Just seen a headline on my local tv news-*The Government* can't guarantee Aug. 3rd Social Security checks. If thats the case,I will call my LTD carrier-they are suppose to cover me till age 65. This is scary if it happens. Thats our money-not the government's. Maybe the USA can get a loan from China.

I don't know what I'll do if my SSDI check doesn't come. I have nobody to fall back on. Guess I'll be on a mandatory starvation diet!

If that happens do they then retro pay those on disability come Sept? Or is the August payment gone for good?

Watch this video after the 12 sec add.

I have another question. What if a person gets direct deposit on the 1st of the month. This statement by *The President* and from what I read in the newspapers indicates that checks issued on August 3rd cannot be guaranteed

Does this only affect checks on August 3rd, or does that affect people who get their checks deposited on the 1st of each month?

if someone can answer this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks much

UPDATE!!!!

Never mind. I just called Social Security. They explained about getting one's check near the Wednesday of one's birthday. So I'm supposed to get mine on the 3rd. So in essence, if *The Government* or someone doesn't raise the debt ceiling, we're all screwed.

Oh My God.

Oh my God!
This is too scary! Both SSI & SSDI???

Well, it came out of *the President's" mouth. He said 'The elderly, the disabled, the veterans", if there is no money in the coffers, there won't be any checks going out on the 3rd".........

Scary to think about this.

This is affect the entire elderly population of the United States, as well as all the disabled. I wonder if he is just saying this just so he can go on tv and say "Don't worry, it's been fixed, the checks are going out"

Do you know the relief that will be in people's minds??

Check out the Washington Times article-URGENT: Social Security checks will go out on August 3rd. Google is your friend.

*President Obama* Press Conference today (7-15) at 11am eastern to discuss the situation.

OH MY GOD, I know we will all be back on this forum later on to discuss what *the President* says.

Keeping fingers, toes, and anything else I have....CROSSED!!!

This is a bunch of ***** seeing who can **** higher on the wall. Don't worry if there is one thing the U.S. knows how to do it's spend money. There may be an 11th hour deal at midnight but something will pass, its just a shame that we can't string these guys up for all this ****. The Rep's will blame it on the President and he in turn will blame them for the policy. Each will say they won for what they were fighting for and we will go on to borrow to cover another day.
