General Information about Social Security Disability
The Social Security Administration oversees more than retirement income. The Social Security Disabilities Act governs the Social Security monetary benefits, which are determined by your age and current income. If you are permanently disabled and are also unable to work for at least one full year due to a medically determined physical or mental condition, or if your condition will result in death, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability.
To qualify for benefits, you need to have documentation support your claim and complete specific forms. When, where and how to file may become complicated. If your case is denied, it may be appealed. If you have any questions on this complicated process, an experienced Social Security Disability attorney will be able to answer these, assisting you in every step.
Social Security Disability is one of the benefits in the comprehensive federal benefits program that also provides workers with retirement income, Medicare, family benefits, and survivors' benefits. This program is funded with withholding FICA taxes from an employee's paycheck. These amounts are matched by the employer. The Social Security Administration reviews, pays and governs Disability Benefits. The Social Security Disability Act includes the law that governs a person's qualification for benefits.
