SSD Claims Application

The Social Security Disability Application Process

To apply for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, you must meet a wide range of criteria:

• You cannot continue in your line of work, nor can you adjust to other work because of your medical condition.
• Your disability has lasted or is expected to last at least one year or result in death.
• You must have worked long enough, and recently enough, to have sufficiently contributed to the Social Security system.
• While you can apply for disability even if you continue working part time, your average monthly earnings cannot exceed approximately $830.
• Other factors will be looked at as well, such as your age, education and vocational background.

After you have determined that you meet the criteria to apply for disability, you send in your disability claim and wait. The average wait time is four months, depending on what state you are in. When you get your response, you open your letter and, if you are like countless other people who apply for disability benefits, you will be denied.

The process does not have to stop there.
