Episode 84: Calloway County social security disability attorney Jeff Roberts explains a recent change to the social security disability look-back period. This refers to the number of years they have to look back over your previous work history to see if you could perform a different job, rather than receiving disability benefits. The change is actually favorable to people who are applying for social security disability. The Job History Look-Back Period This period is used by the Social Security Administration with both social security disability insurance (SSDI) claims and in supplemental security income (SSI) claims. The objective is to determine whether you have transferrable skills, based on previous employment experience, that could enable you to seek other jobs, instead of receiving disability benefits. Jeff points out that this is particularly relevant in the case of older applicants. If you can't return to the type of work you've previously performed, you might have a better chance of qualifying for disability benefits. For instance, assume you have previous experience working a cash register, but later began working in construction. If you then suffer a construction injury and decide to file for SSDI, the Social Security Administration may question if you'd still be able to return to a job working a cash register, as long as that duty was performed during the look-back period. It's very important that you complete the job history form as honestly and as completely as possible. You'll need to discuss your job history with your attorney so he/she has a full understanding of your unique situation. The previous job history look-back period was 15 years. As of June 2024, that period is now limited to the past 5 years. As Jeff notes, the chance that how a job is performed looking back over 5 years ago is probably fairly similar to how it's performed today. However, how it was done 13-14 years ago could be significantly different compared to today. You might not have the current skills require to perform that job now. In Episode 67, Jeff focused specifically on Social Security Disability Form 3369. This is the form used for your job history report. The Look-Back Period Is for SSDI and SSI Claims Jeff explains the Social Security Administration offer 2 disability programs. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applies to people who are disabled after establishing the required number of quarters actively employed. You must meet the insured status requirements. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is not employment-based, but it is means-tested (i.e. based on income). SSI often applies to people who were born with or developed disabilities, such as blindness, issues related to cognitive ability, diseases and/or other conditions. The look-back period of 5 years is not as relevant, now, for someone making a claim for SSI disability benefits. It would apply to applicants who have had sporadic work, during the past 5 years. You can listen to Episode 37, Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits, for more information about which of the two programs you may be able to use. In Episode 42, Jeff answered the question, “What is a Continuing Disability Review?” The change in the look-back period should not have any impact on a continuing disability review, because the person would have to already be receiving benefits, before their situation is reviewed. The episode explains what can trigger a review and what typically happens. The good news is that during a review, the Social Security Administration is now limited to going back 5 years. Jeff Handles Injuries that May Result in a Disability Claim For the past 32 years, Jeff has handled various types of personal injury claims including automobile accidents. He has also built a successful reputation for handling workers' compensation claims. Both of these may ultimately result in a claim for social security disability. Jeff is able to handle every step of this process for each of the claims, which is not as common among attorneys as you might think. What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff?

Episode 78: Calloway County social security disability attorney Jeff Roberts discusses various factors such as a law suit settlement, lottery winnings and other income that could negatively impact social security disability benefits. There are 2 Different Social Security Disability Programs Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are two different programs under the Social Security Administration. Jeff explains that the disability determination is the same for both programs. If you are considered disabled for one of the programs, you're also considered disabled for the other program. Benefits under the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program are based on what you paid into the system, over a specified period of time. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are paid on a financial need basis. SSI considers the income (and need) of the entire household, not just the disabled individual.

This week we will discuss Social Security Disability Benefits with our guest David Dodge. David Dodge is the Case Manager at Community Action of Orleans and Genesee in Batavia, NY. Prior to this role, David was an Independent Living Specialist and Facilitated Enroller at Independent Living of the Genesee Region. At Independent Living, David earned his Work Incentive Practitioner credential from Cornell University. David serves as the Vice President of the Genesee County Interagency Council, a consortium of providers, Secretary of GLOW Out, a four-county LGBTQ+ advocacy group, member of the Domestic Violence Taskforce, and member of the Batavia Lions Club. David lives in Le Roy, NY with two extremely sassy cats. One point of contention I had in my mind as a bias was concerning the doctors that examine you in order to be considered medically un-employable. David put my worries to rest when he details the process which you can also find here: A consultative exam specifically evaluates your health to confirm it matches what you said in your SSD claim. The doctor who performs the exam will: Look for evidence that supports your SSD claim (or contradicts it). This may include running tests, having you answer some questions, ordering x-rays/MRI or CT scans, etc. Document whether your condition, illness, or injury might prevent you from working like you normally would. This includes listing reasons why you can't perform your normal job duties full-time or do other work. This is not an exam that your family doctor can likely perform. Why? Because the SSA must certify a doctor to perform that specific exam according to their rules and regulations. Every doctor who does consultative exams is independent of the SSA. Instead, this doctor works as a contractor with the SSA to perform these exams in addition to their own personal practice. I consider this to be a very important topic and I hope it assists those with Long COVID as they trudge through the system for monetary relief!

