviously if you're on SSI you would need medicare, you're disabled. And if you're on RSDI before 65, you're likely on SSDI/disability, and would need medicare

What the fuck is up with that

And also, I only found this out after 5 years of working as a medicaid caseworker, and I found it out on my own doing a google search while handling a case where a customer was on SSDI but seemed to not be on medicare yet. Because medicaid is an entirely different department and we don't know fucking anything about how social security works and don't talk to them at all and occasionally just have to pawn people off to them and tell them to hope for the best.

I hate this damn stupidass country and how they wonder why tf they have such inefficiency and a huge deficit when, if you work for the government to any capacity, you realize just how pointlessly difficult everything is and how every other thing we do gets outsourced to some shitass corporation who still makes civilians pay out the ass for shit like getting a PDF of their background check instead of having it mailed for free

Okay, this did not fit into that time post, but the actual reason I'd saved that piece I epigraph'd is because it contains this paragraph, which has the biggest RSDI + Soul Society Library energy imaginable:

"[The National Institute of Standards and Technology] is a sort of acropolis of the average, a Parnassus of the prototypical. Nowhere is this more evident than in its Standard Reference Materials (SRM) division. Picture a low-lit warehouse whose metal shelves are stocked with thousands of small jars whose sober labels announce contents like “New Jersey Soil Organics and Trace Elements,” “Oyster Tissue,” and “Domestic Sludge.” Every measurable attribute of these materials has been endlessly scrutinized and calibrated, providing benchmarks for the testing of other things. Steven Choquette, the director of the Office of Reference Materials, calls them “truth in a bottle,” a sample of which can fetch up to four hundred thousand dollars. Lately, Choquette says, the division has been focusing on biopharmaceuticals, and working on NIST’s first SRM for a living material: a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. It is also busily developing “Human Whole Stool” (it’s powdered).

In accordance with their Social Security program, the SSA distributes benefits on Social Security May 2024 Payment confirmed Date. So to help millions of beneficiaries meet their basic necessities, Social Security is an insurance program in USA that offers monthly checks. You will receive a $3000 Social Security Payment this Week if you were born between 11th to 20th. To know more on $3000 Social Security Payment 2024 Eligibility you must check this page and get the latest update. If you are eligible, then you will receive RSDI May Payment Amount 2024 on May 15. Receiving a Social Security Disability check offers several benefits, one of which is the beneficiary’s assurance that their payment will rise yearly due to the Cap on Adjustment of Benefits. Pensioners can manage inflation via COLA. A monthly payment for disability benefits will not arrive for many Americans until much later, even though some have already received them in early May and some will get them later this month. The SSI and RSDI programs are paid in rounds by the Social Security Administration (SSA) throughout the course of each month. While each program has its own set of qualifying requirements, they all aim to give monthly benefits to participants who have applied before and fulfilled all requirements. Many families are concerned about how they will pay their bills and rents when a major source of income abruptly disappears. Individuals and families who meet specific requirements can receive income through the federally funded Retirement, Survivors, Disability Insurance (RSDI) program. If an injury prevents you from working again, RSDI can replace lost income and offer income once you retire. You may also be eligible for RSDI benefits in the event that a family member who was receiving disability benefits or a wage earner passes away. If you are a retiree who claimed Social Security benefits at the full retirement age (FRA) and you meet the requirements for retirement, survivors, and disability insurance (RSDI), you may be eligible to receive up to $3,822 a month. Recipients who match the $3000 Social Security May Payment 2024 Eligibility and are survivors with two children may receive $3,653, and individuals with disabilities may receive up to $3,822 based on their past employment history and system contributions. Benefits from SSI are not restricted to a certain amount; each beneficiary will receive a different amount based on their circumstances and eligibility. Two payments are still expected to be mailed this month on May 15th and May 22nd, per the Social Security payment schedule for 2024. The distribution of all payments is based on the birthdate of each recipient, with RSDI payments being made

on May 15 for those born between the 11th and 20th and on May 22 for those born between the 21st and 31st.

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), over seven million individuals currently require assistance with their monthly SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or Social Security Retirement, Survivors and Dependents Insurance (RSDI) benefits. For that reason, SSA has the Representative Payee Program, through which it authorizes family members, friends, government agencies, and other organizations to receive benefits and act on behalf of the eligible individual in communications with the agency. The need for a payee is based primarily on an individual’s capability to manage his or her own funds.

What is the SNOT22 questionaire and why do rhinologists use it

Quality of life measures in sino nasal disease

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the nasal and sinus cavities. To measure the quality of life (QoL) in patients with CRS, researchers typically use disease-specific QoL instruments that are designed to capture the impact of the disease on the patient’s physical, emotional, and social well-being.

The most commonly used instrument for measuring QoL in patients with CRS is the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT), which was developed by the Rhinology Research Society. The SNOT 22 questionaire is a validated instrument that asks patients to rate their symptoms, such as nasal obstruction, facial pain, and postnasal drip, on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The questionnaire also includes items that assess the impact of CRS on the patient’s daily activities and emotional well-being.

