    Looking to get company training. Do you think that an 8 year Social security disability for ADD would be a deal killer? Even with the supposed shortage?

    (Is there such thing as medical privacy that would make the disability my business and not theirs?) Hence would embellishing a story about taking care of an ill parent and traveling to Mexico etc. be better?

    Thanks!

    It will play heck with the 10 year job history. There will only be your previous work history before SSI for them to check on. Who knows.

    Sort of off topic - but SSI is a pyramid scheme that you or I would go to jail for running a business in a similar manner.

    It also only returns 2% on the investment which means that if you invested the same amount of money your retirement would be 500% higher.

    It's a raw deal for everybody all the way around.

    there is NO shortage of drivers, only a shortage of jobs............

    why do people still think there is a driver shortage.......??

    in any event, the SSI will show up on a background check. you "might" have to get a doctors letter/release saying you are way better now. but personally, i wouldn't sweat it too much.

    If you can pass a DOT physical and get a company to train and hire you, you will end up making too much money to continue receiving SSI benefits.

    We don’t pay into SS for SSI. unlike SSDI, SSI is funded through general tax revenues.
