Your Social Security Disability Questions Answered
When you are dealing with a disability, the last thing you need is a confusing legal process. Our Winston-Salem clients often come to us feeling overwhelmed by the process and unsure about their rights. Below, we address the most common questions we hear from them. If you have additional questions, our team is always ready to provide you with personalized answers during your first consultation.
Who qualifies for SSDI and SSI benefits? Are you eligible?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are for individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, giving them enough “work credits” to be insured. On the other hand, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a program based on financial needs. It helps individuals with low income and few assets, so your past work does not affect eligibility. However, a critical requirement applies to both: you must prove your medical condition is severe enough to stop you from working for at least one year.
What conditions typically qualify for benefits, and what documentation will you need?
Certain medical conditions are more commonly associated with disability benefits due to their significant impact on an individual’s ability to work. Any condition, from back injuries to mental health disorders, may qualify if it is severe enough to keep you from working for a year or longer. However, to prove this, you will need strong medical evidence. This includes your medical records, treatment history, test results and detailed statements from your doctors about your limitations.
How does the application process work, and what are the steps if your application is denied?
The process begins when you file an initial application with the Social Security Administration. You will need to provide detailed information about your medical condition, treatment history and work background. If you receive a denial, you must file an appeal called a request for reconsideration within 60 days. Should your claim be denied again, the next step is to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Our firm can help you prepare for every stage of the process.
Can your family members receive benefits based on your eligibility?
Yes, if you qualify for SSDI, certain family members may also be able to receive monthly payments. For example, your spouse may be eligible if they are over 62 or are caring for your child who is under 16. Unmarried children under 18 can also qualify for payments based on your work history. In contrast, SSI does not provide these dependent benefits. The SSI program strictly considers your individual disability and financial needs.
