Do you know anyone who has gotten caught abusing Social Security Disability?

That would explain things because I get SSDI and have never had to show any info regarding my bank accounts etc.

you had enough quarters in the system! this is something i try to drive home to people when they say that 'piddly part time/short term' jobs are'nt 'worth it'. if you pay into ss from those jobs they count towards the quarters that make the difference between ssi and ssdi-and when that can mean a check 3 times higher on a month to month basis those 'piddly' jobs pay off in the end

Yes I did have enough *credits* I must have barely made it..i worked all through high school and then 3 years in the Marines..I think I'm very lucky that I qualified..I'm also really happy that I get SSDI and not SSI
