Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for your question and I look forward to working on your answer. Also, it is important to know that I can only respond to your post and the information contained in it, as I do not know what you know, unless you describe it fully. Also, because you are at this site, you are asking me the question because you want the legal facts, as I see them, even if unfavorable to your situation from a legal perspective. Also, due to site tech reasons, oftentimes I am initially only able to see the first part of your post, so I apologize in advance if I ask a redundant question.
That being said, if you would like me to work on an answer for you, and in order to better assist you, could you please clarify for me:
1. Could you clarify what type of "credit" you are considering? Are you wondering if the full retirement amount would have been greater than the SS disability amount, because you had 4 more years of income to add to the mix (albeit, SSD income)?
2. Also, you indicate you paid taxes on your SSD. Did you have additional income beyond SSD that was taxable income?
I look forward to getting to work on this for you. Hang in there!
Sincerely,
S. Joy, Legal Expert

On Saturday, there will be greater gaps in time due to scheduling, for any needed follow up, but rest assured, by day's end it will be done.
Hi Ken,
Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, no, as I understand the SS law (I do SSD, which gets converted at full retirement age to SSR), only income from working (and of course SS taxes paid) will be utilized, not income from investments or other sources. I wish I had better news. Sorry.
Hope this helps to clarify. If it does, please click ACCEPT and follow up if needed after you do so. This expert's credit proceeds go towards providing volunteer provisions for the disabled. Thank you for helping!
