Don’t Let a Social Security Disability Denial Cost You Everything
When the Social Security Administration denies your disability claim, the personal and financial consequences can be devastating. Here’s what you risk losing while fighting for your SSDI benefits:
Lost Backdated Benefits
- Miss Out on Thousands in Back Pay: SSDI benefits can be backdated up to 12 months from your application date.
- Lose Accumulated Benefits: The average 2024 SSDI monthly payment is $1,521.74, which puts up to $18,231 in annual benefits at risk.
- Medicare Coverage Delays: Your Medicare eligibility period doesn’t start until your benefits are approved
- Cost-of-Living Adjustments: Miss out on automatic benefit increases that protect against inflation.
Financial Security at Risk
- Draining Emergency Funds: Forced to deplete savings accounts meant for your future.
- Retirement Account Penalties: Early withdrawal fees and taxes from accessing 401(k) or IRA funds
