A Crescent City SSDI Lawyer Can Assist in Disability Benefits Filing

A diagnosis of a disabling condition is distressing and can have devastating effects on a family unit. Hopefully, it is not a lifelong condition, but any disability diagnosis for the purpose of filing a disability claim must last, or be expected to last, at least twelve months or longer. If your medical condition is not expected to last that long, your claim for disability benefits will be denied.

Or call the Social Security Administration's national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
The ultimate goal is to recover from your impairment and be well enough to return to work. However, if this were to happen, how does it affect your social security disability claim? There are many variables, and an experienced disability attorney can explain all the ramifications of your particular case to you, since everyone’s situations are unique. However, the basic rule of thumb is, you may be employed while receiving social security disability benefits, as long as you do not exceed the financial threshold as determined by the Social Security Administration, which at the current time has been established at $1000 per month. It is adjusted annually to account for inflation and cost of living.
If you are unemployed and have filed for benefits or are receiving disability benefits, you may attempt to go back to work. If you are unable to continue working due to medical concerns, anything under two months is considered by the Social Security Administration as a “failed” attempt and will not impact your benefits. Keep in mind if you are employed and earn more than the threshold amount for nine months or more, your claim could be suspended. Note, too, these do not have to be consecutive months.
Crescent City Disability Benefits
It is possible for Crescent City residents to work and receive Social Security disability benefits. The SSA bases their determination of disability on your past work history and how your current medical condition impacts your ability to sustain and perform Substantial Gainful Activity, or in other words, earn a comparable living to what you enjoyed before diagnosed.
As mentioned above, there are many variables that can impact your disability claim, whether you are currently receiving disability benefits or have just filed. In either case, it is a good idea to consult with your disability attorney to understand your options so you can make the best decision about your own situation.
