How Social Security Benefits Work

Most people think of Social Security as something you get when you retire. In truth, it’s also something that is in place to provide financial support for those individuals who cannot work due to physical or mental limitations. In order to apply for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), you must be disabled for at least 12 months or more.

TO be qualified as “disabled” according to the government, you must meet several criteria:

  1. You can no longer do your prior work
  2. The Social Security Administration decides that you can’t perform other work due to your medical condition
  3. Your disability has already lasted for at least a year, or is expected to last a year, or will likely result in death.

The Complexities of SSDI

These qualifications might seem very simple, but there are many people across Colton who have discovered that there are many complexities involved. In fact, in their efforts to prevent Social Security fraud, the government can be very overzealous in denying benefits applications. This can be frustrating and terrifying to those people who desperately need these benefits because they have no other way to make ends meet.

Just because you are denied benefits, however, that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. While it is certainly scary and stressful at a time when you don’t need more stress, you can still fight for your benefits. Doing so, however, may require experienced and knowledgeable help from someone who cares about your situation and knows how to prove that you are disabled and entitled to these benefits.
