Applying For Social Security DENIALS

People typically think of Social Security Benefits as those received by retired persons that finance daily living.

Within this umbrella, there are also Social Security Disability Benefits that are available to those unable to work who are not yet of retirement age.

The two programs are the Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income disability programs. These are the biggest of numerous Federal programs that supply financial support to persons who have disabilities. Although the two programs differ in several ways, the Social Security Administration of the United States manages both. To qualify for benefits under either program, you must be an individual who has a disability and meets certain medical qualifications.

Social Security Disability Insurance provides benefits to you and some members of your family if you are “insured,” which means that you were employed long enough and paid Social Security taxes.

Supplemental Security Income provides benefits according to financial need.

You can apply for Disability benefits online, or if it is your preference, you can apply by calling the Social Security Administration’s toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Make an appointment with the representative with whom you speak for your application to be taken over the telephone or at any convenient Social Security office.

• Investigate why your case was denied.

• Consider hiring an experienced disability attorney to assist you in the process of appealing the denial.

• Get in touch with the Social Security office (or your attorney) and ask for an appeal.

• If you have become disabled, it is imperative you apply for benefits as soon as possible. Some things to keep in mind:

• If you apply for Social Security, those disability benefits will not start until you have been disabled for six full months. The disability waiting period for Social Security starts with the first full month after the date the Social Security Administration establishes your disability began.

• If you apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the administration pays SSI disability benefits for the first full month following the date you filed your claim otherwise, it is on the date you qualify for SSI.

It’s amazing to realize most people do not appeal their disability claim denials. Those who need disability benefits and have applied either file their appeal too late, file a new claim or give up on the process altogether. If you fail to appeal in a timely manner or file a new claim, either will result in the same outcome: a loss of appeal rights and the need to start again with a new Social Security Disability or SSI application.
