At Slusky & Walt, our lawyers get many great questions about SSDI (social security disability insurance). We are happy to answer all of them, and with that, do you know what the most frequently asked questions about social security disability are? SSDI is a complicated program that is very particular about approving those who are in the program. With that comes many questions, and today, we will be answering a few of them. These questions include, how do you apply for SSDI, who makes the SSDI decision, and how do you qualify for SSDI?
How do you apply for SSDI?
- Filing online has never been easier. When you visit the Social Security Administration’s website, you will be able to apply for SSDI. You will complete the application online. Expect to get a phone call from one of the SSA reps if there are any questions regarding your application. If you did file your SSDI online, it isn’t a bad idea to follow up with the office to be sure your application was received.
Who makes the SSDI decision?
- SSDI is an important decision that is put in the hands of an ALJ. ALJ, also known as an administrative law judge, approves the final decision whether or not your SSDI is approved.
How do you qualify for SSDI?
- Qualifying for SSDI takes special requirements. Visit our previous blog post to understand what these qualifications are.
