Defendant's Attorney: Richard J. Scherle
Description: Council Bluffs, Iowa social security disability lawyer represented Petitioner seeking review of the denial of her application for SSID benefits by HHS.
he SSDI program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are “insured.” This means that you worked long enough – and recently enough - and paid Social Security taxes on your earnings. The SSI program pays benefits to adults and children who meet our requirements for a qualifying disability and have limited income and resources.
While these two programs are different, the medical requirements are the same. If you meet the nonmedical requirements, monthly benefits are paid if you have a medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death.
Whether you apply online, by phone, or in person, the disability benefits application process follows these general steps:
You gather the information and documents you need to apply. We recommend you print and review the Adult Disability Checklist. It will help you gather the information and documents you need to complete the application.
You complete and submit your application.
We review your application to make sure you meet our basic requirements for disability benefits.
We confirm you worked enough years to qualify.
We evaluate any current work activities.
We process your application and forward your case to the Disability Determination Services office in your state.
This state agency makes the disability determination decision.
