What Are the Kinds of Social Security Disability Benefits?

There are three types of social security disability benefits.

• Disability Insurance Benefits (SSD or SSDI) are the most common disability benefits provided by the SSA. These disability benefits cover millions of people who were recently employed but are now disabled. People who worked a total of at least five of the 10 years before they became disabled may qualify for SSDI. Their spouses or dependent children may also be eligible for benefits. The amount of benefits awarded depends on the applicant’s work history and prior earnings.
• Disabled Adult Child Benefits (DAC) are benefits given to qualified disabled adults between the ages of 18 and 22 if their parents receive social security retirement benefits or social security disability benefits, or if their parents are deceased.
• Disabled Widow or Widower (DWB) are provided to widows or widowers over 50 who were married for at least ten years and become disabled within seven years of their spouses’ death.

Process of Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

1. Your social security disability lawyer will help you prepare your claim, including gathering documents and making sure you collect all the required information. You may be required to provide documentation on your family makeup, military history, IRS forms, bank statements, detailed medical records and referrals, medical history, and employment history. The required documentation depends on the applicant’s specific situation, so having an attorney to guide and help you can be very beneficial.
2. Your attorney can keep track of your submitted claim and also alert you to any new requests for information. They are authorized to communicate with the SSA on your behalf. They also will keep you informed about the process.
3. If your application is approved, your attorney will evaluate the SSA’s calculations to make sure no errors were made and that you are getting all the benefits to which you are entitled.
4. If your application is denied, your attorney can help you file an appeal, if an appeal is indicated.
