No problem. Disability benefits are a kind of benefit which is paid to those persons that can't work because some medical issue, which could result in a long inactivity period or even death.
Are you currently receiving disability benefits?
No, i'm not.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
So, i suppose i can apply and see if i'm eligible, huh?
That's correct. it would depend on your disability, though.
Good. Would you complete your application on any other language?
No, i prefer English for doing this.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
Can you tell me if there is another way to apply, please?
Of course. you can use our toll free number or if you like, you can go visit your local Social Security office. If you go with the last option, please call beforehand to make an appointment.
May I ask anything else now that I won't need it? What does the Appeals Council do if I'm rejected and want a review?
The Appeals Council looks at all requests for review but it may deny a request if it believes the hearing decision was supported and in accordance with social security law and regulations .
Another question I have would be, does the Appeals Council examine all applications, does it do so efficiently? What if they have been receiving SSI on their own record? Are there other options?
