Social security?
Answer:
The rules for social security disability - You have to be disabled for 12 months or more, and you must not be engaged in substantial gainful activity (sga) translate to - you cannot earn $900 or more in gross earnings per month. When you file social security disability for example if your alleged onset date is Jun 13, 2007 and if the state disability services(who makes the disability decision) agrees with your alleged onset date, before you can receive any payment or money you must first serve a mandatory waiting period of 5 months. In this example you will not be due money until November 2007 but you will not receive your benefits until December 2007. Even if your doctor fills out all the forms in the world saying that you are disabled, it is up to the state disability (oh by the way they make the decision of disability each state) to find you disabled. I hope this helps.
What does this have to do with Immigration?
wow you put this in immigration, maybe you should move to Mexico and become leader..
6 months isn't the same as one year..They probably will deny you based on those terms..the SSA is VERY particular, which I don't blame them. What does Social Security have to do with Immigration? You are like everyone else here and you don't have to feel subordinate to no one...
You are in the wrong section. However, SS will probably deny based on the doctor's report.
I've been disabled for the last 3 years, and I had reports from 5 doctors. I don't qualify for SSD and I can't work since my condition is permanent.
Short term disability, lasts for a few months, and LTD, lasts up to one year, are sometimes carried thru an insurer by your company.
Social security will probably deny you because of what your doctor submitted. Don't worry though, you will be given an opportunity to appeal and then you can find another doctor who will contradict what the first wrote. This happened to my dad. He had a triple bypass surgery on his heart and then they found out he a leaking valve that they were afraid to do open heart surgery on because of the condition of his heart. The first doctor said that his condition was not permanent and his heart would eventually get back to normal even after the surgeon said that there would be no way that his heart would ever get above 30% its original capacity. He applied for social security and was turned down because of the doctor's recommendation.
My dad filed an appeal based on the surgeon's opinion. He also had the chance to go to a second doctor and submit their opinion. He also asked the first doctor why he submitted his opinion the way he did. The doctor's unofficial response was that once he became eligible for social security, he would also be eligible for Medic-Aid. The allowable for my dad's current insurance carrier was higher than the allowable for Medic-Aid, so he wanted to be able to keep submitting his insurance claims to my dad's private insurance. Of course this was after the appeals hearing when the Social Security Administration reversed their decision and awarded my dad his benefits. The first doctor told him then that he would not be able to treat my dad any longer for that reason.
It appears you answered your own question in the first sentence offered by you.
It would have to say one year in plain black and white for them to approve your claim.Good luck...
