A company that buys SSI payments?

Question

I've got Exactly 1 year of SSI left before my next re evaluation and I want to move out of the country with it but at $735 a month its not enough at one time to move. I know people with settlements from lawsuits and winnings can sell their payments for a fee (JG Wentworth). Is there someone who will do that for SSI payments? Since the payments are for sure? I don't think any of the major companies do and google comes up with absolutely nothing. Thanks!

Answer 1

Can't be done. If you move out of the country you are no longer eligible for SSI payments.

Answer 2

1) you can not get SSI if you are not living in the US.... so, even if you were to be re-approved at your next SSI determination, you would not get anything once you leave the states --- Medicaid also stop as soon as you leave the state you are receiving medicaid under



2) if you are on SSDI & leave the country, you still get reviewed. Reviews don't stop just because you moved out of the country. If you can not provided the needed info or do not meet the criteria, then SSDI will stop. Even with SSDI,



3) there is no company that will pre-pay you months worth of your SSI... I am reasonably sure it is not legal, but also consider that once you get that lump-sum your income/assets will be too high to remain on SSI... so the payments would immediately cease and the company that fronted you the money can't get their payments



4) the vast majority of countries will not allow you to immigrate... why because you are disabled. If you have a very wealthy relative or friend who is willing to provide their financial info with an agreement that they will pay for 100% of your medical care... then you might be taken under consideration; otherwise, you won't be allowed into another country

Answer 3

Don't know if you are confusing SSI benefits with social security benefits or not but SSI is the federal welfare program and it is only payable to qualified people who live in the US. If a person receiving SSI moves to another country they are no longer eligible after 30 days. Social Security benefits continue if a citizen moves out of the country and can be sent to wherever it is you would live and if a non-citizen receiving social security benefits moves out of the US they will continue to be eligible for their social security benefits for six months and then they terminate. SSI isn't social security.



Social Security and SSI will NOT send benefit payments to anyone other than the entitled individual or their rep payee. It is against the law for benefits to be sent to a third party e.g. JG Wentworth but since JG Wentworth is a responsible entity they wouldn't do it anyway.



Sounds to me as though you know you would no longer be eligible for SSI if you leave the country and are looking to commit fraud.

Answer 4

Can you prove you don't need money from the government by moving out of the country? NO! If you can afford to live without the money, you don't need it, so you're already cheating the system. No company is going to help you cheat the US government. Making money on $8820 before being sent to prison, isn't a good investment idea.

Answer 5

" I don't think any of the major companies do and google comes up with absolutely nothing."



Probably because what you are proposing amounts to fraud.
