Hi Delda: I am still trying to understand all about disability. I have know been approved for Disability and the monthly deposits are being made. Still waiting on the lump sum check and Attorney's bill. Now that I am collecting SSD, it was a year (13 months) and was wondering about medicare/medicaid, when it kicks in? Is it a year more than SSD? What happens if you have alternative insurance (husband) how does that play into the SS insurance thing? Or should I just forget about it for now? Thanks for your information TTFN Gina Hug to you{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Delda}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
