When a person is disabled due to illness or injury and wants to file a SSDI application for Social Security disability benefits, they may wonder how their personal financial situation affects the claim. They may have been working for years and have acquired certain financial holdings such as a house, stocks, and other investments. They may also have a spouse who is earning an income. Many ask if a person with in this financial situation can be approved for social security disability benefits.

The answer is yes, providing they apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) and not Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI). Every worker contributes to SSD through FICA taxes deducted from their paycheck. If they can prove they are unable to work for at least a year due to an illness or injury, then they can receive SSD benefits. There is no income or financial levels involved.  SSI is a welfare program for disabled people. It is available to anyone, even those who have never worked. However, the benefit levels are lower, and the person cannot exceed a certain income amount. If they take a part time job and go over the income limit they will lose their SSI disability benefits. Experienced disability social security lawyers can help people review their information and determine the best way to file a claim for disability benefits.

Corsicana, Texas Disability Benefits
Corsicana was one of the first places in Texas where oil was discovered, helping to set off the oil boom years. It happened in 1894 when the Corsicana Water Development authority hired some prospectors to find water and they discovered oil instead. The oil field found in Corsicana was the first in Texas to be commercially viable and bought in a number of workers. A second field was found in 1923, and then in 1956 a large oil and gas field was discovered. With every new find, new residents flooded into the region.

But not everyone who came worked in the oil fields. In 1895 a little lunch wagon opened up, offering bowls of chili, which eventually grew into Wolf Brand Chili. A year later, in 1896, the Collin Street Bakery started up and it has been providing fruitcakes ever since and is today one of the largest employers in the area. Other large employers include Russell Stover’s Candies, Guardian Glass Industry, and Corsicana Bedding. There are also distribution centers for Kohl’s and Home Depot, employing many in Corsicana and from nearby communities like Barry, Powell, and Blooming Grove.
