According to a social security attorney if you are unable to work because of physical or mental disabilities you may qualify for social security benefits. There are two different types of benefits that an individual can apply for and ultimately, be approved for.

Social Security Disability (SSDI)

SSDI benefits are based on the social security disability law. They are paid to individuals who have worked over a period of time and have paid into the social security system, and then have become disabled and are unable to work. When that person becomes disabled and can no longer work, that person may be eligible to receive SSDI benefits, at which point they can hire a social security disability lawyer in order to follow due process and get the benefits that are rightfully owed. In order to receive this type of benefit the Social Security Administration must make a determination that the individual is disabled. There are many factors that go into this decision. Some of the more important factors are the person’s age, educational background, and work history. Obviously, that individual’s physical and/or mental limitations greatly factor into the decision.

The Social Security Administration relies heavily on a person’s medical records when making the decision whether or not a person is disabled under the law. That is why it is so very important to see your doctor consistently and report to your doctor what physical and/or mental problems you are experiencing. It is also important to follow your doctor’s orders in terms of treatment and medications.

If you are approved for SSDI benefits you will be eligible to receive Medicare benefits, but not until 2 years after your date of entitlement.

Your chances of being approved for SSDI greatly increase if you are represented by a knowledgeable and experienced attorney like Matt Hube.

Supplemental Security Income

SSI benefits are paid to individuals who have never worked before or have not worked recently. There is also a financial component to SSI benefits. In order to be eligible you cannot own in excess of $2,000.00 in assets for an individual and $3,000.00 for a couple. This does not include your home, one vehicle, or your household furnishings. You may earn a very small amount of income and still be eligible for benefits, but the rules also indicate that your spouse’s income will count towards your total income and that can negatively impact your claim. Please be guided with this Disability Benefits Support.

Generally, the Social Security Administration uses the same rules in an SSI and an SSDI case to determine whether someone is disabled.

If you are approved for SSI benefits you will immediately begin receiving Medicaid benefits. This can be vitally important to get the medical care that you need.
