Disability has nothing to do with your life insurance. These are two different things.
Disability insurance, or disability income insurance, is a type of insurance that insures a person's income. In case a person becomes disabled, and is therefore no longer able to work, this disability insurance will provide the individual with benefits to make up for their lost income.Who Qualifies for Disability Insurance Benefits?Disability insurance is administered by the Social Security Administration, or SSA. To qualify for Disability Insurance benefits, you must have earned enough Social Security work credits while you were able to work. According to the SSA, workers will usually be eligible for disability benefits after earning 40 work credits. 20 of these work credits should have been earned in the past 10 years.Work credits are earned by paying Social Security taxes. Each year, tax payers earn up to four credits based on their income. In 2011, one work credit will be given for each $1,120 a person earns. This figures increases every year.Besides having earned enough work credits, you must also meet the SSA's definition of disabled. The SSA considers a person disabled if they are not able to return to their job or get a new job because of their condition. The disability must also be expected to last one year or may possibly result in death.How to Apply for Disability Insurance BenefitsTo apply for disability benefits, you will need to apply on the SSA's website or at your local Social Security office. You will also need to undergo a physical examination to determine whether you are considered disabled. The physician will need to complete and submit a medical certification to prove your disability.To receive full benefits, its best to apply when you are first disabled. Your benefits may be reduced if you fail to apply within the first 49 days of being disabled. If you qualify and receive disability insurance benefits, you should also know that your benefits will switch to retirement benefits once you reach full retirement age. Full retirement age is currently 67 years of age for anyone born after 1937.If you are unsure of whether you qualify to receive disability benefits, you may still apply. The SSA will determine whether or not you are eligible. If you are losing wages due to a disability, it is important that you begin the application for benefits as soon as possible.

The physical Disability insurance contract provided by the insurance company will have all of the information needed to determine whether they will want their money back if a claimant is eligible for Social-Security (SS) benefits. If you have Disability insurance under a group policy (through work), there is a good chance that they will want a refund for benefits paid on any month that you were eligible and receive SS benefits. This will often be described very clearly in the contract. Group contracts will often offset your benefits, dollar-for-dollar (100%) with an benefits received from SS and family SS. In order to be sure, simply reference the contract you have. With individual Disability coverage you should know if any of your benefits will offset with SS benefits. Benefits are classified as "Base benefits", which do not offset or "Social Insurance benefits" which is an optional rider you can add to your coverage and will offset dollar-for-dollar with SS benefits. This information will be found in your original contract. In order to know for sure, you should reference the contract. *There are many different names for the Social insurance rider. Every company has their own variation, but the conditions are similar.
