Description:
Minneapolis, Minnesota social security disability lawyer represented Plaintiff seeking review of the denial of her applicaiton for Social Security: SSID Tit. XVI by HHS.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to people who are unable to work due to a disability. To qualify for SSDI, you must meet the following requirements:
You must be 18 years old or older.
You must have worked in jobs covered by Social Security for a certain number of years.
You must have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to a medical condition that has lasted or is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death. SGA is defined as work that pays at least $1,350 per month in 2023.
If you meet the requirements for SSDI, you will be awarded a monthly benefit amount based on your earnings history. The average monthly benefit for SSDI recipients in 2022 was $1,255.
There is a five-month waiting period before you will start receiving SSDI benefits. If you are approved for SSDI, your benefits will be backdated to the first day of the month after you became disabled.
You can apply for SSDI online or by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. The SSA will ask you for information about your medical condition, your work history, and your income.
The SSA will make a decision on your application within 60 days. If your application is denied, you can appeal the decision.
If you are approved for SSDI, you will need to report any changes in your medical condition or your income to the SSA. You will also need to complete a Continuing Disability Review (CDR) every few years to ensure that you continue to meet the requirements for benefits.
SSDI benefits can be a lifeline for people who are unable to work due to a disability. If you think you may qualify for SSDI, you should apply as soon as possible.
