Understanding Social Security
Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI):
Under the federal Social Security Disability Act,
"disability" means the
"inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any
medically determinable physician or mental impairment which can be
expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months or result in death."
Social
Security Disability (SSD)
Social Security Disability benefits or SSD
are paid to individuals who have worked in the recent years. Usually you
have to work 5 out of the last 10 years. For individuals under 31 years
old, the requirements are a little different since they have not been in
the work force as long.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Supplemental Security Income benefits or SSI
are paid to individuals whom are lower level income and disabled whether or not the
individual has worked in the past. SSI child's disability benefits are
paid to children who are under 18 years old, are disabled and the parents
or guardian are of lower level income.

You should file as soon as it is determined that you
will not be able to work during the next 12 months or your condition is
expected to lead to death. However Social Security is not a short term
disability. Therefore if you have an accident where you cannot work for
several days or even a few months, you will not be entitled to Social
Security Disability benefits.
What You Should Know About Filing a
Disability Claim:
How much Social Security Disability or SSi benefits an
individual will get depends on how much that individual worked in the past
and earned during that time or in the case of SSi it depends on the
individual's claim circumstances . For disabled widow's, it depends on how
much the spouse earned and for a disabled child, it depends on how much
the parent earned.

stage, the Hearing stage is where the individual actually has a hearing in
front of an Administrative Law Judge. The hearing is informal with only
the judge, his secretary and often times the judge will have a vocational
expert present to testify as to what jobs the individual can perform.

the back benefits up to a certain amount which has been set by law.