File for Social Security Disability Benefits

Episode 22: Jeff Roberts, a personal injury attorney in Murray Kentucky, also handles social security disability claims for his clients. He's handled social security cases since 1992, when he first began practicing. These cases have to do with disability or SSI, not social security retirement issues. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a benefit for those who have met the requirements for work history and what has been paid into the system. These benefits help people when they become disabled. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is paid out based on financial need. People who receive the SSI benefits typically have little to no income. The disability requirements are the same for SSDI and SSI. The non-disability requirements, however, are different. SSDI claims can be filed at the same time as a KY workers' compensation claim, a state disability retirement claim and sometimes a personal injury claim. Jeff explains that it may be beneficial to have an attorney who can handle these multiple claims from a case expense and an efficiency basis. The attorney would be familiar with the status of each claim and can manage the overlap so as to maximize the potential financial benefits for the clients. At times, if the claims are properly managed, the settlement agreement of one of the claims could negatively impact the amount of the benefit of the other, related claims. Social Security Disability Insurance In a nutshell, to qualify for SSDI, assuming you've met the work history requirement, is that you are unable to currently work a 40-hour work week. There are Listings of Impairment that can be considered in determining a person's eligibility for disability. Depending upon the types or number of listings, a person may qualify fairly easily (e.g. inoperable cancer). You may not need to hire an attorney if you meet the proper criteria. Bi-Polar, Schizophrenia and other Mental Health Impairments People are sometimes surprised to find out that just because they have been diagnosed with a condition doesn't necessarily mean they qualify for SSDI benefits. It comes back to how the condition impacts the person's ability to perform work. Medical testing and medical records are important because they provide documented proof of a person's condition. But again, it's how the condition affects you and other issues. A person's education level, his/her past work history and other factors are also considered. Age is another determining factor for Social Security Disability Insurance benefit. The older a person is when they file a claim for SSDI benefits, can have a positive impact on the claim. There's a break in the decision-making process if the person is age 50 and there's another break at age 55. This means, one set of work restrictions could be disabling for a 58-year old that would necessarily be seen as disabling for a 48-year old. When reviewing the person's work history, if they've spent their time doing heavy, manual labor, and now they're limited to a low weight restriction, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may say the person qualifies for SSDI benefits because the possibility of retraining the individual for something they've never done is relatively low at 59-60 years of age. If the person is only 30 year of age, the situation may be viewed differently by the SSA. Cognitive Impairment Some individuals may have very low cognitive abilities, for a variety of reasons. The Supplemental Security Income benefit provides a social safety net to provide some level of income to help those individuals. If someone has a work history, but later develops a mental health issue, he/she may also qualify for SSI benefits. For instance, if someone is diagnosed as being bi-polar, but their ability to manage the condition with medication or other treatments becomes less effective, he/she may now qualify for SSDI and SSI benefits. PTSD and Social Security Benefits Some people who have experienced trauma are now no longer able to work in a normal setting due to the noise or the anxiety they experience around other people. We often think of people who have served in the military who are sometimes likely to suffer from PTSD symptoms. But, they aren't the only ones. The majority of the PTSD cases Jeff has handled from a Social Security perspective have involved women who have experienced trauma from sexual abuse or physical abuse. The PTSD of these traumatic experiences can often prevent someone from working in an office or factory setting until they've received significant therapy, counseling and possibly medication, if at all. Social Security Benefits vs. Not Working For the majority of individuals, holding down a job is far better than going on social security disability from a physical, mental and financial perspective. Most of the people Jeff sees would prefer to work, if it's possible. There may be an option of the individual returning to work or taking a job. If this happens, and it seems to be feasible, there are a lot of positive aspects to pursuing the opportunity. You should let your attorney know this is happening, but again, the opportunity to return to work may far outweigh the money received through disability benefits. Head Trauma and Brain Injuries Consider the possibility that someone fell, was hit in the head or involved in a car accident that resulted on significant head injuries and/or brain trauma. This person may be able to file a successful claim for Kentucky workers' compensation benefits, file a motor vehicle accident claim and also be eligible to file for social security benefits. Jeff finds that when head trauma and/or brain injuries are present, it's often beneficial for him to speak with the person's family members or spouse. Doctors explain that brain injuries may result in a loss of memory, trouble communicating or personality changes. The injured person may not realize they are exhibiting any of these symptoms. These conditions and symptoms are often referred to as “hidden injuries.” It's also another reason the proper medical testing and/or medical records are so important to the success of the social security disability claim. Jeff understands how to work with physicians to ensure the proper documentation is included in the injured person's file. For more information, visit www.JeffRobertsLaw.com.

