Many people become disabled before retirement age, and the chances that a person will lose the ability to work before that time are higher than a lot of people might think.
Social Security disability pays benefits based on a person’s past work history. If they become unable to work, they can apply for disability benefits that will pay every month through the Social Security Administration. Two different programs pay through SSA for disability. They are the Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income. Find out more about filing for social security disability in Kansas City.
Social Security Disability Insurance is a program that insures workers for times when they may be injured or ill and are unable to work as a result of their health. There are no premiums to pay, and taxes for Social Security are automatically deducted from each paycheck.
To qualify for Social Security Disability, people need to have earned a certain amount of money and worked for a certain amount of time to earn work credits. There is also the possibility of the SSA taking into account the income of a spouse. The number of work credits needed to qualify is different based on the age the person attained before they became disabled.
They have strict requirements for approval of disability benefits, including meeting their requirements for being disabled, and that the person is unable to perform their job duties based on this disability.
