[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 543681"] I guess I'm confused too. From my understanding SSI is what adults apply for if they've never worked a job where Social Security was taken out of their pay or they didn't work enough for there to be a certain number of "credits" on their Social Security record. Social Security Disability is for those that have worked and paid "enough" in to Social Security. The amount the SSDI initally pays each month depends on how much they have "contributed" to Social Security during their working years. At least that's my understanding. If they specifically told him he wouldn't have to pay it back if he is ultimately denied, then that's probably what they mean although it makes no sense to me. I would however, call the local office and check into it. Since Travis is an adult, he'd have to be right there with you and tell them first that it's okay for them to answer your questions and then hand you the phone or you'd both need to be on the line at the same time so you can hear it for yourself. I hope it's correct and that he will start getting something soon. If I were in your shoes, I would be skeptical too. [/QUOTE]
