I'm in the same boat, trying to get death benefits sorted for my grandma. This whole process is so frustrating. Sending good vibes your way, OP!
Have you thought about talking to a financial advisor who specializes in disability benefits? They might be able to give you a more personalized strategy.
I've heard rumors that the SSA is planning to change some rules about retirement accounts and SSDI. Might be worth waiting to see if anything changes before making a move.
Just a heads up, even if SSDI isn't affected, the Roth conversion could impact other benefits like food stamps or housing assistance if you receive any of those. Make sure to look at the big picture!
PSA: If anyone's having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling your local office instead of the main number. Sometimes they're easier to reach and can still help with your case.
Ugh, the SSA is such a mess rn. I've been waiting 9 months and counting. Starting to think I'll be eligible for retirement benefits before I get my disability approved 😂😭

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these issues? Maybe if enough of us complain, they'll actually do something to fix the system.
