Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits May Be Subject To Review

According to the National Ledger, Social Security Disability benefits are available to individuals who meet the disability criteria set by the Social Security Administration. Social Security Disability Insurance is not a welfare program. Individuals earn their SSDI benefits by working and contributing to the Social Security fund through their payroll taxes.

Also, when a disability claim is approved, it is automatically set up for recurring reviews. Disability benefits are not permanent and are subject to reviews depending on the severity of the disability. For example, if a claimant has an impairment that has a high likelihood of recovery, the SSA will most likely schedule a review within a year or two of the date the claim was approved. Other claims may be scheduled for a review every three years, depending on the disability. Even cases involving the most severe disability, such as those with little or no chance of improvement, are subject to reviews every seven years.

Social Security Disability Insurance is a federally mandated program overseen by the Social Security Administration. The program operates differently from retirement or Supplemental Security Income. In order to qualify, a claimant must have worked and paid into the program through payroll taxes, and must have met the SSA’s definition of disabled before reaching full retirement age.

The program also has no requirements for how long a claimant must wait before applying. If you have a disability that is severe or permanent and that will keep you from working for 12 months or longer, you can apply immediately for Social Security Disability benefits upon stopping work.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    Steve Troutman was able to get my short-term and long-term disability for me. Then Erin another lawyer for their firm got my Social security disability for me. Great people.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.