Other disease-specific QoL instruments that are used to measure the impact of CRS on QoL include the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI), the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), and the Chronic Sinusitis Survey (CSS). These instruments assess various aspects of QoL, including symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social functioning.

In addition to disease-specific QoL instruments, researchers may also use generic QoL instruments to measure the impact of CRS on overall QoL. The most commonly used generic QoL instrument is the Short Form-36 (SF-36), which assesses overall QoL and includes domains such as physical functioning, social functioning, and emotional well-being.

Overall, the choice of QoL instrument used to measure the impact of CRS on QoL may depend on the specific research question, the patient population, and the clinical setting. However, the most commonly used instruments are disease-specific QoL instruments, such as the SNOT 22 questionnaire, which are designed to capture the unique impact of CRS on QoL. Currently, despite some limitations, the SNOT22  are the most widely accepted and researched quality of life tool in chronic rhinosinusitis. The questionaire has also been validated in other sino-nasal disorders. An example of the English version is featured below.

SNOT 22 questionaire translations are availiable for clinical practice and research

The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT) is a widely used questionnaire for assessing the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) on a patient’s quality of life. As the SNOT was developed in English, it has been translated into several other languages to facilitate its use in diverse populations.

To date, the SNOT 22 questionaire has been translated into more than 40 languages, including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean. These translations have been conducted using established translation and cross-cultural adaptation processes to ensure the validity and reliability of the translated instrument.

The German Translation of the SNOT22 by Prof Tobias Albrecht

Several of these translations have been validated in clinical studies, demonstrating their utility in assessing the impact of CRS on quality of life in different populations. The availability of these translated versions of the SNOT 22 questionaire has facilitated the use of this instrument in international clinical research, allowing for cross-cultural comparisons of CRS outcomes.

In summary, there are more than 40 translations of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test, which have been validated and used to assess the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis on quality of life in diverse populations around the world.

Trying hard to not be Like That but when clients have thousands in their bank accounts (in both checking and savings) and only report like $700 in social security I get both a little suspicious and jealous and I’m trying to not think about it too much.

[eruhamster]

actually maybe we should let them try and end RSDI. see what happens if you steal the retirement all americans have been paying into since they began working. bc i feel like if they do that like they always threaten, those previously-near-retirement age people are gonna start showing up to politician's houses with guns lmfao

sometimes i wonder what the actual percentage of americans who have any love for politicians (beyond trumptards) is. cuz i feel like one of the leading problems our geriatricy is that like. even if any of the politicians -want- to do things to help americans in any meaningful way, they are too out of touch to understand what issues regular citizens have, and are too slow to do anything. i'm literally, actually, genuinely unsure if there is a single thing change done since obama's presidency to change my life for the better. like literally a single thing. all i think about all day when i go out is about what changes need to happen that aren't being made. all day i think how it'd be nice if politicians made laws about the size of cars to curb the ever-increasing truck sizes. or to better regulate car lights for the increasingly blinding led lights. or something about the increasing light pollution in general, as now i almost see no stars in the sky at night whereas as a kid there were at least some. the lack of regulation of ai. the increasing monopolies. the impossible appeal process in medical insurance coverage. all day i think about things like this. small things that could be meaningfully changed that would probably be largely agreed on by both parties. and nothing ever ever ever gets done ever.

and it like. it makes me think of how many other americans do the same thing and think about that. and sometimes it makes me wonder. like. if... politicians know. that like... if something terrible was to happen, if the pandemic had been a little worse (and the stipends ring in my mind as i think of this, as something more of a bribe than any meaningful help), if an economic crash hit a little too hard... that the potential for more than just trumptards to storm the capitol wouldnt be outside the realm of possibility in the slightest. that the hatred is already very much there and very much festering with every passing year

[imsarahcate]

So a lot has been happening.  In december, CountryDad died (probably of Covid but we’ll never know for sure).  There’s lots of estate stuff to figure out (fortunately my cousin Will is executor and I trust him 10000%), but there was one IRA account that CountryDad had separate from the will/estate that had me as sole direct beficiary.

.

I’ve known this since the end of December, and I did finally call the company to accept the account and open my own so it can be transferred to me.  I’m not a stocks person, and as a single disabled woman living in poverty on disability- I definitely NEED the money.  But I’ve been terrified because I’m on disability and while I’m a little LESS worried about having to reapply (now that Drumpf is out of office), it’s still been a terrifying thought.

.

So today I finally called the investment place again now that my account is officially opened and funded from the ira Dad left me.  The financial advising department is going to give me a call on monday to work through starting to disperse the funds to me and hopefully help me figure out how to do it without getting screwed on taxes next year.

.

But I also needed to know the super scary thing.... how much $ can I have without losing my disability beneifts?

.

So, I took my meds, took a deep breath and went googling.

.

