Are you unable to work due to a medical condition or disability? You may qualify for disability benefits through the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) if so.

Various factors can influence whether you win or lose your disability hearing. Common warning signs indicating you’ve lost a hearing include the following:
If you cannot work due to the effects of cancer, then there are options available to help pay for daily living needs. One of these options is applying for disability benefits which are provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to applicants whose cancer prevents them from working for at least 12 months.
On August 22, 2023 the Social Security Administration announced that that they will no longer be accepting applications by fax.
