Best Answer

Maybe. You need more than a diagnosis to qualify for Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). You also need to demonstrate that your diagnosis prevents you from working or performing Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). The Disability Determinations Specialists will review your medical and employment records, and probably schedule you for a medical and/or psychological evaluation before making a decision.

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.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?

Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.

How much money can you earn while receiving Disability insurance?

The amount of income you could receive in addition to Social Security benefits will depend on the type of benefit your Disability insurance coverage provides. Some benefits will offset with all Social Security benefits you qualify for, which essentially means the additional income you receive will be equal to the difference of your monthly benefit and your Social Security benefits.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $4,000 of additional income and a total of $5,000.There is also a benefit called "base" benefit, which does not offset with Social Security benefits. In this scenario the additional income you will receive is equal to your entire Disability insurance benefit.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (not off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $5,000 of additional income and a total of $6,000.


Can you collect disability insurance for an ulcer?

This depends on the type of Disability insurance you have and also how bad the ulcer is. Normally, individual and group Disability insurance requires that you be unable to perform the material duties of your current occupation, in order to qualify and receive any benefits. If the ulcer is preventing you from working in your job, then there is a chance you may qualify for benefits. If it does not affect your ability to work, then you should not expect to receive benefits. If you are counting on Social Security Disability, you should not expect to be paid disability benefits. Social Security is significantly more difficult to qualify for. You must essentially be unable to do any form of work, in order to be considered disabled and eligible for benefits.


Can a person who did not contribute through wage deductions still claim SS disability benefits?

NO WAY. You can only qualify for social security insurance benefits by contribution to the social security insurance program either through wages OR from being a self employed taxpayer and contributing to the The (OASDI) Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance (FICA) (social security and Medicare taxes) all mean the same tax for social security benefits (SSB or SSDI). All mean the same thing.
