Do I Qualify For Benefits? |
|
| |
Under the federal Social Security Disability
Act, "disability" means the "inability to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in
death or has lasted or is expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months." |

Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) |
|
| |
Are benefits paid to
individuals who have worked in the recent years.
Usually you have to work 5 out of the last 10
years. For individuals under 31 years old, the
requirements are a little different since they
have not been in the work force as long. The
amount of your SSD income benefit is based on
your reported earnings from work over the period
of your work history. When you are proven
disabled and eligible to receive SSD benefits,
the is a 24 month waiting period before you
become eligible for Medicare coverage. |

Supplemental Security
Income benefits (SSI) |
|
| |
Are paid to individuals who
are low income individuals/families and disabled
whether or not the individual has worked in the
past. SSI child's disability benefits are paid
to children who are less than 18 years old, are
disabled and the parents or guardian are of
lower income. SSI comes with Medicaid in the
state of Texas to cover medical costs and help
with the claimant’s medications. |

How do you qualify for benefits? |
|
| |
The Social Security
Administration (SSA) considers you disabled if
you cannot do the work you did before and you
are unable to adjust to other work because of
your medical condition(s). In addition, your
disability must last or be expected to last for
at least one year or to result in death. Social
Security benefits are paid only in cases of
total disability, not partial or short-term
disability.
That's the short version. The SSA's official
definition of disability is 1,416 words long —
that's three single spaced pages of text. The
complexity of Social Security Disability
requirements is one of the primary reasons
disabled people in Texas rely on the
Representatives of Social Security Claims
Specialists for help in obtaining benefits. |

Your Disabling Condition Alone |
|
| |
You may qualify for Social Security
Disability benefits based solely on the medical
facts of your disability. It your disabling
disease or condition meets the Social Security
Administration's Listing of impairments, you are
automatically qualified to receive Social
Security Disability benefits, regardless of your
age, education, and the type of work you do, so
long as you are not performing substantial work
at the time.. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Your Condition
and Other Factors |
|
| |
You may also qualify for
Social Security Disability benefits through a
combination of factors. The disability
determination can include the medical facts of
your condition, your age, your level of
education, and the type of work you have done in
the past. |
