Ohio SSDI and SSI Requirements
Every state operates an agency that orders medical records and makes disability decision based on them under the governance of the federal Social Security Administration (SSA). Disability approval boards working in one county in Ohio might have different standards for acceptance than a board in another county. It is important that your SSDI attorney understands how to prepare a claim that is successful in Ohio. Typically in Ohio, the SSA will expect you to have been paying into the SSDI plan through your employer for five years in the previous 10-year period. There are exceptions made for workers under 30 who have not had a long work history. Your Berger and Green lawyer will answer questions specific to your circumstances.
Ohio SSI
The SSA provides supplemental security income for individuals who have been unable to work and unable contribute to the federal disability insurance program through federal taxes. To qualify for Supplemental Security Income, you must be unable to work for at least 12 consecutive months and meet certain low income requirements. The state agency in your area of Ohio is responsible for reviewing all SSI applications and making disability decisions on these claims