Episode 14: "I know I'm Going to Influence the world -- People will remember me" THE CASE AGAINST with Gary Meece

The Case Against ... with Gary Meece

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 25, 2019 31:41

From "Blood on Black" by Gary Meece "I know I'm Going to Influence the world -- People will remember me" After three trips to mental hospitals, Damien Echols again was wandering Crittenden County. He turned 18 in December 1992, still relying on his much-loathed adopted father for food and lodging. Echols was referred back to counseling on Jan. 5, 1993. His medication remained imipramine, the Tofranil brand. While imipramine effectively treats depression and is sometimes prescribed for panic attacks or anxiety, the medication can cause or worsen emotional problems, such as mood, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, impulse control, irritability, hostility, aggression, restlessness, hyperactivity, depression and self-abuse or suicidal ideation. The intake sheet for Jan. 5 prepared by social worker Sherry Dockins contained extensive notes, noting hospitalizations and that he was on probation. Dockins wrote: “‘Damien reports his problems began at age 8 when his parents divorced and Pam remarried. ‘They were constantly fighting — tried to ignore it but finally started fighting back.' …. 3 months ago mother divorced him and remarried father. Sister, mother and father currently live in Portland, Oregon. He has little contact with family. Currently lives with stepfather Jack Echols. ‘It's the only way I could live here in Ark.' They do not get along but rarely see each other. Damien is planning to move in with girlfriend and her mother when they get an apartment. Reports he and Domini (gf) have been together for long time?” Six months before, Damien was threatening to kill himself if he could not be with Deanna; now he and Domini were a longtime item. The report continued: “Damien wants to live in West Memphis because of his friends and ‘it's where I belong.'” Despite his subsequent disparagement of West Memphis, Damien regarded the town as home; he was willing to risk constant scrutiny to live there. A further irony was his association with Jack Echols, listed as his parent/guardian on the intake papers, who was allowing Damien to live in his home. Concerning Damien's state of mind: “Describes self as feeling ‘neutral/nothing' most of the time. Denies current suicidal/homicidal ideation.” Dockins wrote: “Reports history of self mutilation — cutting self with knives/razors. Last time was 3 months ago. Denies symptoms of depression. ‘I usually don't smile.' He quit school in ninth grade (this year) because he was not allowed to return to his previous school (Marion High School). Reports sleeping most of the day and then goes to Domini's house.” Damien was holding down a part-time job with a roofing company. “Relates that he tends to ‘trance out' when by himself. He has done this since the 5th grade.” Dockins wrote: “Reports history of alcohol/drug usage — coke, acid, pot, alcohol. Denies current usage …. Reports being harassed by local authorities as ‘they think I'm a Satanic leader.' He admits being caught with Satanic items and with handwritten books about witchcraft. Denies cult involvement. Is interested in witchcraft for past 8 years. He has tried to steal energy from someone else and influence other minds with witchcraft. States he was able to do these things.” Echols believed he could “steal energy” from other people; he later testified that children contained more energy for magickal purposes than adults. Dockins also reported: “Describes self as ‘pretty much hate the human race.' Related that he feels people are in two classes — Sheep & Wolves (wolves eat the sheep). “Dressed in black, wearing silver cross and earring studs. Intense eye contact.” The “wolf in sheep's clothing” is an ancient concept, cited in the Bible: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Psychopaths often describe themselves in wolfish terms. For instance, the sadistic psychopath Eric Harris, one of the two Columbine High killers, described fantasies of ripping apart “weak little freshmen” like a wolf. Charles Manson referred to his followers as “slaves” or “sheep” and recorded a record album “Way of the Wolf.” The theme is also popular in occult circles. The Church of Satan Web site, for example, maintains extensive Web pages devoted to “Lycanthropy: A Handbook of Werewolfism,” describing occult exercises for transforming the practitioner into a man-wolf, “a person who has regressed, by force of will and desire, to a feral or wolflike state.” At turns grandiose and pitiable, Damien's wildly fluctuating self-regard was on display throughout the records. Dr. Woods described Echols' return to East Arkansas Mental Health Center: “There is an abundance of evidence to show that Mr. Echols' serious mental illness required long term hospitalization and more aggressive treatment than he received in prior hospitalizations. In January of 1993 Mr. Echols again sought help at East Arkansas Mental Health Center