It's that one thing many people start to look forward to as they begin to age - retiring. Being able to slow down, relax, and do what you want to do day in and day out is the goal of many hard workers. When it comes to retirement benefits and receiving social security, it's important to be informed and make the best decision for you and your family. You can officially start collecting social security retirement benefits as early as 62 years old. However, the amount you receive will be lower than what you would receive at your full retirement age. Your full retirement age is based on the year you were born. If you wait until 70 years old, you will be able to receive your full benefits. In fact, you will receive credits for each month you delay filing for social security benefits meaning the longer you delay your retirement, the higher your payments will be.

Social Security Disability (SSD) provides much needed benefits for those with long-term disabilities who are unable to work. If you have such a disability, you deserve to receive these benefits, but qualifying and applying for them may be difficult without the help of an experienced SSI attorney. SSD is different from any retirement benefits or Social Security benefits you may qualify for. While you need to be a certain age to receive retirement benefits, SSD benefits require you to have a long-term disability which makes it impossible for you to work. The general term as viewed by the Social Security Administration is a year. The following are some conditions which usually qualify a person for SSD benefits: • Fibromyalgia • HIV/AIDS • Crohn’s Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Epilepsy • Parkinson’s Disease This is not an exhaustive list, but you can get a better idea of what kinds of conditions might qualify you for SSD benefits. Short term disabilities, on the other hand, tend to last only weeks or months. While the severity may be just as high, there is not the same longevity. Conditions like pregnancy, broken bones, surgeries, etc. The best way to determine if you qualify for SSD is to speak with an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer like the ones at the Law Office of Ty Groat. We can help you understand if you qualify and what medical testing, records, and information you will need to apply for the benefits. Just as importantly, we can guide you every step of the way and make sure you receive the benefits you deserve, even if you’ve been rejected before. We understand this process can be complex and confusing, and many people have been denied simply because they don’t understand the procedure.
