How to file for Social Security Disability Benefits in New York State

Social Security Disability (SSDB) is a payroll tax funded federal insurance program managed by Social Security. If you have stopped working or are considering retirement due to an injury or illness that prevents you from working, you should consider applying. SSDB provides monthly income. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program funded by general tax revenue designed to help disabled people with no real income and assets of no more than $2,000. It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
You may be eligible for SSDB if you meet all 3 of the following criteria: Are at least 18 years of age but have not yet reached your full retirement age; Have worked 5 of the last 10 years preceding the date of disability; And are unable, due to medical reasons, to hold any substantial, gainful employment for at least one year. If your SSD claim is approved, the benefits are: You will receive a monthly payment equal to the amount that you would receive from Social Security if you had reached full retirement age; Medicare health insurance coverage is provided to SSD recipients after they have been receiving SSDB for 2 years; and SSD can be supplied on either a temporary or permanent basis, usually directly correlated to whether the person's disability is temporary or permanent.
FOA can file the application for you. However, if you prefer, you can go to your local Social Security Administration office and apply in person; apply over the telephone by calling 800-772-1213; or you can apply online: www.socialsecurity.gov. You can review your potential benefit amount with the Online Benefits Calculator at SSA.gov. If you pass away and have minor children who are still in school, they would be entitled to receive benefits on your account until they reach age 19 or graduate from high school, whichever comes first.
If you receive workers’ compensation or other public disability benefits, AND Social Security Disability Benefits, the total amount of these benefits can’t exceed 80 percent of your average current earnings before you became disabled. SSA can you send you to a doctor of their choice to be evaluated even your doctor supports the SSDB claim before making a decision.
