Followers of this blog will recognize these ways because they are so crucial. Any information that can
improve ways to prepare to file an SSDI claim is updated here.
It can’t be stressed enough, applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be a lengthy
process. Being organized before you apply can make it easier to document your disability, work history,
and eligibility. The goal isn’t simply to prove that you have a medical condition, but to clearly document
how that condition prevents you from working.
1. Know Your Work Credits
SSDI generally requires enough recent work credits, although the number needed depends on your age
when your disability began.
Review your Social Security earnings record.
Check your estimated disability benefit.
Correct missing or inaccurate earnings.
Your work history determines whether you have enough credits to qualify for SSDI. Don’t assume you
have enough, or don’t have enough, without checking your actual Social Security record.
