Facebook Can Affect Your Disability Benefits

Facebook and other social media sites have been known to wreck marriages, end jobs and prompt many an awkward conversation. But did you know that the information you post on your social media pages can affect your chances of qualifying for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA)?

Be mindful what you post on your social media profiles. Though you may think these profiles are private, much of this “personal” information can be obtained quite easily, and the SSA may get the wrong impression about your history, activities or lifestyle and use that to deny your application for benefits. For instance, if you have Facebook photos of you drinking alcohol, you might be denied benefits if your disability can be exacerbated or caused by substance abuse. You do not have control over how this information is perceived by others, and it could severely damage your chances at gaining benefits or even cause you to lose them.

    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.

    - Billy S.

    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.
