You might need them someday. Disability is something you think might not happen to you .But your chances of becoming disabled are probably greater than you realize .
How are benefits paid?
We pay disability benefits under two programs :The Social Security disability insurance program, which pays benefits to you and certain family members if you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes .Your adult child also may qualify for benefits on your earnings record if he or she has a disability that started before age 22 . Also, The Supplemental Security Income SSI program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources .
Are you looking for any information on medical requirements for benefits and how the process goes?
Yes, tell me
the medical requirements are the same under both programs and disability is determined by the same process. we will ask you for information about your medical condition , work , and education history to help us decide if you are disabled under our rules .
Can I get help preparing my application from a pro or something?
Yes, it's up to you if you get help, but there are some things you should know If you are getting helped with your application by an Advocate , Attorney , or Third Party Representative
