I Will Handle Your Claim

A severe injury can leave a victim unable to work for an extended period of time. Managing an injury and being unable to work is a complicated and financially distressing situation. To ensure people in this situation are financially supported, the United States established the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.

People who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits must apply for the program and ensure they meet all the requirements for receiving the benefits. This can be a complicated process that involves many legal considerations. The assistance of a lawyer can help you receive the benefits you need.

About the Social Security Disability Program

The Social Security Disability Insurance program is a benefit program that is led by the federal government and funded by taxes. The program provides financial support to people who have worked in jobs and have contributed to Social Security in the past, yet are currently unable to work due to a disability. In general, people who qualify for SSDI benefits must be unable to work for at least a year.

A person must have earned enough “work credits” before becoming disabled to qualify for SSDI benefits. “Work credits” are a concept that quantifies an SSDI applicant’s past work experience. The amount of earned wages that equate to one work credit changes every year. The amount of work credits that are required to qualify for the program depends on the age of the applicant and when credits were earned. Work credits generally equate to a certain amount of years of work. The Social Security Administration provides a table that lists the number of years of work that an applicant must have based on age.

There are some exceptions to the typical work credit structure. I can provide more information about the details of the Social Security Disability Insurance program during your free consultation.

Social Security Disability Benefits

Primarily, the Social Security Disability Insurance program is an income replacement program. The purpose of the program is to provide financial support for people with disabilities who cannot work, as well as their families who depend on them for income. The previous wages of a person who qualifies for SSDI benefits does not affect their ability to earn benefits, but does affect the amount they may earn. People in any income bracket can receive SSDI benefits, but benefit amounts are based on financial need.
