Yes, you can file for Social Security Disability benefits if you have a medical condition that prevents you from working and is expected to last at least one year or result in death. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two main disability programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you’ve paid, while SSI is need-based and does not require a work history.

You can apply online at the SSA website, by phone, or in person at your local Social Security office. To file, you’ll need personal information, a detailed work history, and comprehensive medical records. It's important to be thorough and accurate when completing your application to avoid unnecessary delays or denials.

Many applications are initially denied, but you have the right to appeal. The appeals process includes several stages, including a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. You may represent yourself, but many people choose to work with an attorney (954-618-1776) or advocate to strengthen their case.

Filing for disability can be a lengthy process, but if you are truly unable to work due to your condition, pursuing benefits can provide critical financial and medical support.

Do you have to apply for Social Security Disability when you start getting Long Term Disability from your employer?

Yes, if your disability insurance policy has a benefit that is integrated with social insurance benefits.Most employer paid disability insurance policies are integrated with social security benefits, because of the lower premium they have to pay. Individual disability insurance plans can be purchased with or without social security integration. Benefits that are not integrated with social security benefits will not be affected whether you apply or not for social security disability benefits.
