What Conditions Automatically Qualify You For Disability?

What Conditions Automatically Qualify You For Disability?

You have probably heard that being approved for disability benefits can be challenging. The process can also be time consuming which leaves many people wondering and worrying about what to do for income while waiting for disability. Documentation is the key to a successful claim. There are a lot of medical conditions, however, that do qualify for expedited approval. Some conditions automatically qualify for disability benefits if you have a confirmed diagnosis. There are a few conditions that warrant such approvals. The Social Security Administration (SSA) runs two disability benefits programs that are application-based and offer financial assistance to people who have a medical condition (i.e., a disability) that prevents them from working. These two programs are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

 

The best way to tell which medical conditions automatically qualify you for Social Security disability is to consult the compassionate allowances list. This list has over 200 conditions so it is important to view it. If your condition is on the list, it is likely that your application process will be expedited.



Some conditions that automatically qualify you for disability include:

 

1.    Cancers (advanced stages)

2.    Cardiovascular system disorders (chronic heart failure)

3.    Neurological disorders (ALS, multiple sclerosis)

4.    Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease

1.    Musculoskeletal system (spinal disorders)

2.    Organ transplantation

3.    Parkinson's

4.    Visual disorders (blindness)


A claim because of one of these conditions will get expedited attention, which means you might get a decision within a month of applying.

Social Security disability insurance is coverage that workers earn

Social Security disability insurance is coverage that workers earn 

Disability is unpredictable and can happen to anyone at any age:

Disability is something many Americans, especially younger people, think can only affect the lives of other people.

Tragically, thousands of young people are seriously injured or killed, often as the result of traumatic events.

Many serious medical conditions, such as cancer or mental illness, can affect the young as well as the elderly.

The sobering fact for 20-year-olds is that more than 1-in-4 of them becomes disabled before reaching retirement age.

As a result, they may need to rely on the Social Security disability benefits for income support.

Social Security disability benefits provide a critical source of financial support to people when they need it most.

Working while on Disability

Try returning to work without losing Disability

The first 9 months of work


You can return to work for at least 9 months and still get your full Disability payment. We call this a “trial work period.” In 2024, any month you earn over $1,110 before taxes will count towards this trial. The months don't need to be consecutive, just within a rolling 5-year period. There's no limit on how much you can earn during the 9 months.



The next 3 years of work

After your 9-month work trial, there's a 36-month period called an “extended period of eligibility” (EPE) where you can work and still get Disability. The EPE earnings limit in 2024 is $1,550 per month, or $2,590 if you get Disability due to blindness. If you exceed the earnings limit in any month, you won’t be eligible for a Disability payment for that month.

After your EPE, if you keep earning over the limit, your benefit will typically end.



Your earnings limit can increase in certain circumstances


During the 3-year extended period of eligibility, if you have work expenses due to your disability, you may be able to earn more than the monthly limit without affecting your benefits, up to the value of those costs. For example, if you have to spend $250 per month on specific transportation needs, you can earn an extra $250 each month.

Also during that time, your earnings limit could increase if your job offers a subsidy. We define a subsidy as extra support due to your disability, like paid breaks or less work than your peers.

We’ll talk to your employer to determine the value of your subsidy. For example, they might tell us they give you extra paid breaks every week, worth $100. This would be your subsidy and you could earn up to that amount more than the earnings limit without reducing your benefit.


When you report work activity, be sure to report these expenses and subsidies as well.


Keep your Medicare coverage

During the 9-month trial and the following 93 months


You can typically keep Part A (hospital insurance) at no cost but can’t withdraw unless you pay a premium. 


If you have Part B (medical insurance), you can keep it by continuing to pay the premium.



After that

You can pay for both Parts A and B and keep your coverage as long as you still have a disability. Part A usually becomes free again after age 65.

The Basics About Disability Benefits

Specializing in Social Security Disability Claims

The Basics About Disability Benefits

The SSDI program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are “insured.” This means that you worked long enough – and recently enough - and paid Social Security taxes on your earnings. The SSI program pays benefits to adults and children who meet our requirements for a qualifying disability and have limited income and resources.

While these two programs are different, the medical requirements are the same. If you meet the non-medical requirements, monthly benefits are paid if you have a medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death.
