I'm a disabled married man
that has not worked since the age of 26, do not collect SSI or SSD because of my wife's earnings and I have a question to ask. Even though because of my many health problems, what happens in the highly unlikely event that my wife passes before I do? Does Hillary have a plan to help me or do I like many others just end up in the streets or become a burden to my children on top of their college debt since Hillary does not want to pay for Trump's kids college tuition. I know it's selfish to ask but in this day and age many women are the top earners in their households and many more men are staying home bypassing their careers. I think it's a fair question. If this post comes across sexist I apologize in advance to those I may of offended.
Hillary on SS
Secondly, I am concerned about those people on Social Security who are most vulnerable in terms of what their monthly payout is. That is primarily divorced, widowed, single women who either never worked themselves or worked only a little, so they have either just their own earnings to depend on or they had a spouse who also was a low-wage worker, and the first and most important task I think is to make sure that we get the monthly payment for the poorest Social Security recipients up. So that would be the first thing I would look at.

8. When I got hurt I thought
I would be able to return to work and also my WC lawyer told me I could not collect WC and SS so by the time I realized I would not be able to return to the workforce my credits ran out. I tried many times after that but my wife makes too much for me to collect anything. I understand it was my pride and ignorance that cost me. This was in 1991 and at the time I did have not internet access plus the fact I was trying to get better.

5. Interesting.....
My wife has not worked since around 2000 due to severe plaque psoriasis on her hands and feet. I make enough to support us, and have insurance, but have never thought of the longer term impact if I should die.
Thanks for putting that thought in my already neurotic head
And as for you, I wish both you and your wife long and happy lives.

26. I've told my story
Here on DU many many times, tell you the truth most would stop reading after the first sentence. Anyway if I included the story someone like yourself would find fault in that being not about the election, just asking for sympathy or whatever you and others would use negate my point.
You know what I was thinking I could probability get SSI if I divorce my wife (nod, nod wink wink ) still live with my family have taxpayers pay my medical bills, get food stamps and get whatever else I could out of the system. Even though I dropped the ball and have had many people like yourself belittle my struggles, read my mind and judge me to no end I chose to be honest with myself.
Even after all that and all my trials and tribulations I still have morals and live an honest life. I don't hide things I feel and if some of the posters on DU don't like my honesty, to tell you the truth, they to me are as troublesome as a cloudy day.
Is this a Omaha Steve sock puppet?

When I first read "I'm a disabled married man," what initially came to mind was "Yeah, I've been married almost 30 years myself. Welcome to the club."
But then I thought better of it.

I have always been pretty healthy, but the few times I have been sick I was faced with two options. Sit around feeling crappy, or get some work done. Unless I am in really bad shape I work. Once my mind is focused on work it seems like whatever illness I have starts to go away. Maybe it's just me but working makes me feel better.
There are so many work from home opportunities today, many large companies offer work from home jobs. Even with a disability.......why the hell aren't these people at least looking for work?

Your obviously correct, but isn't working easier than being a leach on society and worrying all the time about the future? Guess I'm different, if someone stopped me from working life would suck. What the heck else would you do all day?

And the DUches wonder why normal people can't stand them. It is statements like this that make me so angry.

My EX-WIFE, oh and I could say so much more, got SSDI and I was making great money. Your spouses income has nothing to do with whether you get Disability or didn't about 12 years ago.
And if his wife died he would get SS payments based on her income.

We had a secretary that retired several years ago, and SS told her to file under her deceased husbands benefits. Even though she had worked for more years than they had been married, she made out considerably better on his SS than she would have on hers.

Wow am I the only one that gets the impression the spouse is just his meal ticket right now and he's already hedging his bets on how to avoid work if she goes before him? I'm guessing the wife might actually be starting to have issues related to age and he's in a panic much like Bertha when she lost her meal ticket to a bonk on the head at least temporarily. They love pointing the finger of greed at this one or that one but never had thwre been a more self centered greedy bunch as those on du. Post always are about me, me, me with spouse and children getting third and fourth billings usually behind whatever expensive constantly sick pet they just can't live without.

I know my Mom got MS about 7 or 8 years before my Dad stopped working, and she got SSDI till 62. My Dad probably made $40,000+ when this happened in the early 90's. This doesn't make much sense.

If I could only work as hard as these lib/progs/primitives/DUmmies do at not working, I wouldn't have to work.
I guess I'm just too lazy to work that hard at not working.
