Social Security Disability Info

Both Workers Comp and Disability law firms are well seasoned when it comes to Social Security Disability Info. If you suffer an injury, especially one that you or your doctor suspect will be an issue for the foreseeable future, then you will want to seek early legal representation so you have the advantage of early intervention in your claim and can seek the proper guidance to know what the next step should be. Social Security Disability Info involves a lot of know-how and experience, and if you need to file a claim with the Social Security Administration, you might feel very overwhelmed.

Seeking an attorney early on doesn’t cost any more than getting one later on or if you’re going to court, the only difference is that the earlier you have someone there to guide and support you, the better your foundation your case will have overall.

When someone suffers an injury, one might end up getting the treatment they need to get back on their feet in a matter of weeks or a few short months, but chronic illnesses and severe impairments could affect others differently, rendering them disabled for over a year or even longer. You don’t even have to wait that long to file for a Disability claim. In fact, it’s usually recommended that you file as soon as you are out of work. The most important thing throughout the whole process is that you continue receiving treatment for the conditions you claimed on your disability application. The more medical evidence there is on a claim, the better Social Security will understand how much your impairments limit you from working. They cross-examine a few things, such as the level of severity the symptoms have on you, the claimant, your work history and level of education, as well as your age and how all of that stacks up against your ability to re-enter the workforce with the impairments you have. Some employers do hire disabled people, but not all disabled people can work or function in the same way.

If you have questions about Social Security Disability Info, it might be time to call an Attorney. There are many details about Social Security Disability Info that could leave you with a lot of doubts, which is why calling an Attorney will help you find out what you qualify for.

SSD in California by Gold Country

Social Security Disability Info

If you’re looking to apply for Social Security benefits in California, you might need to know about the requirements and rules that go with it. SSD stands for Social Security Disability, but you might also see this program under the title DIB (Disability Insurance Benefits) or RSDI (Retirement Survivors and Disability Insurance).  If you have not contributed enough to qualify for DIB, if disabled, you may still qualify for SSI. To be eligible for SSD in California, a person must be unable to engage in work, which the SSA refers to as Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). That being said, if you are still employed and earning more than about $1200/month, the SSA will probably consider this as engaging in SGA.

Although Social Security allows some trial work periods, where they allow you to collect benefits while working very limited hours and earning a small income amount per month, depending on the disabilities you claim, it will be more difficult to get your benefits if you’re still working. This doesn’t mean that you should be out of work for a long period of time before you apply. On the contrary, you can apply as soon as you have stopped working due to medical disabilities and with medical evidence you will be disabled for at least 12 consecutive months. Some people think their impairments will get better over time, or they will apply for other benefits and wait for those results before applying for SSD. We don’t recommend that you wait as it can keep you from getting the back pay you deserve. Having an Attorney guide you through the process will ensure you have the best advice regarding how to get the best outcome depending on your situation.

You can apply for Social Security benefits on line.  Go to SSA.gov.  ANY OTHER EXTENSION OTHER THAN .gov WILL PROBABLY TAKE YOU TO A LAW FIRM’s website, many of which designed to appear as if you are applying for Social Security benefits, AND PROVIDING THEM WITH INFORMATION MAY OBLIGATE YOU TO PAY AN ATTORNEY’S FEE TO THEM.

Once an Attorney has helped you through the application process, it’s always a good idea to have some evidence handy so your lawyer can have as much information about the case and they can make sure it gets to the proper representatives. This could include medical records, lists of medications, and sometimes even tax-related forms in case Social Security might need clarification on past work and wages. In fact, during the process of applying for SSD in California, a representative may even ask you about your day-to-day habits and how they affect your disabilities. Every case is different and varies greatly, so having an Attorney to consult is greatly recommended to make sure everything is processed accurately and on time.
