There For You During Life’s Uncertainties
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: June 13, 2015
One has only to look at the recent devastating earthquake in Nepal or recall the Boston Marathon bombing to realize that uncertainty is a certainty of life.
Disability can happen to anyone at anytime — when we least expect it.
You can’t always prepare for what life throws at you. Unexpected, sometimes tragic, events can catch you off-guard, leaving you vulnerable.
When times of uncertainty strike, there’s something you can count on: Social Security’s programs are there to support the financial security of nearly every American, often during times of personal and family hardship. Our disability programs play a large role in supporting individuals with disabilities.
In fact, our disability program is critically important to our nation and includes the Social Security Disability Insurance and the Supplemental Security Income programs.
People who can’t work because they have a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death can receive benefits, and in some instances, their family members can as well.
We’re also here to support you when you experience a death in your family. With our online Survivors Benefits Planner tool, you can look at benefits from two sides: how your family members will be protected if you die, and how you may qualify as a survivor on someone else’s Social Security record. These benefits can be especially significant for young families with children.
Disability can happen to anyone at anytime — when we least expect it. If you’re going through an unexpected hardship, our employees are here to serve you and your family. To learn more about our programs and services, visit www.socialsecurity.gov.

Somewhere on your site I found some time ago information on how you can make up to 3 disbursements a month from your ssa account at a cost of $1.50 each I think.
Can you send me the link?
Thanks

My name is Liz from L A ….. After 2 years of Broken marriage, i felt like my whole life was destroyed. I almost committed suicide but was saved by someone I dont know, I was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Muna, whom i met online as i was browsing through marriage365, i came across lots of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce. I also come across one particular testimony, It was about a woman called Patty, she testified about how Dr Muna brought back her husband in 3 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Muna e-mail address marvelspelltemple@gmail. com After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 72 hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Muna, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing because he is a wonderful man…
