Okay, Birdcrazy will be getting Supplemental Security Income; it's not related to Social Security (other than it is a Federal program that SS administers it but it does not come from Social Security taxes). It's to supplement disabled persons who don't have enough income, helps them with extra for food, rent, etc. It's not enough to live on, it's a supplement.

Birdcrazy got a letter disapproving Social Security Disability Insurance. That's only for those who have worked X years and paid SS taxes and then become disabled.
