Qualify for Disability Benefits Insurance in Cincinnati

Workers in Cincinnati may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) if they are disabled with a severe mental or physical health condition which is expected to last for 12 continuous months and does not allow them to perform substantial gainful activity (SGA).

Social Security Disability Insurance in Cincinnati was created by the Federal Government to provide wage replacement benefits for primary wage earners who are determined disabled by the Social Security Administration and who have enough work credits to be considered insured.

Cincinnati employees may earn work credits by working jobs which are covered by Social Security and paying employment taxes. Credits can generally be earned at a rate of 4 credits per year, and claimants need approximate 20-40 work credits to qualify for SSDI in Cincinnati. The amount of work credits needed to be insured will vary by age at the time of disability.

Social Security Disability Insurance dependant benefits may be paid to dependants and spouses of the SSDI recipient, including Widows, widowers, dependents and disabled dependents over 18 years old (who were disabled prior to the age of 22).

What if a claimant has not worked? Can they qualify for Cincinnati SSDI? Claimants who have not consistently worked, who have worked and not paid taxes or who have worked in the home do not qualify for SSDI in Cincinnati.

The Federal Government does, however, provide monthly payments to the disabled, blind or aged (age 65 and older), who have very limited income and resources through the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI). Claimants who are approved for Cincinnati Supplemental Security Income may also qualify for Medicaid, in most states, at the time of their approval.

Claimants may apply for disability benefits like SSI or SSDI, in Cincinnati Ohio, or any of the surrounding cities including: Norwood, Reading, Newport, Forest Park, Edgewood, Springdale and White Oak, Ohio, in one of three ways:

  1. You can apply for social security by calling the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
  2. And you see if you qualify by visiting the nearest Cincinnati SSA regional office and applying for social security benefits in person.
