WHAT ARE THE RULES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASES ?




This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled.

The rules and requirements for social security disability cases are fairly simple.

Essentially, to be eligible for either ssd or ssi disability, a claimant must have a condition that is severe and prevents them from working at any one of their past jobs, or working any other type of job, while earning at least a certain amount each month.

To learn what this amount is, visit this page: the earnings limit for disability.

Other rules, of course, also apply to disability cases. The most obvious is that a claimant's disability must last, or be expected to last, for at least a year for social security disability or ssi disability benefits to be awarded.

Additionally, if a claimant is filing for ssi, they will have to meet asset resource requirements to maintain eligiblity for benefits. Basically, this means not having countable assets over a $2000.00 limit (however, certain assets will never be counted in this total, such as a claimant's primary vehicle or the home the claimant resides in).
