Hi, good morning. I'm looking to do some benefits planning on disability. Can you help me with that?
Sure, no problem. It's great you think in advance. Most people don't think that something as disability could happen to them, but possibilities are higher that they think.
================
Yeah, i know. i read this newspaper article and here i am. Oh well, could you tell me about the medical requirements for this, please?
very good. Under disability, there's two programs, disability insurance program and social security income program. For both of them, the medical requirements are the same, plus disability is determined by the same process.
Oh, i understand. And what kind of benefits exist under the first program?
The social security disability insurance program pays benefits too you and your qualified family members, in case you have worked enough time and paid your social security taxes. You have also the option to get a qualification for a disabled child if he/she is an adult and got disabled before age 22.
Um, i see it has many options available. Look, and what kind of information you request from me?
Well, we may ask you about your medical condition, work and education history to help us decide if your disability runs under our rules.
================
Ok, that makes sense. say, i heard about some disability planner? How can be that of use for me?
That planner will help you to find out how you can qualify and apply for benefits and what happens in case you application gets approved.
================
I see. Is there any information available for advocates or attorneys on these themes?
Are you a law practitioner?
Yes, i'm a attorney in law.
If that's the case, you should be aware of some things.
