What Is Social Security Disability?
Social Security disability is a federal program that provides monthly financial assistance to people who are unable to work due to a long-term or permanent medical condition. It includes 2 main types of benefits:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
These programs are both managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), but they serve different people and have different eligibility rules.
What Is SSDI?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is designed for workers who’ve paid into the Social Security system through payroll taxes. The SSA will look at your condition, work history, education, and ability to do any job. If they decide you can’t perform any substantial work, you may be approved for monthly benefits.
What Is SSI?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Unlike SSDI, it doesn’t matter if you’ve worked in the past since eligibility is based on financial need.
Social Security Disability Requirements: Do You Qualify?
To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must meet both medical and non-medical requirements.
The SSA defines a disability as a condition that:
- Prevents you from doing your previous work
- Prevents you from adjusting to other work
- Is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death
SSA uses a 5-step evaluation process to determine whether your medical condition meets this definition. They’ll also consider your age, education level, and work experience to see if any other job is a realistic option for you.
They rely on a medical guide known as the “Blue Book“, which lists conditions that are considered disabling. But even if your condition isn’t listed, you may still qualify by proving that it limits your ability to function and work.
For SSDI: You need to have earned enough work credits, which are based on your work history and Social Security tax contributions.
- You generally earn up to 4 credits per year of work
- Most adults need at least 40 credits, with 20 of those credits earned in the last 10 years
- Younger workers may qualify with fewer credits
Your exact requirement depends on your age when you became disabled. The longer you’ve worked and contributed to Social Security, the more likely you are to meet this rule.
For SSI: There’s no work history requirement. Instead, you must have limited income and resources.
A disability attorney can help you determine what type of disability benefits you may be eligible for and gather the right documentation to prove your case.
Our Results Speak For Themselves
What Do SSDI Benefits Cover?
When your disability keeps you from earning a living, SSDI can help protect your finances, your health, and your family’s future.
Here’s how SSDI benefits can work for you:
- Monthly Payments to Cover Basic Needs: SSDI provides regular monthly payments to help you pay for essentials like rent, groceries, utilities, and transportation. The amount you receive depends on your past earnings and is calculated using your personal work history.
- Access to Medicare: Once you’ve received benefits for 2 years, you automatically become eligible for Medicare. This includes hospital insurance, medical insurance, and optional prescription drug coverage.
- Extra Protection for Your Family: Your benefits may extend beyond you. If you have dependent children, a spouse, or other family members, they may qualify for monthly benefits based on your record.
- Cost-of-Living Increases: SSDI benefits are adjusted each year based on inflation through something called a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). This means your monthly benefit can increase slightly over time to help offset rising costs, ensuring your money keeps up with real-world expenses.
If you’re unsure what your benefits should cover or are worried you’re missing out on the support you deserve, a skilled Social Security disability attorney in Brockton can help. At Jim Glaser Law, we help make sure you get all the benefits you may be entitled to, so reach out to us today.
How to Apply for Social Security Disability in Brockton
Getting started with your SSDI claim doesn’t have to be confusing. Follow these simple steps to give yourself the best chance of approval:
- Check If You Qualify: Make sure your condition prevents you from working and is expected to last at least 12 months.
- Collect Medical and Work Records: Gather documentation that shows your diagnosis, treatment history, and how your condition limits your ability to work. You’ll also need details about your past jobs.
- Submit Your Application:
- Online at SSA.gov
- By phone at 1-800-772-1213
- In person at the Brockton SSA office: 30 Christy’s Drive, Brockton, MA 02301
- Wait for a Decision: The SSA may take 3–6 months to respond. They may request more information or a medical exam during this time.
- Appeal If Denied: Don’t panic—most people are denied at first. You can appeal, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
Need help applying? Let Jim Glaser Law guide you through the process from day one and help make sure your claim is built for success. Take the first step with a free consultation.
Denied Disability Benefits? We Can Help
Most Social Security disability claims are denied at first. That doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Our qualified attorneys guide Brockton residents through every stage of the appeals process, giving you the best chance at getting approved.
- Request for Reconsideration: You ask the SSA to take another look at your application. We’ll help strengthen your file with updated medical evidence and any corrections.
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: If denied again, we’ll represent you at a hearing before a judge. We’ll prepare you and your case thoroughly.
- Appeals Council Review: If the judge denies your claim, we can ask the Appeals Council to review the decision.
- Federal Court Case: As a last resort, we can file a lawsuit in federal court.
Having a lawyer during the appeals process significantly improves your chances of securing your benefits. Jimmy Knows!® how to fight back after a denial, so contact us today for help with your appeal.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

Brockton, MA, Disability FAQs
SSDI payments are based on your work history and how much you’ve contributed to Social Security over the years. People with longer or higher-earning work histories usually receive higher monthly payments. While the exact amount varies from person to person, the benefit is meant to help cover basic living expenses when you can’t work due to a disability.
Yes, having a lawyer from the beginning can make the process smoother and improve your chances of approval. A disability attorney knows how to avoid common mistakes, gather the right evidence, and communicate effectively with the SSA. With legal support, your claim is more likely to be approved the first time, and if you’re denied, you’ll have someone ready to fight for you through appeals.
Applicants with a lawyer generally have a much better chance of getting approved, especially during the appeals process. That’s because attorneys understand what the SSA is looking for and can present your case clearly, with strong documentation and persuasive arguments. The SSA’s rules can be complex, and having professional representation levels the playing field.
The time it takes varies depending on how complete your application is, whether additional information is needed, and if your case goes through appeals. Some applicants are approved in a few months, while others may wait longer. A lawyer for Social Security disability can help keep the process moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
Having a lawyer doesn’t necessarily make the SSA move faster, but it can prevent avoidable setbacks. Lawyers know how to submit accurate paperwork and supporting evidence the first time, which may reduce the chances of a denial and the need for an appeal. In the long run, that can save you valuable time.