where mental health professionals described Mr. Echols' elaborate history of delusions, psychosis, and severe problems with mood and memory. His delusions often were grandiose. … His mood oscillated between euphoria and severe depression. … During his worst periods Mr. Echols became psychotic. He felt a ‘spirit [was] living within him' that was ‘put inside him last year.' The spirit ‘decided to become part of him' and was the spirit of a woman who was killed by her husband. ... Though profoundly mentally ill, Mr. Echols has always responded well to the structure of a therapeutic setting. He has never been a management problem and staff members uniformly describe him as passive, compliant and likable.” The quiet and likable version of Echols would consistently show up for TV interviews from Death Row. In January 1993, Damien told EAMHC staff that his problems began at age 9 with Jack Echols. Damien reported self-mutilation and said he had a history of abusing drugs, though he, as usual, denied current usage. On Jan. 13, Dockins reported: “Damien reports one of his biggest problems that he would like to work on is being able to forgive others. When questioned about this he reports that he is very angry with family members and with other people that have ‘let him down.' He wants to be normal but feels that he has never been normal. … He discussed issues of power and control. He states that he could make things happen. He believes very much in magic. … Damien's affect and mood was flat. He did not smile during the session.” For the Jan. 19 session: “Damien relates that he is trying to find a way to live on his own. He does not get along with step-father. Reveals a history of abuse as he talked of how he was treated as a child. Denies that this has influenced him stating ‘I just put it all inside.' Relates that when this happens the only solution is to ‘hurt someone.' Damien reports being told at the hospital that he could be another ‘Charles Manson or Ted Bundy.' When questioned on his feelings he states ‘I know I'm going to influence the world — people will remember me.'” Gloria Shettles' “attorney work product” for Echols' trial correctly reported that the session produced “very damaging notes.” After Echols' Jan. 20 session, Dr. David Erby wrote: “ … three psychiatric hospitalizations. Each has been associated with anger, thoughts of killing other and thoughts of killing himself. He's not currently suicidal or homicidal. He's been on Tofranil 15 mg. at bedtime for about a year. He's found that that's been somewhat helpful. He's not experiencing any side effects with it, he's tried to stop it and had some discontinuation symptoms.” Again, a mental health professional noted that Echols had suicidal or homicidal impulses. Though his medication was “somewhat helpful,” Echols was trying to discontinue Tofranil. Shettles noted that yet another session, on Jan. 25, was “very damaging.” The “Individual Progress Notes” by Dockins stated: “Focus of today's session is spent talking with Damien about his feelings of death. He brought with him to session a poem that he had written during the past week. The theme of this poem centered around death and power. Damien explained that he obtains his power by drinking the blood of others. He typically drinks the blood of a sexual partner or of a ruling partner. This is achieved by biting or cutting. He states ‘it makes me feel like a God.' Damien describes drinking blood as giving him more power and strength. He remembers doing this as far back as age 10. He does not remember where he learned to do this. “Damien believes that there is no God. He feels that society believes there is a God because society is weak. He wants very much to be all powerful. He wants very much to be in total control. We discussed how some of this is related to his experiences as a child. He acknowledges that some of this is related to his childhood abuse trauma but he feels that it is who he is now. “Damien related that a spirit is now living with him. The spirit was put inside him last year. He indicates that a month ago the spirit decided to become part of him and he to become part of the spirit. This is reportedly a spirit of a woman who was killed by her husband. When questioned how he feels with this spirit or what the difference is, Damien is able to relate that he feels stronger and more powerful with this spirit. He has not seen this spirit but does hear the spirit. In addition, he also reports conversations with demons and other spirits. This is achieved through rituals. He denies that he is satanic, seeing himself more as being involved in demonology. “It becomes more noticeable today in talking with Damien that he has many things from childhood that he simply does not remember. This is believed to be a dissociative response to trauma issues. Damien is agreeable to beginning to talk about what he experienced as a child that he remembers. He is also agreed to continue to discuss his issues with power and control as related to his practice of rituals. … “… Damien's affect and mood today continued to be bland