Social Security Disability
Florida injury lawyers focusing on social security disability for injured victims throughout Florida including the greater Miami and Ft. Lauderdale areas.
If you are unable to work as a result of age, medical condition, or mental condition, you or your family may be qualified for Social Security Disability (SSD) compensation. Social security disability is designed to provide you with compensation if you are unable to perform gainful work of any kind for a period of no less than one year.
In order to receive compensation, the claimant must have earned social security credits from working at a job where they received social security credits from their paychecks. Also, the onset of the disability must have occurred no more than ten years after they stopped working.
For a social security disability claim, the Social Security Administration keeps track of the number of credits you have earned throughout your earning history. Depending on the number of credits that you have, the Social Security Administration will determine if you qualify for social security disability.
Also, there is Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income is designed to help older, blind, or disabled people that have little or no income gain compensation to help pay for food, clothing, and shelter. In order to qualify for Supplemental Security Income, the claimant must be disabled and their resources or money cannot exceed a certain amount.
The best way to determine if you qualify for either Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income is to contact a qualified social security attorney, like those at Chalik & Chalik.

This means that you don't have to spend your valuable time and effort dealing with the claim process, because your social security attorney can perform the complex tasks the Social Security Administration might require.
