Does anyone claim benefits? If so, what are they for? Unemployment? Disability? How long have you been claiming government support? Has COVID forced you into accepting financial help from the government?

The average benefit @62 would be $1, 300. Would that be enough for you to live on?
Is that what they'd give in a month?
According to the Social Security Website, yes you would get that amount @62 years old.
I make 1,900 a month. I have my own home. I'd have to be careful with what I spent it on and budget it for what needs to be paid. On second thought, I'd probably get a part time job.
Would be great to get one that would pay you "off the books" so you wouldn't have to report it.
Can they withhold your SS benefits if you start working again?
No. You just have to be careful how much money you make by taking a part time job. As of 2013, when you get SS benefits between the month you turn 62 and the month you reach full retirement age, you lose $1 in benefits for every $2 you earn from working in excess of $15,120.
SSI cash benefits and insurance for my deaf and blindness as well as developmental mental dsiablity.
I have not tried it yet. Although I tried to claim the death benefits of my father, the local government agency is too slow to process it.