though there was more emotion when talking about drinking blood.” Echols livened up therapy with discussions about gaining power through drinking blood via cuts and biting. They also could have livened up sessions by having Echols explain the difference between Satanism and invoking demons through ritual. In theory, a powerful magician would be able to control demons or other disembodied entities through proper ritual and use of the will and use them for his own purposes. Those purposes wouldn't inherently be evil in intent, and many dabblers in bygone eras regarded themselves as Christian and by no means Satanists. Orthodox Christianity, however, has regarded trafficking with demons as evil. Echols was almost certainly manipulating the mental health staff to qualify for Social Security Disability but his delusions, such as being inhabited by the spirit of a murdered woman, were consistent with statements made when disability wasn't at issue. Among other noted killers who claimed to have been possessed by some sort of spirit was Ted Bundy, who claimed a “malignant entity” had taken over his consciousness. Other serial killers, such as John Wayne Gacy and “Hillside Strangler” Kenneth Bianci, blamed murderous alter egos for their crimes. On Feb. 5, Dockins reported that Echols “dressed completely in black and is noted to have cut on his R arm and hand. “… Damien relates that he cut his arm & hand as a way of permanently marking his skin. The name Domini is cut into his arm. Session continues focused on Damien's self concept and image. Relates feeling very angry yesterday when running into previous girlfriend. ‘I controlled it — I can do anything.' “… Affect and mood —- flat.” Despite his supposed devotion to Domini, Echols still felt the effect of his breakup with Deanna deeply. On Feb. 11, Echols reported that he was being harassed by local authorities — “They think I'm a satanic leader.” He admitted to having Satanic items but denied involvement in Satanism. He said he had been interested in witchcraft for eight years. His diagnosis was changed to depressive disorder. He was prescribed Tofranil in a 150 mg dose. Dr. Woods described Echols' continued mental health problems and dealings with the Social Security Administration: “Though he was only 18 years old, mental health professionals at East Arkansas Regional Mental Health Center concurred that Mr. Echols' severe and enduring mental illness made him unable to function without substantial assistance from mental health and other agencies. Staff members assisted Mr. Echols in applying for Social Security Disability Benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA). After conducting an independent evaluation, the SSA determined that Mr. Echols was 100% disabled and was awarded full disability benefits on the basis of his mental illness. The finding by the Social Security Administration of a mental disability is a significant factor that any competent mental health professional would consider in an objective determination of Mr. Echols' mental state. At the time of arrest and trial, Mr. Echols was still considered severely mentally impaired by the SSA and was receiving full SSA disability benefits.” Echols applied for disability in early February 1993. In his application, he claimed he was too mentally ill to work, describing his symptoms as “Mentally Disturbed.” On another form, he wrote: “I am a sociopath.” Asked “What is your disabling condition?” Echols answered: “I am going through treatment at the Mental Health Center and have been in several mental hospitals.” He explained how his condition kept him from working: “Because when I try to take a time out my employers don't like it. Violent, medicine makes me sleepy, vomit & headaches.” Asked for the reasons for his hospitalizations, on the two stays at Charter, he wrote: “Homicidal, suicidal, manic depression, schizophrenia, sociopathic”; for the hospital in Portland: “Homicidal, suicidal, manic depression, schizophrenia, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sociopathic.” Echols was deemed totally disabled and began receiving full Social Security Disability payments. The rest of the Hutchisons moved back to West Memphis around March. Joe and Pam had remarried in February. Joe, 37, had been married at least four times. Pamela, 35, had been married three times. Echols began sleeping most nights at the Teer trailer, while occasionally staying at his parents' trailer at Broadway Trailer Park. The Hutchisons didn't have a bedroom for him, so he had to “share” a room with his sister. Someone often slept on the sofa. For his last appointment, on May 5, 1993, he did not talk to Dockins but to Dr. Erby. His imipramine prescription was refilled. The handwritten Physician's Progress Report was difficult to read, having been the only photocopy in 509 pages misaligned on the copier. Fragments are visible: “… at time he is impulsive … things that may be harmful to … He has impulses to do strange … armful things to himself. He … es suicidal thoughts. He says … kes to read, swim, playing pool, … likes to work