Hi Idealist,

Thanks for your input! It sounds like they didn't explain how it works to you either. Did you even get an official "Letter" stating you were approved. I would think it would give a monthly benefit amount. I've heard that with SSI some states (not all) "kick in" an additional amount. But with SSD I'd think it's some exact amount.

Anyway, thanks again. I'm needing to tell my landlords if I will be able to pay rent for March. And, I need car repairs! (over 123,000 miles!). So, this news is "just in time"!!