And ya’ll.... YA’LL:

I’m on RSDI (SSDI).  I became disabled in 2012, started disability in 2014, but before that, I was working from the age of 15, paying off and on into ss with my paychecks of course.  AND because my disability was granted based on my medical condition and having paid into the system LONG ENOUGH- my benefits are not dependant on my financial need.  Which means- no amount of assets or investments will end my disability benefits.  

.

I’m legitimately sitting here crying in relief.

.

Look, the dead dad money is not... insignificant, but it won’t last forever.  I have big things I NEED, that I want to use that money for to make my future more accessible before things get even worse (my pain has taken a big dive since the start of the year and it has definitely scared me a little).  I had reached a point where I decided that if it meant losing my disability- fine, I’ll use the money then reapply when it’s gone- but that was terrifying.

.

Well, now that weight is off my shoulders.  I’ll still need expert help with the taxes side of things so I don’t get screwed next tax season- but for the moment, I am so incredibly relieved...

[tengomjabbars]

I work with various Social Security claimants… there are definitely people who say, “we’d get married, but one of us would lose benefits and we need that $600/month just to get by.”

So the reason that this happens is threefold.

1) There are two types of Social Security disability benefits. One is RSDI, or SSDI, or DIB - the one that generally gets called “regular disability.” These go off of work credits, meaning your eligibility is a sliding scale based on your lifetime earnings. If you’re old and you were rich while you were able to work, you can get $2500 a month easy. If you’re young and/or worked in a less lucrative field, that amount goes way down - assuming you stay eligible through work credits at all, a more realistic number is $1200 a month, and it can be a lot lower than that.

2) the other type of benefits is SSI, or Supplemental Security Income. Which is a huge misnomer, because it doesn’t “supplement” jack. If you don’t have work credits and you are provably impoverished (less than $2000 in monthly income and savings for a single person or $3000 for a married couple), you are eligible for these benefits - and the maximum amount is $841/month.

3) While DIB claims are unaffected by marital status, SSI claims are affected. If your spouse’s income or savings is over that $3000, they’re assumed to be capable of supporting you and you get a technical denial for SSI. And if you’re a younger person with a disability, you probably got tech denied for the DIB as well, which means you’re SOL. So people “get around” this by not getting married, which is an unduly agonizing decision to have to make.

See, the system is built on some wildly unstable foundational assumptions. And those are way more than threefold. Here are just a few of those assumptions:

1) that only old people have disabilities

2) that you only deserve benefits if you’ve paid in enough throughout your lifetime

3) that earning $1350/month is “substantial gainful activity” and anyone earning that amount can no longer receive benefits (this low number also comes from federal minimum wage being too low)

4) that “substantial gainful activity” is the same amount everywhere despite cost of living being at least double in most major cities compared to rural living - and guess what skin color of people are more helped by that

5) that the standard for being “disabled” doesn’t account for what kind of work is in your town or what kind of work you’re currently qualified to do, but what kind of work a person in your condition could hypothetically do. Which leads to scenarios like “you barely graduated from high school and went straight into construction; now that your back’s fucked up, can’t you just learn to be an accountant and start doing that job tomorrow?”

All of this adds up to the culture of rural old white entitlement we all know in the US.

Undereducated people are a lot more likely to file, because they need their bodies to be in perfect health or they’re suddenly unemployable. Or more accurately, professions revolving around physical labor really put their workforce through a meat grinder and then have no accountability for this.

We tell young kids that “hey, the trades are good money,” and that’s true, but it’s not the whole story. It’s short-lived and deteriorating money. This construct relies entirely on young people’s very common and wildly inaccurate belief that they’re indestructible to perpetuate a system of cheap and miserable labor. The “indestructible” strong 20-year-old kid who gets a welding job, and the 46-year-old obese man with two lumbar spinal fusions and an opioid addiction… they’re the same guy at different points in the pipeline.

But hey, if you live in a cheap part of Iowa where you broke your body welding agricultural equipment, Uncle Sam will save you. And if you live in Chicago, where you broke your body welding industrial equipment, you’re fucked.

The era of “support our troops” is long past. The era of “support our workers” has yet to begin.

Though the jokes that "since gay pride month is over, july is now gay wrath month" are funny and all, it's important to remember that July is ACTUALLY Disability Pride Month and ya'll should really be focused on boosting disabled voices and issues this month! For instance, the fact that marriage equality doesn't actually truly exist in the United States for disabled people, or the fact that disabled people are forced to live in poverty or lose their disability benefits, or the fact that 1 in 5 people with chronic pain end up sufferring from alcoholism or other addictions, or how accessibility is still a daily battle for all of us, or how there are active hate groups on places like reddit who try to "call out" those they see as "faking" their disabilities.

This July, boost disabled voices. Talk about the issues that our community faces. Call out ableism.

I love the public assistance system the state uses that is just slightly younger than myself and can’t handle things like updating if a client has both SSI and RSDI, or doesn’t pull information forward to a future month so you have to manually update every panel that has a month older than the one you’re working in, etc.
