Navigating The Social Security Disability Maze

If you are unable to work because of a disability, there are a few things you should know about your Social Security rights. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) were created to help people who are unable to earn sufficient income due to a disability. However, getting benefits is no simple task.

Claims that are perfectly valid are often denied. In part, this is the result of the Social Security Administration having to process these claims quickly. They have many to work through, and if they do not see exactly what they are looking for, exactly the way they expect it, in exactly the correct spot, the claim may be rejected. In fact, the majority of claims are rejected at first.

What To Know About Disability Benefits

Remember, SSDI and SSI benefits have different eligibility requirements. SSDI benefits increase for workers based on lifetime taxable working income, whereas SSI income is available to older adults or people with disabilities whose income and assets fall below a certain amount.

If you have been denied benefits after an initial application and would like to appeal, or if you are getting ready to file and would like to have an attorney guide you through the process of acquiring all necessary medical forms and paperwork, we can help. We can also help if you have a child with a disability and need assistance as you are getting ready to apply for benefits or beginning the appeals process.

Do You Qualify For Social Security Disability Insurance?

Chances are that you qualify for SSDI if you have an eligible disability or terminal illness that prevents you from working or performing normal work-related responsibilities for a period of 12 months. It is also important that your work history shows that you have worked long enough to be eligible for SSDI benefits. Most SSDI benefits are paid to people who are disabled, whether from a job injury or other debilitating condition, and to their children and widowers, as well as adults who have been disabled since they were children.

Do You Qualify For Supplemental Security Income?

Supplemental Security Income is available for anyone who is disabled, but has not worked long enough to be eligible for SSDI. SSI benefits are not based on work history. SSI is meant to help people who are limited in their income and resources to help pay for necessary living expenses.