with animals, snakes, .. zards & spiders. He is bothered if .. nakes are killed even if they are poison. .. e has not seriously considered a vocation. … he mother seems dedicated, but insecure. He seems to enjoy people being concerned about him.” Later that day, he oversaw the gruesome murders of Michael Moore, Christopher Byers and Stevie Branch. https://www.facebook.com/WestMemphis3Killers/ http://www.eastofwestmemphis.com https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B07C7C4DCH/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1553389038&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers/dp/0692802843/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1553389069&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B06XVT2976/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1553389069&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Where-Monsters-Go-Against-Memphis-ebook/dp/B06XVNXCJV/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1553389069&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753HJZ1P/?ie=UTF8&keywords=gary%20meece&qid=1553389069&ref_=sr_1_fkmrnull_5&s=gateway&sr=8-5-fkmrnull

How do you know if you are sick or injured enough to win Social Security disability benefits?While every case is different, certain patterns do emerge, and after 25+ years of trying cases, I want to share with you my opinions about what it takes to win SSDI benefits now.If your impairment is physical or involves a damaged body part or system, Social Security disability judges want to see objective evidence of your problem. Ideally, this takes the form of an MRI or CT scan, an ultrasound, a pulmonary function test, blood test or any other medical test that confirms a specific diagnosis. This is why pain conditions like CRPS or fibromyalgia have become so difficult to win.Judges also look for a long and consistent medical treatment record, and support from your doctor - ideally a specialist - the form of a functional capacity evaluation or narrative report.My experience has also been that a long and consistent work history goes a long way to establish your credibility, and judge expect your treatment to follow a familiar path.Mental health cases are more difficult because there is no way (usually) to objectively document their existence. There are, for example, no MRI tests to gauge the severity of your depression, anxiety or PTSD.Further, my experience has been that judges may discount the opinion evidence of a psychologist who appears to accept your complaints without challenge - often judges will rely on the opinion of a psychologist who evaluates you on a one time basis during a Social Security consultative evaluation.And finally, what constitutes a severe enough mental health condition to disable you from all work can vary widely among judges.You may find the demands of Social Security judges in both medical and mental health claims to be wildly unfair but this is the current environment and the more you know about what is demanded, the better you and your lawyer can prepare.=============== FREE SURVIVAL KIT ================Don't know where to begin?

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI? As I discuss in this episode, SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. It is an insurance program and the payroll taxes you paid while you were working are the premiums.You earn insurance "credits" based on your gross earnings. In 2018, you earn one credit for every $1,320 of gross earnings. You can earn a maximum of four credits in a calendar year, so once you have earned $5,280, you will have all four possible credits.The earnings requirements for previous years are slightly lower and the earnings requirements for 2019 and beyond will be higher.It does not matter when during the the year that you earn your credits - if you earned $5,280 during the first week of January in 2018 you would be covered for the full year.One thing to keep in mind, however - SSDI requires that you earn 20 credits during the 40 quarters ending the year before you become disabled. This is called the "5 out of 10" rule because it roughly translates into 5 years of earnings during the 10 years prior to the year you became disabled.Example: if you worked full time (and earned $25,000 per year) from 2006 through 2015, you would have earned 40 credits. Since you only need 20 credits you are "fully insured." This also means that your insurance coverage will follow you for about 5 years after you stop working. In our example, if you stopped working in 2015, you would be insured for SSDI until some point in 2020.SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income and is a welfare program for those who don't have enough earnings to qualify for SSI. You don't need any credits but because SSI is a welfare program, your benefit is capped. In 2018, the most you can receive from SSI is $750 per month. By contrast, SSDI pays you based on your earnings record and most claimants are paid between $1,200 and $2,400 per month.=============== FREE SURVIVAL KIT ================Don't know where to begin?
