What is Social Security Disability?

When you can’t work because you have become disabled, you are essentially experiencing an enforced retirement due to a disability. But not the kind of retirement you might have been hoping to enjoy. However, your disability doesn’t need to be a disaster. Social Security Disability (SSD) insurance pays monthly cash benefits to people who have paid enough FICA taxes to qualify, and are now unable to work because of a disability. After a 29 month waiting period, Social Security Disability eligibility also allows provides you with Medicare benefits — even if you are under age 65. And having health insurance from Medicare is a great thing when you have a disability requires a lot of treatment.

Many people turn to attorneys or advocates for help with obtaining Social Security Disability benefits. At Binder & Binder®, the Social Security Disability Advocates, we ask people to contact us as soon as you and your doctors agree that your disability is likely to last a long time.
