      Disability Benefit FAQ’s

      Are food stamps included as earnings in my disability benefits?
      The answer to this questions depends on the type of benefit you are applying for. In most cases, food stamps are not considered earnings that go towards SGA (substantial gainful activity). However, if you are applying for SSI, which is a needs-based program, Social Security may reduce the amount of benefits you will receive. For more information on this topic, watch this video with Michael Liner by clicking here. 

      There are no specific laws that require your payments to be lowered for rent, a mortgage, car note, and more while applying for or receiving disability benefits. However, at Liner Legal, we understand that while applying for or receiving benefits, your income is not the same as it was before you were disabled. That is why we hired our Client Concierge, Jordyn Paratore. She works with you to help in any way she can. To contact the office and speak to Jordyn, click here.

      Many people are experiencing “long haul” symptoms of COVID-19. While they have recovered COVID-19, symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and headaches are persisting. While disability benefits are not being granted specifically for COVID-19, we do have clients applying for disability benefits for their long-haul symptoms. For more information on this from Michael Liner, watch the video by clicking here.

      At Liner Legal, we understand that oftentimes, a caregiver in a home is not able to work. Currently, the SSA doesn’t offer caregivers specific disability benefits. However, our team at Liner Legal will be able to help you work with local programs that may be able to offer assistance. For more information on this topic, watch the video here. 

      The key to winning a disability case is not your word, promising that you have a disability. As your disability warriors, we have to prove you have a disability. Our lawyers have found that the key  to win your disability case lies in the medical records. Having thorough, clear, concise medical records documenting when your disability began and the treatment for the disability allows us to show your disability to a judge.
