I tried to set up another e-mail account to answer you but I kept screwing up, so do you mind if I answer you here? The thing with social security is- it doesn't matter what you make now- actually that's a plus because it's obvious that you aren't able to work full-time or up to your previous level. I paid into the social security system for over a dozen years at a high level before I crashed- and this is what they based their payments on. my earning potential, and what I would get at a retirement age- which I think is either 67 or 70 (it keeps going up). so, have you paid into the system for an extended period? that lovely social security tax that appeared (maybe not now) on your income statement? if so, then you are definitely entitled to benefits. I posted the link for Phil a while back- www.allsupinc.com. They don't charge anything, so at least talk to them and see if you do qualify. unless you have never held down a full time job in your life, you almost certainly do. let me know what happens, I'll be thinking of you.
take care, judy
