Do You Need to Wait A Full Year After You Stop Working to Start Your Disability Case

I regularly speak with potential clients who mistakenly think that they cannot file for #socialsecuritydisability benefits until they have been out of work for 12 months.

This is not true and if you wait 12 months you could be costing yourself tens of thousands of dollars and unnecessarily adding to the long delays in the processing of your case.

As I explain in this #shorts video, SSA rules say that you qualify for disability only if your work preclusive medical condition has lasted or is expected to last 12 consecutive months.

This means that if you stop working on Monday and have a good faith expectation that your will be out of work for a full year or longer, you can file for #disabilitybenefits on Tuesday. To restate - you can file your #applicationfordisabilitybenefits the day after you stop working.

You may wonder if filing immediately after you stop working is likely to result in a denial since you cannot assume that the Social Security #adjudicator will agree that your severe medical condition is likely to keep you out for a full year.

In reality, adjudicators are so backed up that most decisions on your initial application won't be made for close to a year or longer anyway. So, as a practical matter, it makes more sense to start your case as early as possible as opposed to waiting.
