If you have questions about applying for Leesburg Social Security benefits, then you have come to the right place! We are sharing the top three things you should know to get started.

Check If You Are Eligible to Receive Benefits

One of the first items to confirm whether you’re eligible for Leesburg Social Security benefits is if you’ve worked jobs that are covered by Social Security. Examples of jobs that might not be covered by Social Security include state, county, and municipal employees covered by pension plans funded by the state, railroad employees covered by a separate pension system, and U.S. government employees hired before 1984.

Confirm That You Are Considered Disabled By The Social Security Administration’s Definition

The next item to consider is if you have a medical condition that qualifies as a disability by the Social Security Administration’s definition. If your condition is considered severe and limits your ability to complete basic work activities, such as standing, walking, and sitting, for at least 12 months, then you may be considered disabled. If you also have limited capabilities of remembering, then you may also be considered disabled. Disabilities may be physical or mental disabilities. Keep in mind that you will not be eligible to receive Leesburg Social Security benefits for partial or short-term disability.

Other Circumstances

There may be additional situations in which you can receive Social Security benefits, including but not limited to:

• Benefits payable to a disabled widow or widower
• Blind or have low vision
• Benefits for a disabled child
• Adults disabled before age 22

We recommend checking the Social Security Administration website or consulting your Social Security attorney for more information to see if you qualify to receive benefits. Once you’ve completed your research, it’s time to apply!
