Free Webinar – Applying for Social Security Disability

/ /by

Metastatic breast cancer makes you “presumptively eligible” for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) through their Compassionate Allowances Program, but it is not a guarantee. You still need to apply and meet the SSA’s technical qualification rules which include strict financial limits for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or work credit requirements for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).The Webinar looked at the following questions:

  • What are the different types of disability insurance?
  • What are the differences between SSI and SSDI?
  • How can I improve the changes of my application being approved?
  • How can I speed up the application process?
  • What happens if my application is denied?
  • How do I find a disability insurance attorney?
