Are you a Union member worker who:
- Is unable to work due to your disability (your disability does NOT NEED to be a workplace injury)
- Expect to be unable to work for 12 continuous months (Work means punching clock, checking union job boards is not considered “working” by Social Security)
- Cannot perform your trade, or other similar trades, due to your disability
- Are receiving a union pension or expect to receive a union pension
- Wondering whether Social Security disability is available to you, and whether your union pension will interfere with your Social Security disability payment
