(4,713 posts)23. No, you started this thread with some convoluted theory
about the fact that you weren't collecting SSD bc of your wife & whatever your life might become if she passes away. You conveniently left out the part about you failing to work the process properly. Not to mention if your wife was working the whole time & dies you would receive her death benefits.

If you would have included the fact that your credits ran out then we wouldn't have even had this entire conversation bc I could've just led with it was your fault. I don't even know why you brought HRC into the conversation. You could've posted this in the disability group & had an honest discussion.
