When a person is afflicted with a psychological or physical disability such that he may not be in a position to do any kind of work for at least a year or for the rest of his life, then the person will be treated as disabled for Social Security purposes. Under Social Security Disability program a disabled person is entitled to a Federal income supplement funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes).
As a disabled covered by Social Security statutes, a person is eligible for any one of the four separate benefit programs guaranteed by the state. These include Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income, Disabled Widows and Widowers benefits (DWB), and Disabled Adult Child Benefits (DAC). To be eligible for each of these programs, you need to undergo similar medical tests for disability determinations.
A disabled person is entitled for benefits prescribed under SSDI statutes only if the person and his or her family members are “insured”. For this, one needs to have worked for a considerable time and duly paid his or her Social Security taxes. After 24 months of receiving SSDI benefits, the disabled person would automatically get enrolled into Medicare programs.
Initial claims for disability benefit funding are often denied, depending on the state in which you have filed. Hiring a qualified social security disability attorney can help you get full claims. The attorney will represent your case in the court. With the help of an attorney, you can get past due benefits and even continue getting future benefits.
The best way to initiate your claims for social security is to consult a Social Security Disability attorney.
