The Social Security
Administration (SSA) manages a program called disability insurance or
disability social security which insures a worker in case of a
mishap. Enforced using the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
(FICA), the SSA collects regular contributions from employees, with
these collections forming part of their Social Security fund. This
federal legislation makes it possible for employees to receive income
insurance for at least one year when they become disabled.
The process of applying for
disability social security involves passing stringent tests that the
SSA sets to ensure that only those who really qualify and need it can
benefit from this form of assistance. First, applicants must meet the
government agency’s definition of being “disabled”. Then, they
must prove that their current medical condition impairs them from
continuing to do their work or from taking other types of occupation.
After careful review of
applications for disability social security and other supporting
documents, SSA can decide to grant or reject a worker’s application
for the said income insurance. If approved, beneficiaries need to
wait for their first payment six months after the decision has been
made. If the application has been rejected, applicants can file an
appeal with the SSA to overturn the decision. Employees have to prove
that they are qualified for the benefit and meet the specific
requirements of the compensation program.
