What Are Social Security Disability Benefits?
Social Security Disability Insurance provides monthly payments to individuals who cannot work due to a qualifying medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death.
Unlike other government assistance programs, Social Security Disability is an earned benefit based on your work history and contributions to the Social Security system.
Am I Eligible For SSD Benefits?
Qualifying for Social Security Disability requires meeting both medical and nonmedical criteria established by federal regulations. Factors include:
- A severe medical condition that significantly limits your ability to perform basic work activities
- Medical evidence demonstrating your condition meets disability guidelines
- Inability to perform your previous work or adjust to other types of work
- Sufficient work credits earned through Social Security tax contributions over your career
These requirements create a comprehensive evaluation of your medical condition and work history.
What If My Claim Is Denied?
The Social Security Administration initially denies approximately 70% of disability applications, often due to insufficient medical evidence or procedural errors. When your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal through multiple levels of review, including reconsideration, administrative hearings and potential federal court review. Working with experienced Social Security Disability lawyers significantly improves your chances of success.
