nice336 asked:


Does a SS card help speed up your residency/citizenship application? An aquaintance of mine in Mexico was sent a social security card when he was 14. I believe it was because his brother deducted him on his US taxes. This acquaintance wants to know if having this SS card helps him fix his immigration papers in any way. His is now 34. Anyone have an idea? Or where I can go to get the information?

beechersgirl asked:


What is the maximum amount of social security benefits that a person can receive and still be considered someones dependent? My mother gets SS, but not enough to live on her own, rent an apartment, etc. Does the fact that she receives any SS benefits mean that she cannot be considered my dependent?

Falon F asked:


The company I work for may be selling. The owner is giving out my social security number and personal info to potential buyers assuming that I will work for the new owners?? I have not given my consent and stumbled upon this information. Is it legal for my employer to do this without my consent?? My employer is not aware that I know they are planning on selling the business.

plagueoflife asked:


How long before my birthday do my social security benefits end? I’ll be 18 on the 27th of this month and I receive my payments on the 4th Wednesday of every month, in this case the day before my birthday.
Does this mean I will get paid this month or that my benefits ended last month?

Steven Colbert asked:


Im 23 years old and pay over a hundred dollars per paycheck towards social security. The program is doomed and theres no way I will get a check every month when I retire so why should I be forced to pay? Should’nt we be allowed to opt out and put the money we save towards are own retirement plans or spend the way we wish?
To everyone who gave some BS answer…. blow me. You only made those comments because your old and will be collection SS soon….which i will be paying for. Everyone knows the system is deaply flawed and in danger!
