56. Try to create an account on social security
Fri Jul 8, 2022, 06:43 PM
Jul 2022

They no longer mail your statement. You can look up your benefit to see what you'll receive. Then you can plan. You have to have a certain number of quarters, etc. Per my previous post, it would probably behoove you to get help with a disability claim.

Or you might qualify for SSI, which is considered welfare. The payments can be low. These are all things you need to know.
