Disability

Social Security Disability Attorney

If illness or health problems prevent you from being gainfully employed for more than 12 months, applying for Social Security Disability may be necessary for you to go on with your life.

• To qualify for Social Security Disability, you must have worked in jobs covered by Social Security. Then you must have a medical condition meeting Social Security’s official definition of a “disability.”
• Benefits continue until you are able to return to work on a regular basis. Rules called “work incentives” can provide continued benefits and health care coverage as you make the transition back to work.
