    If I'm disabled and on SS and have a child will I lose benefits
    Im mentally disabled. My question is, If my ex was pregnant and it was mine, would Social security strip me of every benefit?

    What makes you think that they would?

    No,once you are disabled,you don't lose it because you are still disabled.. you had sex,they got pregnant,how then would that make you not disabled?

    I do not know... I know that if I get married I would lose all benefits.. its a crappy system they have. Right now my ex might be pregnant and I'm worried to death its mine, I know she's been with other guy... but.. if you think about it, they say if you get married your no longer disabled.. which is stupid... im worried sick to death now.. she said she wouldn't make me pay child support if it were mine and I trust her on that.. but if SS found out, I'm not sure... I receive income because of my dad, and also income from my disability.. I spoke to SS one day and they said if I got married id lose everything, and I asked what if I had a child, they said "Sir it doesnt matter" I don't know what to do if it comes down to it... cause my Dr.and therapist claim I'm disabled for LIFE...

    And if that were the case that I would lose it all.. I would die, because of the medication I'm on... Its impossible to quit the meds I'm on.. and if I had no SSI income, hwo would I be able to get my meds... my medicine all together cost around 1300, and if I lost everything, I don't know what I would do... most likely I would die if I couldn't afford those meds.

    I am not a lawyer,perhaps a call to one would aid you in this?

    It seems that if you marry into someone with an income,you would lose your benefits(from what I gather),perhaps if you don't get married there is a way through this?, I really don't know, I guess I just wanted to clear up some details before others came in to assist further.

    Well I spoke to local SS office and the woman was quite rude but she said If I were to get married, they would strip every benefit and say I'm no longer disabled.. I don't understand..

    And contacting them without getting enough explanation didn't help you,perhaps asking for the supervisor to explain things,or an in office visit?

    Otherwise,the contacting of an outside advocate, lawyer, would be in your best interest.

    But,start with the higher-ups at SS first.

    If you are disabled and receive Social Security Disability benefits you would NOT lose any benefits if you got married. I have no idea what the folks at SS are talking about if you DO receive your own disability benefits from the US Government.

    Also, if the child IS yours, then you could apply for a disability check under your disability for the child. This would be the same as child support on your end. But before you do that be sure via DNA testing that the child really IS yours!

    I think you need to go down in person to Social Security and speak to them in person. Something does not sound right here for you to lose any benefits at all if you got married. I know of many people who are disabled and receiving disability payments each month that are married.

    You must be receiving Supplemental Security Income and not Disability income for them to answer the way they did.
