What is SSDI?
Managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal insurance program designed to provide monthly benefits to people who are unable to work due to a disability.
If you have worked and paid Social Security taxes for 5 out of the last 10 years and are now completely disabled due to illness or injury, you may qualify for SSDI benefits. To do so, you must be able to prove to the SSA that you cannot perform your former job or any other type of work now that you are disabled. In addition, your condition must also be expected to last for at least 12 months.
To calculate your SSDI benefit amount, the SSA uses a formula based on your average lifetime earnings and the total number of years you have worked. If you have a family, you could receive additional benefits of up to 50% of your own monthly benefit amount.
We can help you obtain your Social Security Disability benefits
When making a decision on an SSDI case, the SSA carefully considers all the information about the case to ensure that any action it takes that will affect your eligibility or benefit amount is correct. In the event that your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision and request the SSA to look at your case again. If you request an appeal, the SSA will then reconsider the entire decision, even the facts that were in your favor.
When it comes to making a successful SSDI claim, being well prepared and having your paperwork in order is imperative. At LaPorte Law Firm, we understand how challenging applying for SSDI benefits can be.
