Each day, thousands of Americans suffer injuries or are diagnosed with health conditions that prevent them from returning to work. This can cause financial struggles, and the Social Security Disability lawyers with Newlin Disability would like to tell you about a few options that may be available to help with the mounting costs of disabilities:
- Longer-Term Disability- Many health insurance policies employers provide allow for a long-term disability plan. These benefits can give as much as 70 percent of an employee’s typical pay for up to several months.
- Social Security Disability (SSD)- If you cannot work for longer than one year, benefits provided through the Social Security Administration (SSA) may be your best option. SSD benefits are provided to disabled workers who meet the program’s requirements until they can return to their jobs.
- Supplemental Security Income- Another source of income is available through the SSA. Supplemental Security Income is often provided to Americans who are blind, elderly, or disabled.
- Temporary Assistance For Needy Families– This grant program is provided through The Office of Family Assistance. It can provide cash payments to help with daily expenses, such as food, clothing, and transportation.
The processes to receive funds from these programs can be complex. If you have any questions about how to get the benefits you deserve, feel free to call us at (800) 477-7315, and we’ll be happy to help.
