Social Security Disability
If you have a disease, condition or disability that limits or prevents you from working, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits. A denial at any level, or a previous denial, may not disqualify you from receiving benefits. In fact, most applications are denied.
* Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.
* Social Security Disability payments are available to persons who stop working due to a physical or mental impairment that prevents them from performing "gainful" work. The disability must last at least 12 months or be expected to result in death.
* To be eligible, an employee must have worked at least 5 years (depending on your age) within the last forty calendar quarters (10 years) before the disability began.
* Disability checks are based on the average earnings for all the years an employee worked before becoming disabled. Benefits last as long as the injured is unable to work. A disabled person can get benefits until age 65 when payments are converted into retirement benefits. The amount will stay the same. Children under 18 and some disabled adults may also collect benefits if their parent receives disability.
If you are due Social Security Disability benefits, an attorney can help you file your claim and receive maximum payments. But don't delay, because time may run out for you to receive certain benefits. If you have been denied, call us today.
