True. Some parents can can figure out to cut down like they can get rid of car that gas expenses are not cheap. BUT i know they do need a car for kids' doctor purposes. That sucks part. They can always sell the house according to OP's post stated mortgage and switch to rent apartment and many ways of cutting down on things that are unnecessary.

Sell thier homes? I resent that statement. BIG TIME!!

There are times where living in apt do cost more then house does. Its the majority who buy more then they need. If you have kids and having a mortgage is ideal over apt. its an investment. its a place for kids to call home. regardless how much the morgtage is, if half of SS variety covers it, and rest for everything else, then let it be. If mortage is nearly 90 percent of SS, then Yes I agree they need to sell, but not always go to apt. they need to downsize to a more manageable payments.

I agree. Only if relying on SS completely to pay is not always a good idea. House is pretty expensive to fix the window, roof, door, bathroom, kitchen and goes on. How do you get extra $ for fixing those stuff for the house? apartment, is a flat $ monthly without worrying if the winodw is cracked or so the landlord can take care of it.

But of course house is a good thing for an investment. It's definintely stick situation with money issue.

Plus the mortgage company may be more willing to give a payment "holiday" than a landlord would be.
 
Did SSI arrive today? I know SSDI/SSA arrive on 3rd but not sure if SSI arrived today.
 
We got our military retirement checks today (direct deposit).
 
Yes SSI arrived on the 1st as promised.
 
SSI usually arrives in the first week of month while SSDI usually comes based on the birth of date ( last time I recalled of.)

really? never knew that. I always thought ssi was 1st and ssdi was 3rd. I never heard of any other dates.

On the other hand, with the reps passing votes and today senate will vote.
At least the bill protects medicare and SSA for this year. might start all over again next year. Problem is there will be cuts to feds agency's phasing in the next 10 years including staffing of SSA's because of todays possible voting of yes to budget.
 
Yes, that is a good sign.

I think that we need to get rid of all politicians who work for many years. The politicians, who works just for two years, have free insurance for rest of their life including their wife and children - that is fact. Fk them.

Actually, there are so much information in the documents that we really don't know what will come out some bad news yet. We might able to find out more later or in a few months. I don't think that it is over yet, but the SSI is okay as safe for now.

Last night, I watched the political channel they said that they will fix it in 10 months to change some laws. Maybe, we won't able to find that their speech in the newspaper or on TV news because of the censorship. The reason is that I saw it because it was alive news last night at once. Get it?

well I realize that I wasn't clear. for SSI, usually on the first day of the month. For anyone who have already had benefit before may 1997 or get both SS benefits and SSI then that would be usually 3rd day of the month. After 1997 then benefits paid based on date on with the example of second wednesday 1st to 10th third wednesday 11th to 20th fourth wednesday 21st to 31st.

of course check The United States Social Security Administration and look up at schedule of social security benefit payment 2011. :D
 
thanks frisky-- as usual I larn something new. esp. when I dont double check on current event via googling.... :D

Since Senate passed the debt deal. Yes, SSI/SSDI will arrive very soon as well as you will see it on your bank.

Social Security Benefits Will Be Paid On Time

No, I think SSI and military payments will arrive on Aug 1 EVEN if the debt deal is NOT signed. It's the SSDI/SS retirements that may not arrive on 3rd because the deadline is Aug 2nd and if it doesn't get signed, it cannot issue checks.

So says Obama. :)
