Qualifying For And Collecting Social Security Disability Benefits
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are available to Ohioans with work histories who are unable to work for a year or longer because of one or more disabilities. When on-the-job injuries lead to permanent disability, Social Security Disability (SSD) may offer much-needed additional income. Furthermore, anyone who is eligible for SSD benefits is also eligible for Medicare after a 24-month qualifying period.
One or a combination of various medical conditions may render an individual eligible for Social Security (SSD) benefits, irrespective of the origin of an injury, illness or chronic ailment. Disabled workers may contend with cancer or other grave health concerns that are unrelated to their employment, lost earnings, or any legal claims. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are dispensed through a federally administered program. The SSD is financed by payroll and income taxes collected from the workforce. It operates independently of and is not contingent upon, a workers’ compensation case or a personal injury lawsuit. Nevertheless, numerous individuals find it advantageous to collaborate with a single attorney to address multiple legal matters following an occupational injury.

When an application is rejected, an applicant has a right to request reconsideration. Time is of the essence. Requests for reconsiderations and appeals must be made in a timely manner, otherwise, the person may lose the right to have their case reviewed.
