They will provide you with free assistance in getting a job that will accomodate your physical disabilities, including getting you whatever training or tools necessary. You should also apply for unemployment since you have lost your job through no fault of your own. Consider applying for disability if you are completely unable to work.

My husband passed in 2005 and I have been trying to get his social security and have not been able to get it I need to know what I need to do? Rate this question: Up Down asked by spiritprincess2001 Reply to this Question
  • A surviving spouse could be eligible for the deceased partner's full Social Security benefit -- depending on the age at which the surviving spouse claims that benefit. The key: your age when your spouse dies. If you already have reached your "full retirement age" (as defined by Social Security) when your spouse dies, you generally will be eligible to receive your deceased partner's full benefit. This assumes that your deceased partner's benefit is larger than your current one, based on your earnings history. But if you haven't reached full retirement age when your spouse dies, you will be eligible for somewhat less than 100% of the deceased partner's benefit. Here's an example: Bob is 70 years old and gets $1,800 a month from Social Security. Marcia, 68, collects $900 a month. Bob dies, and Marcia starts to collect $1,800 a month. The reason: Marcia already has reached full retirement age. You can start collecting Social Security survivor benefits as early as age 60, but at a reduced rate. You will get a smaller monthly payment than you would by waiting until your full retirement age, because those checks are being spread over a longer time period. Let's say Marcia is over 60 and hasn't reached her full retirement age when Bob dies (at age 70). Depending on her age, she generally could collect between 71% and 99% of her deceased husband's benefit. If your spouse dies and you receive, or are eligible for, a Social Security retirement benefit based on your own earnings record, you can either collect your own benefit or your survivor benefit -- but not both at the same time.
