Disability is a subject you may
read about in the newspaper, but not think of as something that might actually
happen to you. But the chances of becoming disabled are probably greater
than you realize. Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a 3-in-10 chance
of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age. While
we spend a great deal of time working to succeed in our jobs and careers,
few of us think about ensuring that we have a safety net to fall back
on should we become disabled. This is an area where Social Security can
provide valuable help to you.
This disability planner will explain the benefits
available, how you can qualify, and who can receive benefits on your earnings
record. It will also explain how to apply for the benefits and what happens
when your application is approved.
