Ssa Form 520: Fill & Download for Free

Prior to late in 2011, the Social Security Administration assigned SSNs to applicants based on the applicant’s geographic locality at the time of application. The first three digits of the SSN, the Area Number, were allocated geographically, with each regional SSA office having one (or in some cases more than one) Area Number allocated to it.Prior to 1972, the Area Number was determined by the actual SSA office with which any particular application was filed. That office would also be the office where your permanent Social Security file would be kept for its entire life, even if you moved elsewhere in the US afterwards. (The second part of the SSN, the two digit Group Number, literally indicated which group of filing cabinets your permanent file would have been stored in.)In 1972, the SSA moved all of its issuance and filing operations to Baltimore; from 1972 to 2011, the Area Number of a newly-issued SSN would instead be determined by the ZIP code of the applicant’s mailing address, using a SSA table that mapped ZIP codes to the service areas of the offices that then existed.Because your SSN was applied for after 1972 but before 2011, the reason your SSN begins with a 5 is because the mailing address your parents used when they applied for your number was in Missouri (500), North Dakota (501-502), South Dakota (503-504), Nebraska (505-508), Kansas (509-515), Montana (516-517), Idaho (518-519), Wyoming (520), Colorado (521-524), New Mexico (525), Arizona (526-527), Utah (528-529), Nevada (530), Washington (531-539), Oregon (540-544), California (545-573), Alaska (574), Hawaii (575-576), Washington DC (577-579), the Virgin Islands (580), Puerto Rico (580-584), New Mexico (585), Guam, American Samoa, or the Philippines (586), Mississippi (587-588), or Florida (589-595). Illinois is 318 through 361.The SSA adopted “randomization” in 2011; since the adoption of randomization, all new SSNs are allocated from the whole nationwide pool of unused numbers, and anybody anywhere can be issued any SSN with any Area Number without any regard to geographic locality.

First answered 4/10/2020We now pay about $520 billion per year in interest on a $22+ trillion national debt. Trump’s stimulus plus what the FED has done since last Sept will add about 30% to the debt and interest payments. That will push the debt to about $29 trillion and the annual interest payments to about $675 billion.add to that…..Since the early 1970s, Congress has spent an average of $630 billion in deficit spending. Over the past 12 years, they have averaged $1 trillion per year.add to that…..Congress has spent 100% of the excess money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund (all $2.7 trillion) and replaced the cash with special Treasury Notes. <<According to the SSA, 2020 is the last year that there will be any surplus payments into SS. Hereafter, they will need to “cash in” those Treasury Notes for cash that will have to be taken out of the annual operating budget paid by annual taxes.>>Congress has also spent all the money paid into numerous set-aside funds in a similar manner. The Federal gasoline tax is supposed to be used exclusively for road maintenance. It isn’t. The Federal Worker’s Pension Fund has been spent. etc.add to that . . . .Remember, this is all spending over and above collecting and spending annual tax revenue of about $3.7 trillion.and it is going to get worse….The virus crisis has reduced income, productivity, manufacturing and consumerism. This will reduce future tax revenues which will mandate greater deficit spending in the future. In addition, the current stimulus package is just a bandaid on a chronic problem. It is inevitable that much more spending will be needed for additional bail-outs, unemployment money, healthcare, and virus manufacturing, distribution and delivery. This first $2.2 trillion might be just the first installment.and there is no change in sight….A new economic theory called MMT has been adapted by our government. It proclaims that the amount of debt that the government owes and the amount of deficit spending does not matter and doesn’t ever have to be repaid. MMT says that they can spend as much as they want to because they control the money.Like “trickle-down economics”, of the Reagan era, not even one professional economist agrees that MMT is viable and history has shown it does not work but it gives the politicians plausible deniability instead of accountability.bottom line…. we are rushing at full speed toward economic collapse and no one knows how to use the brakes.

The short answer is, “yes”.SSI is a needs-based program. The monthly maximum Federal amounts for 2020 are $783 for an eligible individual, $1,175 for an eligible individual with an eligible spouse, and $392 for an essential person.There are many states that add to that Federal amount, but I'm just going to discuss the situation in Texas, which does not.Needs-based means you have to have income and resources under a certain amount. You also need to meet age or disability requirements.Let's say you are 65+. And your Social Security Retirement benefits are $520.00 per month.Under SSI you are allowed $20 per month unearned income, then your benefits are reduced dollar-for-dollar.So this year, (in my example) you could receive $520 in SSA benefits, and $283 in SSI.In Texas, if you get SSI, you also get Medicaid. There may also be other benefits, such as SNAP or housing assistance.
