Disability Care FAQs
Straight answers about disability benefits, SSDI, and what to expect from this service.
Is Your Disability Care a government agency or law firm?
No. Your Disability Care is an independent advertising and marketing referral service. It is not a government agency, law firm, or insurance provider, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Decisions about benefits are made by the applicable government agency.
What kinds of disability benefits might a specialist talk about?
Specialists in our network commonly discuss Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and related support resources. Which programs may apply depends on your work history, income, resources, and medical condition.
How many work credits do I need for SSDI?
Most adults need about 40 Social Security work credits, 20 of them earned in the last 10 years before becoming disabled, though younger workers may qualify with fewer. The SSA calculates credits from your earnings record, so a specialist can help you understand where you stand.
How long does a disability claim take?
Timelines vary widely by stage and location, and appeals can add significant time. Our blog guide to the SSDI appeal timeline explains what to expect.
What if my claim was denied?
A denial is not always final. You generally have 60 days from receiving the notice to appeal. Our blog guide on what to do after an SSDI denial walks through the steps.
Is there a cost to talk with a specialist?
No. Submitting the form and speaking with a specialist through Your Disability Care is free and carries no obligation. Your Disability Care may receive compensation from its partner organizations for referrals.
What happens after I submit my information?
You may be contacted by phone, email, or text by an independent specialist or partner organization who can walk through the options that may be available. Consent to be contacted is not a condition of purchasing any product or service, and you can opt out at any time.
