Qualifying for SSD Benefits in Fresno
In order to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a disabling condition that is severe enough to keep you from doing your job. Your condition must also keep you from adjusting to other work. Also, your condition must:
- Have lasted at least one year
- Or be expected to last for at least one year
Also, in order to qualify, you must also have paid enough into the system. For most workers, this means they must first have paid Social Security taxes at least 10 years before applying for benefits and worked five of the last 10 years before you stopped working. Younger workers may qualify after working fewer than 10 years.
Your disability must meet several requirements established by the Social Security Administration. For a more thorough analysis of your situation, it is important to consult with an experienced Fresno SSD attorney. Our lawyers know the SSD application process and can help you at every stage of the process, from your initial application to any necessary appeals.
