Disability Attorney Greensboro
A disability attorney in Greensboro can assist with your SSDI application. Social Security disability insurance is administered through the Social Security Administration. If you have paid FICA taxes for at least ten years, you may be eligible for benefits.
Disabled workers must have earned sufficient income in the previous ten years. Otherwise, they will not have paid enough in employment taxes when they apply. A fully insured worker must be credited with at least 20 quarters of earnings in the past ten years. If they do not have that many, they can extend the search beyond ten years, but they will need 40 quarters.
Supplemental Security Income
SSI differs from SSDI because of its eligibility requirements. SSI does not require that individuals have the employment history required by SSDI. If you are disabled and unable to work, you may apply for SSI.
If you qualify for SSI, you likely qualify for Medicaid, so you can use it to pay for the hospital. You can qualify for this program if you are over 65 or blind, but you must meet income criteria.
Childhood SSI
To be eligible for benefits, children must be either blind or disabled and under 18. Eligible children may apply for benefits as soon as the day they are born.
Disabled Widow’s Benefits
If disabled people die while receiving benefits, a surviving spouse can claim them. They must be between 50 and 60 years old, and they must have been married for at least nine months.
