What are Social Security Disability Benefits?
The federal government provides individuals who have worked and paid social security taxes with various benefit types that offer support when a disability occurs and for health coverage. These benefits may also include supplemental security income for people with little or no income or resources who suffer a disability, blindness, or are age 65 or older, regardless of work history.
Widows and widowers may receive Social Security disability benefits based on a deceased spouse’s work history. Children may benefit from a parent’s Social Security benefits. Adult disabled children’s benefits may also be available for financial assistance under disability benefit programs.
Social Security disability benefits provide a safety net to protect against the financial risks of disability, retirement, and death. However, applying for these benefits is challenging, and many individuals give up due to the complexities of the application process and denials. An Ardmore Social Security disability attorney can explain the types of benefits and help you file a claim for disability and other benefits.
Are You Eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits?
Using federal guidelines, the Disability Determination Services (DDS) in Oklahoma City, OK, reviews applications submitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA) to determine your medical eligibility for Social Security disability benefits. Anyone can apply for benefits. A determination of benefits eligibility is based on work history, age, income, and resources, and is substantiated by the following:
- A disability’s potential to prevent you from engaging in substantial gainful activity, resulting from a medically determinable physical or mental impairment
- A disability’s duration of at least 12 months
- An expectation that a disability will result in death
Benefits are determined based on your application, the Disability Report Form and Function Report, and documentation by physicians who have treated you for a disability. Qualifying for Social Security Benefits in Oklahoma varies based on the Blue Book’s criteria for evaluating disabilities under Social Security, which provides a Listing of Impairments.
