Downingtown Social Security Disability Attorneys

Resolving Social Security Disability Claims in Downingtown, PA

Many people are unable to work long before they reach retirement age. Estimates from the Social Security Administration (SSA) suggest more than 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before reaching the average age for retirement (67). Nevertheless, 67% of today’s workforce has no long-term disability insurance. As a result, the SSA steps in to pay disability benefits for many people, young and old. Nearly 9 out of 10 people age 65 and older receive Social Security benefits, and in 2020, the SSA plans to issue over one trillion dollars to about 65 million people nationwide. Nevertheless, many people have their claims for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits denied. If you are eligible for SSD benefits, you may need an attorney to help you present your case.

Our Downingtown social security disability lawyers at Rubin & Badame, Attorneys at Law, P.C. can:

  • determine if you are eligible for benefits
  • help you apply
  • appeal SSD denials
  • make sure you are maximizing the value you of your benefits

Am I Eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits?

To find out if you qualify for social security disability benefits, you need to understand the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.

You must also meet the following requirements to be eligible for SSD benefits:

  • You are under the current retirement age
  • You have a qualifying disability, as defined by the SSA
  • Your disability will last at least 1 year or result in death
  • You have worked long enough – and recently enough – to be insured under the SSDI program
  • You have paid Social Security taxes on your earnings
  • You have paid FICA taxes for 5 of the last 10 years
  • You have the required work credits for your age

Unfortunately, Social Security benefits do not apply to people who are partially disabled or even those with short-term disabilities. If you do qualify, however, you will need to gather documentation for all the points listed above.

You must also present this documentation in a certain way, which is where our Downingtown social security disability attorneys come into play.
