Social Security Disability Frequently Asked Questions by National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives

Social Security Disability (SSD) Benefits

You should file as soon as it is determined that you will not be able to work during the next 12 months or your condition is expected to lead to death.

Social Security is not a short term disability. For example, if your are sick or if you have an accident where you cannot work for several days or even a few months, you will not be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits.

How to find out if your are qualified for Social Security Benefits

Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool (BEST)
helps identify all the different Social Security programs for which you may be eligible.

If qualified, you can receive disability benefits under two programs: the Social Security disability insurance program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

Social Security Disability Program Social Security Disability Benefits or SSDI are paid to individuals who have worked at least 5  out of the last 10 years. For individuals under 31, the requirements are less stringent since they have not been in the work force as long.

Supplemental Security Income Program 
Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI)
are paid to individuals who are low level income and disabled whether or not the individual has worked in the past. SSI child's disability benefits are paid to children who are under 18 years old, are disabled and the parents or guardian are lower level income.

If you qualify, apply for Social Security disability benefits online. No matter what kind of disability benefits you are applying for, you must provide information about your medical, work, and education history.

You can also apply for Social Security disability benefits by phone, mail or in person at any Social Security office. Here's where to call for an appointment.

Disability Starter Kit

In an effort to help applicants prepare for their disability interviews and improve the initial disability claims taking process, a new adult and a revised child disability starter kit have been developed. The disability starter kits contain general information about the disability programs and decision-making process, and specific information about the documents and information we will request. The kits also provide links to online applications, including the i3368 and the i3820. Beginning April 5, 2004, a kit will be sent to an applicant when an appointment is made to file for disability benefits.

Social Security disability benefits are paid until age 65. When you reach age 65, your disability benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits, but the amount remains the same.

Certain members of your family may qualify for benefits on your record. They include:

  • Your spouse who is age 62 or older, or any age if he or she is caring for a child of yours who is under age 16 or disabled and also receiving checks.
  • Your disabled widow or widower age 50 or older.
  • Your unmarried son or daughter, including an adopted child, or, in some cases, a stepchild or grandchild. The child must be under age 18 or under age 19 if in high school full time.
  • Your unmarried son or daughter, age 18 or older, if he or she has a disability that started before age 22.

What Do You Do If Your Social Security Disability Claim is Denied?

If your application has recently been denied, the Appeal Disability Report is a starting point to request a review of the decision about your eligibility for disability benefits.

Appealing Your Denial: The Flow of Cases Through The Disability Process

If Your Claim for SSD Benefits Has Been Turned Down, You Should Consult With An Attorney Who Specializes in SSD Law.

The criteria used to determine your eligibility for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are subjective. Many folks are denied benefits they should receive because their illness, injury, or medical condition is misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or minimized.

There are many attorneys who specialize in Social Security Disability who will be happy to meet with you at no charge to discuss your options. In most cases, you will not be charged any fees unless they are successful in securing SSD benefits for you.

You can find links to many such attorneys at DisabilityExperts.info
