Social Security Disability Law

1. Social Security Disability Law

2. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a program administered by the Social Security Administration for people who’ve worked for a number of years and paid into the system through federal withholding taxes. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is another program available to disabled people whose income and assets are very low. At the law office of Michael Monce, we can assist you in filing or appealing your claim and working with you towards a positive result and the benefits you deserve.

3. What conditions or injuries make me eligible for a disability claim? The law defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s) which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. How will I know if I qualify for disability? Have I received a diagnosis from a doctor? Is my disability medically determinable (that is, did my doctor diagnose me based on tests such as blood tests or MRI’s, or do I have other objective proof of my condition’s severity)

4. How do I apply for disability? You will need to complete an application for Social Security Disability. In this application, you will be asked to provide information such as the medical providers you see, income and employment information, as well as identifying information for members of your household (such as a spouse or dependent children). What happens once I apply for disability? Once you apply for disability, you will have to wait for an initial determination. While you are waiting, a disability claims specialist will review your application, and request information from your doctors and review your employment history prior to becoming disabled.

5. What happens if my claim is denied? The majority of Social Security Disability claims are denied at the state agency level. But a denial isn’t the end of the story. There is an appeals process in place. If your claim is not approved at the initial determination, you can appeal in what is called a request for reconsideration. If you are denied at that stage, the next step is to request a hearing. How much will I receive a month? If you receive a favorable decision for your disability claim, you may also receive back pay or past due benefits from the date when you became disabled. This can help you catch up on bills that may have gotten behind while you were out of work. It is from this back pay that your attorney’s fees are paid.
