What New York Residents Should Know About Disability Compensation Benefit Calculation

If you are a New York resident applying for Social Security disability benefits, you should know how the disability compensation benefit calculation works. This helps to determine the payment you are entitled to receive through Social Security Administration. A Bronx Social Security disability lawyer can help you with all of your disability questions.

An Overview of the Disability Compensation Benefit Calculation

Social Security Administration provides ways to calculate your potential Social Security disability benefits. You can choose from 3 different types of calculators.

One type is a quick calculator that will provide a rough estimate, after you put in your birth date and your earnings in the current year. The second type is an online calculator where you can also get an estimate on your Social Security disability benefits. Additionally, you can project your future earnings until the date of your retirement.

The last type is a detailed calculator that will provide precise estimates on your Social Security disability benefits. To use this calculator, you must first download and install it on your computer.

Payment of Social Security Disability Benefits

In general, benefits will begin when you have been disabled for at least 5 full months. You can expect to start receiving payments around the start of your 6^th month of disability. A notice is sent from Social Security Administration that indicates how much your benefits are and when they will begin.

Of course, when individuals apply for Social Security disability benefits, there is no guarantee they will receive what is expected or that their claim will even be approved. If you disagree with a decision that has been made, you have the right to hire a Bronx Social Security disability lawyer.

Social Security disability benefits are paid monthly. The date usually corresponds with your birth date. Until recently, payments were mailed. However, anyone applying for Social Security disability benefits on or after May 1, 2011, will now receive payments electronically.

Those who have already been receiving payments via mail will eventually have to switch over to direct deposit by March 1, 2013. This new system will ensure a safer and quicker process in receiving Social Security disability benefits.

If you have questions about your benefit payments and how they are calculated, or any other concerns, you should speak with a Bronx Social Security disability lawyer. Your attorney will help you with all aspects of your Social Security disability claim.
