The only way to know, for sure, if you are elibible for social security disability benefits is to file an application for benefits.  Upon receiving your application, the first thing the Social Security Administration will do is look to see if you have acquired enough credits.  Credits are based on how much money you have earned while working in a job and paying Social Security Taxes.  The credits you earn remain on your Social Security record even if you change jobs or do not have earnings for a while.

If you have further questions about this or anything else relating to filing a claim, please call Markhoff & Mittman toll free, 1-866-205-2415, for a FREE consultation with one of our disability specialists.  Of, complete the form on our website and one of our attorneys will contact you.
