mugrim posted:http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/credits3.htm On the face of it, this looks fair. I do think people who pay into FICA should get paid more but SSI is completely unlivable. Does America have something like Disability Insurance outside of SSDI? In Australia you have the basic Disability Pension of about $750ish a fortnight and if you were working when you became disabled, I think for any reason, you get a payout through your Superannuation insurance scheme (Superannuation is our compulsory Pensions. It's like a 401k). Mine was about $400,000 or I could take $2000 a month for the rest of my life. If I'm wrong I hope somebody corrects me.

I thought the idea was you were meant to move to find those jobs. Like if you can do a job that is entirely seated, like a some office jobs, they expect you to move to find them. Not saying it's right or wrong, just that is how I am interpreting them.

Let's say I immigrate to America from Australia (I don't know if it's important, but I heard we have some kind of welfare agreement) and I become totally and completely disabled due to an accident. At what point can I go on SSI/SSDI?
