OVERVIEW OF SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE/ SOCIAL SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME



Social Security Disability Insurance is essentially a disability insurance program administered by the Social Security Administration. In order to be awarded these benefits, you must meet two requirements. First, you must have worked a sufficient length of time and earned enough money to have this insurance coverage, which is what Social Security calls having "insured status". Secondly, you must be disabled as defined under Social Security Law.

Proving that you are disabled (as defined by Social Security Law), can be very difficult. You do not automatically receive disability benefits simply because you cannot return to your past jobs. Rather, Social Security Law requires a thorough analysis of all of the medical evidence in your case to determine if there are other jobs you can perform, even if you cannot perfom your past work any longer.

An attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability Law is an important asset in providing that you are disabled, by both obtaining the necessary medical evidence to support your claim and convincing the Judge that you are disabled. The attorneys at Morascyzk, Stopperich & Associates have over 50 years of combined experience in representing claimants in their Social Security Disability hearings.

At Mosrascyzk, Stopperich & Associates, you are never just another case. You get our personal attention backed by a vast amount of experience.
