Linda,
I'm not sure how the SSI works and their are several who will reply soon who
have been there and done that.  I know that when I got around to applying
for social security disability I was told that I no longer had enough
"points" to qualify.  I had stopped working several years before I found the
energy and strength to start the process.  I had worked since I was in High
School with a few years taken off after marriage and coming to CA but
started working again when my son started school.  So had worked most of my
"adult" life.  I didn't look into it any further.

Good luck!!!!

Hugs,
Sherry
