how long do i have to work before i can received disability?

Question

i need to be off work just started working 3months ago

Answer 1

i believe you have to be off for a year, or have proof that your injury will cause you not to be able to work for a year...at least if you are talking about disability payments from Social Security.

Answer 2

Getting on disabilty is very hard to do and in most cases people fight for years before they even get on it. Most people have to hire attorneys to even get the interviews. It doesn't totally depend on how long someone has worked or even how disabled they are. I tryed 4 years ago after 9 surgerys and alot of other health reason and I was turned down, was told I could still work 1 hour a week and that alone disqualified me 4 years later 16 surgerys, can't walk well with out help and they still say nope I am still able to work at least 1 hour a week which is crap. But any way good luck cause it is not easy to get on.

Answer 3

read your company policy handbook Human resources will have it, or just ask them, I'm on disability, my company offered long term and short term policies you had to work for 6 months to qualify for those. Human resources should help you out,esp if you are really disabled, disability is not paid by your company, but by an insurance company and THEY will make sure you are disabled before paying, so don't think a hang nail will do it. unemployment is not an option of course call social security too if things don't work out I don' think you have to work long at One company for ssdi,just alot of straightforward paperwork not rocket science.

Geez people go easy on this guy, people do get injured/ sick in this life. I was a healthy 29 year old and was diagnosed with a brain tumor after working over 7 years , say i started working there 3 months prior, it would be the same story.

Answer 5

lenghth of time working is not a factor in deciding eligibility for disability... with workmans comp if you got hurt at work even if you were only employed there for 1 minute you are still intitled, with disability insurance it depends on the type insurance you have and if it pays benefits for temporary disabilites or long term disabilities or totally disabled, with social security it depends on the same things as insurance plus your age

Answer 6

For SSI you don't need to have worked at all.
It will take a while for the paperwork to go through. Anywhere from six months to two years.

Answer 7

have to work until you can get a Dr. to diagnose a disability. look for a job that you enjoy. maybe one you can do from home. check with Donald trump, see if he will pay you to be his critic.

Answer 8

Your question indicates that you are mentally disabled.

I will say go ahead and file for disability.

Answer 9

u can't receive disability checks if you're NOT disabled. You're looking to get unemployment checks and you can't get those unless you're laid off or fired from my understanding.
