Many people who have worked in this country want to apply for
Social Security Disability benefits, but are unsure how the claim process works and who is actually eligible for claiming SSDI or DI. The following should give you some important information on SSDI.
Figuring Out Your Work Credit:
In general, an accumulation of forty work credits (twenty in the past ten years) is required for being eligible for SSDI. A worker can accrue up to four credits per year. The Social Security Administration has made some exceptions when it comes to workers of the younger age bracket.
The Waiting Game:
Unless an individual's condition is listed in the "Compassionate Allowance" category, you'll probably have to wait five full calendar months before receiving any benefits from the SSDI. Most people see their first check come in at the beginning of the sixth. If you too are unsure of making a disability claim, you can save yourself the pain by hiring an Advocate in Glendale to appeal your case.
