Social Security Disability Attorney in Somerset, Kentucky

A SSDI Lawyer Can Help You Keep Your Disability Benefits

Once you’ve qualified for social security disability benefits, you certainly don’t want to lose them unless you’ve recovered your health and are ready to go back to work. A social security disability attorney advises you as to the guidelines and requirements in order to fulfill the obligations as set forth by the Social Security Administration. These guidelines must be followed or disability benefits could be suspended or stopped, although there are options if this should happen.

Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
The Social Security Administration offers incentives to those people lucky enough to regain their health to a point where they can find gainful employment. Provisions are in place should you suffer from ill-health at a point in the future, such as reinstatement is made easier. In addition, in certain situations a person returning to work after a disability can keep their Medicare coverage for a period of time after their benefits cease. This often fills the gap of medical coverage until any benefits start as provided from the new job.
If you return to work on a part-time basis and exceed $700 in gross earnings per month, your disability benefits will cease once you’ve earned over that amount in nine months out of the year. It is important to note these months do not have to be consecutive. Therefore, if your income fluctuates and nine months out of the year you earned over the threshold, your benefits will be discontinued. Another reason disability benefits may be cut is by not informing the SSA of any change in your medical condition, a change of address, incarceration in jail or prison, or failure to respond appropriately to periodic reviews of your case as requested by the SSA.
Somerset, Kentucky Disability Benefits
Somerset residents must also furnish non-medical information to qualify for disability. This includes your social security number, proof of age, marital status, and employment information. The amount of the disability benefit calculated is based solely on your lifetime earnings and not on the severity of your physical or mental disabilities, although documentation of your medical condition is key to qualifying for benefits in the first place.
A disability attorney will help Somerset residents to gather the required information and present the case to the Social Security Administration. Disability lawyers will also follow through should your claim be initially denied and manage the appeal process. It can take months or even years for a disability claim to be settled and benefits awarded, and often the judgment is retroactive and you will receive back pay for the months you were disabled and did not receive disability benefits.
