"How To Survive The Wait Until
You Win and Get Your First Check! "
Greetings
Welcome to lesson 10 how to survive the wait.
…. you may find that you are like lots of others that are
disabled and still working full time because surviving the wait is
difficult.
Although there's no Magic pill to address the ridiculous timeframe, we have
uncovered tips for a short term
strategy that will help you through until you win.
Tips from others that have survived the wait!
1. Win Your Case Quick
Avoid the mistakes that cause delays and maximize your chances of
winning in the shortest amount of time by taking all the lessons and
interview attorneys.
2. Group Disability Insurance
If you have been employed prior to filing make certain you
investigate your companies short term and long term insurance
policies...
Often Long Term disability policies through work can be a big
help in bridging the gap till you win your SSDI case.
3. State Disability
A few states including California, Hawaii, Rhode Island, New Jersey and New York
offer state disability.
If you don't have private or employer-provided disability insurance
benefits, you
may be covered by your state's program.
Find out if you have been paying into your state's disability insurance program through automatic payroll deductions, if you elected it instead of (or in addition to) disability insurance benefits offered by your employer.
Typically, state disability insurance benefits are administered by the same agency that administers unemployment insurance (or a division of same). In fact, you might be covered by state disability insurance even if you are unemployed when your disability starts. To find out if your state offers such a program (and vocational rehabilitation too), start by contacting your state's unemployment office.
4. Back Benefits and Loans
I'm sure this is a scary thought but keep in mind if you have
assets
you can leverage while waiting you can pay back the loan with the
back benefit check you receive.
The very general rule on your retroactive benefits (back benefits
)
is that you accumulate back benefits from the time you became disabled
until you win your case...
So its common for members to accumulate and receive a significant
check that can pay back your loan.
4. Reduce your expenses
5. Working While Qualifying
I have found some attorney's that will represent your
case
if it's strong enough and still allow you to work 2-3 hours
a day .... So in your interview ask about the possibilities.
You may find it comforting to know that once your on SSDI
benefits you can earn M.O.N.E.Y with out effecting your SSDI
benefits.
You'll can start educating yourself about ALL your possible career paths
so you can
make plans for recovering and crafting the life you really want on this web site
