master mechanic asked:


I am 54. I became disabled and have been getting s.s. disability as my only income. I will continue to get this since I am disabled. I have an IRA which I was contributing to for 28 years, until I became disabled.. Can I make any contribution to my IRA now ? If I convert to a Roth IRA is this any advantage?

Hoosier Honey asked:


My stepson started working part-time and receives ssdi because his bio-mom is crazy. Can he still receive benefits? and if the address on his benefits is different from his W-9 will that also cause problems?
