Legal Answers
Q. Why can’t I pay my doctor bills with my insurance that I have instead of having to pay it out of my settlement money?
A: You can pay your medical bills with your insurance company, however, many health insurance policies have what is called a subrogation provisions which means that if they pay for medical bills that are the fault of a third party and you collect from that party, the insurance company has a right to be paid back anything amount they paid out. Each state has its own rules as toward notice of subro and I advise you to seek consult with an attorney in your are to see how it effects you claim.

Finally, if you already have an attorney please discuss the issue of payment of medial cost with them.
Q. Can I apply for SSI while waiting for SSI disability decision?
A: Typically, you should file for both together. The issue is the SSI is that you do not have enough earned credits to qualify for SSDI. Thus you should call the local social security office and see how many earned credits you have and if you could qualify for said SSDI benefits, If the answer is yes, the you should file for a con-current filing of SSDI. If you do not have enough credits you will be limited to the filing of SSI which you have done. The is a lengthy delay in the process which can only be speed up in rare cases. If you have other questions please contact an attorney who handles these matters.
Q. I have Social Security disability. They say I am making too much money and want me to pay back $28,000. Do I have to?
A: It is possible that you owe the money depending on if you are on SSI or SSDI. There are ways to request a wavier of the over payment which are the following:

If you received a letter from Social Security saying you were overpaid, you can do the following12345:

If you do not think you owe the money, you can ask SSA to reconsider the overpayment by filing a Request for Reconsideration Form (SSA561-U2).

You can also call your local Social Security office and ask them to take your appeal over the telephone.

You can request a waiver if you can't afford to pay back the overpayment and feel the error wasn't your fault, or if you believe the overpayment is unfair for another reason.

You can ask for a waiver at any time.

If Social Security paid you too much, you generally have to pay the money back. You will receive a notice explaining the error and outlining your options and rights.
