Do you Qualify for a Disability Claim?
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Disability claims benefits from the Social Security department is put in place to financially supplement individuals who are medically authorized not to work for a period of at least 12 months, or if your condition has been determined to lead to certain death. Those who require less than 12 months of supplementation will not qualify for social security disability benefits. Benefits from social security are awarded to those who have been working in recent years. Generally it is a rule that you should have had to work at least 5 out of the last 10 years. If you are under the age of 31, the requirements are different as your time out in the work world is shorter than those over the age of 31 years old.
