[Blindtlk] Inquiry

[Gary Wunder]

Hello sir. The first thing you need to do is find out how many quarters you 
have worked under the definition of the Social Security Administration. At 
some point you will most likely be able to move from trying to qualify for 
supplemental security income to Social Security disability income. If you 
qualify for this latter program, the earnings limit is significantly higher, 
and your monthly check from the Social Security Administration will likewise 
be higher. I don't know in what state you live, but certainly you should be 
able to chat with the state president of the national Federation of the 
blind in your area for assistance. If for some reason this can't happen, I'd 
be delighted to help you as well. We can do this either by private e-mail or 
by telephone.

Warmest regards,

Gary
