Hialeah Social Security Disability Lawyers
If you or a family member has been severely hurt - or diagnosed with a dangerous or deadly illness - you may want to explore Hialeah Social Security Disability compensation. The Social Security Act stipulates that an employee who can no longer "engage in any substantial gainful activity" because of mental or physical problems can immediately begin to collect benefits. This essay will answer some crucial questions you might have about this program.
What is Supplementary Security Income?
Supplementary security income - also known as SSI - is another entitlement program that can provide additional benefits to certain claimants - on top of Social Security disability benefits.
Will I collect Medicare benefits if I am on SSI or Social Security Disability?
If you are on SSI, you won't get Medicare. But, if you are simply on Social Security Disability, and you wait two years, you will also be able to collect Medicare.
How can I apply?
Your local Hialeah Social Security office can take care of your application. You can alternatively call and do a phone interview to move your claim forward.
How much money will I collect?
The cash amount will depend on circumstances like how much you've earned to-date and how long you have worked.
Do I have to wait until my sick leave runs out to start collecting?
No. If you are on leave from your work, and a doctor diagnoses you with a severe illness or chronic medical condition, you should get your claim started ASAP, so you don't suffer any "gap" in coverage. The same is true for workers' compensation - if you are on workers comp, you can still collect Social Security Disability, and you should get that process started quickly.
What if I am only partially disabled or if my doctor does not believe that I meet the threshold for Social Security Disability benefits? What options do I have?
You may still be eligible for short-term disability through other programs such as Hialeah workers' compensation through your work.
How long do I have to wait before filing?
You don't have to wait at all - literally on the day you get diagnosed with your illness or condition, you can file the paperwork.
