Waiting on Decision?
Greenville Social Security Lawyer
Timothy Burch says that one of the hardest things for his clients is waiting on a decision from the
Social Security Administration. Hearings often take 12 months from the reconsideration stage and the waiting is one of the hardest parts. The disabled client is often barely hanging on and it seems there is no help out there to carry you over from month to month while waiting on a decision. There is tremendous pressure to do some work, even on a part time basis to get by. Technically, the disabled person is allowed to make these trial work attempts as long as they earn less than than the
amount allowed by the Government. If you are seeking disability, call an experienced
Greenville Social Security Lawyer to assist you so that your application and appeals are processed quickly and efficiently to minimize the time in the system and the time that you are forced to go without while waiting on a decision.

Disability beneficiaries’ earnings limits: If you work while receiving disability benefits you must tell us about your earnings no matter how little you earn. You may have unlimited earnings during a trial work period of up to nine months (not necessarily in a row) and still receive full benefits. Once you have completed your nine-month trial work period, we will determine if you are still entitled to disability benefits. You also may be eligible for other work incentives to help you make the transition back to work. |
