Social Security provides two important benefits if you are found disabled.

Monthly payments for the extent of your disability.

Medical coverage.

The amount of your monthly payment is based on the number of years you have worked and the amount you have paid into the system through your payroll taxes.

The formula is complicated, but you can contact your local Social Security office and ask for an estimate of what amount you would have coming to you.

You are also entitled to medical coverage through Medicare if you are found disabled.

Medicare coverage starts approximately 3 years after your onset of disability.

This, of course, is a very important benefit.

Some people can be eligible for Medicaid immediately if they qualify financially.

Will The Judge Decide Today?

Will the Social Security Disability Judge tell me the day of my hearing whether I win my case?

It does not happen very often that the Disability Judge will tell you at the hearing that you have won.

The Judge will certainly not tell you that you have lost.

Probably security concerns.

Sometimes you can tell from the questions asked the vocational expert whether you will win.

The final decision has to be in writing.

It usually takes 45 to 60 days to get the final decision.

So you see, it takes a long time to get the hearing and more time to get the decision.
