Gaynor Borade
Our tryst with destiny and fate unfurls the most unexpected events in the otherwise normal and stable lives we pursue. Such uncertainty hits most unexpected. But with a system in place, it is now possible to counter the situations.
Life is very unpredictable and fragile. In today's day and time, the twists and turns that make up the fabric of life are uncertain and certainly don't come heralded. Our hectic work schedule and demands within the immediate social circle have added to the stress and tension that mount with every passing day.
The chances of losing a limb in an accident or becoming visually or hearing impaired are high, so is the exposure to the risk becoming incapacitated for life. The breather comes with the Social Security Disability Index, and its benefits. A little planning and an informed lifestyle go a long way and determine your adaptability to unforeseen disaster.
No one likes to sit down and discuss disability or the aftermath of stressful surgery or injury. These are subjects most conveniently avoided, but also ones that hit hard in confrontation. The articles related to disability that we read about in the newspapers hardly ever urge us to relate to something that might actually turn our lives around.
A research reveals that every three out of ten young adults, within the age group of 20 and 25, have high chances of becoming disabled before reaching retirement. With this kind of susceptibility, it is good to view the Social Security Disability Index (SSDI). Associated SSDI benefits enable you to check out the options you would have in any untoward event.
The SSDI and its benefits act as career enhancers and function as safety nets. The benefits covered under the paradigms of the law and made applicable to the disabled help as a buffer in bad times. Social Security is designed to provide valuable help and offer assistance at times when even relatives fail you.
All you need to do is access a disability planner and view the contents. The planner is created to give you a clear picture of how the SSDI makes certain benefits available to you because of your disability. The associated benefits are made available on the basis of the information made available and document support provided to the authorities.
The planner enables you to make preliminary calculations on the grounds with which you qualify, and the recipients or beneficiaries of the amount sanctioned on your 'record of earnings'. The online resources that are dedicated to the benefits associated with SSDI also guide you on the application procedure.
Use the links on the left to go to specific sections of the planner. It is mandatory that you should have been a part of an organization covered by the State Social Security. The medical condition proved by you with evidence needs to be within the paradigms set by the SSDI definition of disability.
The common sanction is extended to persons who are incapacitated and unable to work for a year or more, medically proven. The benefits are usually extended until the person is declared medically fit to resume work. The benefits also include some special work incentives.
These work incentives provide certain predetermined ongoing benefits and a 'health care coverage'. These work incentives are offered with the intent of enabling the person to recoup and successfully get back to work. People who continue to receive the SSDI benefits until retirement, the disability benefits are subsequently converted to retirement benefits.
Ideally, the person should apply for the disability benefits covered under the SSDI as soon as possible. The application can be submitted by a representative at any of the offices or online or via telephone. The benefits covered are extended to the spouse, children or a disabled child, as specified.
