Because of Issues with Social Security, we are experiencing significant delays in the processing of claims.  There is a backlog of claims that have been stuck at the initial application levels and reconsideration levels.  This may affect you!  Here is a short video about what is going on.

If you know anyone who may need Social Security disability benefits, please give them my number, forward this email to them, or click the links below that will share on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

I will listen to them and help them understand Social Security Disability and if they may qualify. Remember, I never charge for consultations.  And there is never a fee unless we win.

Please remember. I work for you. I am your advocate! If you have concerns, please contact me.

“And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly before your God.”  Micah 6:8

Short Answer: YES!

Periodically Social Security reviews your case to see if you are still disabled.  This is called a CDR which stands for “Continuing Disability Review.” It is important that you understand what a CDR is and how to prepare for it. 

A CDR is a continuing disability review that Social Security performs periodically in order to ensure that, after you have received SSI or SSDI benefits, you are still disabled and entitled to those benefits.  Social Security normally reviews cases every 1½ to 3 years but it depends on the severity and permanency of your condition.  

If you can show that you continue to have a medical condition that keeps you from working and you are under medical care, your benefits will likely continue.  Over 90% of adults who undergo CDR’s have their benefits continued.  If you follow these tips that I’ve given you, the odds of you losing your benefits will be reduced.

If you receive paperwork from Social Security about a continuing disability review, here is a link to a good website that provides insightful information about how to complete CDR forms, how to document your claim and what to expect: https://www.lsnjlaw.org/legal-topics/disability/ssdi-ssi/pages/continuing-disability-ssi-aspx

“And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly before your God.”  Micah 6:

Right now we are hearing a lot on the news about the debt ceiling and the idea that Social Security may cease to be funded.  Politicians use Social Security as a political football.  Please watch my video to get the truth.

Right now we are hearing a lot of threats that Social Security will run out of money if an agreement is not made by the political entities to raise the debt ceiling.  Will Social Security run out of money?  The short answer is – NO.  Social Security benefits will continue to be paid from the Social Security trust fund.  While there may be some delays in some Social Security services, checks  should continue to be issued on schedule.

Social Security money collected through FICA taxes are placed in a Social Security trust fund.  The trust fund is managed by the Department of the Treasury.  Initially the trust fund was supposed to be a secure fund separate from the national budget.  Unfortunately, the government has periodically borrowed from these funds.  Right now the government has borrowed approximately $2.7 trillion from the Social Security trust fund.  There are threats that Social Security will run out of money by 2033.  This is because fewer workers will be contributing toward the trust fund.  However, I have heard these threats for 20 years.  It has never happened.  I believe the US government is dedicated to honoring their commitment to the Social Security recipients.

Please remember that it is income tax season.  Nobody likes to talk about taxes.  I know I don’t.  But I am here for you and I do not want you to be caught unaware.  Some SSDI/SSI benefits are taxed. You may have to pay federal income taxes on a portion of your Social Security benefits if you have other substantial income in addition to your benefits (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends, and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return). You may choose to have federal income taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit.  If you are not sure if you’re benefits will be taxed or not it is important that you talk to a tax advisor. Click the video link below to learn more….

While I cannot help you with your taxes, I certainly want you to be aware of the requirements.  If you cannot determine from the information on the Social Security website (www.ssa.gov/planners/taxes.html) or from the information below, A tax preparer will be able to look at your specific income to help you determine if you have to pay taxes. 

Each January, you will receive a Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099) showing the amount of benefits you received in the previous year. You can use this Benefit Statement when you complete your federal income tax return to find out if your benefits are subject to tax.

If you currently live in the United States and you misplaced or didn’t receive a Form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S for the previous tax year, you can get an instant replacement form by using your online my Social Security account. If you don’t already have an account, you can create one online. To get your replacement Form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, select the “Replacement Documents” tab to get the form.

If you know anyone who may need Social Security disability benefits, please give them my number.

I will listen to them and let them know if they have a good case or not. Remember, I never charge for consultations.  And there is never a fee unless we win.

To get or keep your Social Security Disability Benefits, you must have medical records that prove you are disabled from working.  Your doctor may be able to help you if you know what to talk to them about.  Listen to my video which will help you get and keep your Disability Benefits.  THIS IS IMPORTANT!  Take a minute to listen to my video to help you secure your Social Security Disability benefits.

The number one mistake that people make while applying for Social Security Disability or after receiving disability is, they do not seek regular medical treatment.  I recommend that you see your doctor at least every 3 months.  The very foundation of your case is medical records.  You must see your doctor on a regular basis. 

What you tell your doctor is vitally important.  Every time you see a doctor, tell them how your medical or mental problems affect your ability to do things.  For example, Instead of saying “I hurt real bad” or “I feel anxious” it is better to  give your doctor an example, “My pain is so bad I cannot be on my feet long enough to wash the dishes” or “I can’t even go to the grocery store or church.  I get so anxious I can’t be around people.”  Examples of how your condition affects your ability to do things is the best way to communicate with your doctor.  Your doctor or the doctor’s nurse will put it in the notes and Social Security will read them.

If you do this on a regular basis, it will help you obtain and keep your benefits. 

Remember, going to your doctor on a regular basis, being compliant with their instructions including taking your medications as prescribed, is critical.  Also, it is important to tell them the problems you’re having doing things every time you see them. These are keys to getting and keeping your Social Security benefits. Remember, you are now part of the Adams and Associates Disability family and we are here for you.
