Social Security Disability Insurance

Social Security Disability Insurance is a federal program that provides assistance to people with disabilities. Workers who have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of a disability, are entitled to collect benefits while they are unable to work. Benefits are paid monthly to people unable to work for one year or more because of a disability. The application process is complex and normally takes sixty to ninety days. There is than a six month waiting period before the first benefit check arrives.

You are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits if you are unable to work due to a medical or mental impairment which can be expected to last twelve months, which has lasted twelve months or will result in death. You must also be unable to work at any other gainful employment because of your impairment.

The Social Security Disability Insurance system can be a challenge to understand for most people. People with deserving Social Security Disability claims are often denied. The sooner a Social Security Disability attorney is involved in your case, the better the outcome will be for you.
