Daly City, California, which is the largest city in San Mateo County, located just south of San Francisco, reported a population of about 101,123 in the 2010 census. Healthcare, city government, education, civil service, telecommunications and retail are the largest economic sectors in Daly City.
The population of Daly City is serviced by the Region 9 office of the Social Security Administration (SSA), which is physically based in San Francisco. The regional office has about 23,400 pending claims at any given time and distributes payments of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to more than 780,000 beneficiaries.
Individuals who receive SSDI benefits are disabled for an extended period and unable to work as a result. In order to qualify for disability, you must meet the SSA’s guidelines both in terms of disability and work credits. Work credits are achieved through payroll deduction contributions to SSDI fund. If you don’t have the work credits necessary to receive disability benefits, you may still be eligible for SSI.
Apply for Daly City Social Security Disability Benefits
The application, review and appeals processes for Daly City Social Security disability benefits are long and complicated. Having help from a Daly City disability lawyer when filing your claim for benefits can increase the chances you’ll be found eligible and can result in a quicker decision as well.
The SSA Region 9 office only approves about 30 percent of the initial applications it reviews. All other applicants must go through a reconsideration process and ultimately only about 12 percent are found eligible after the second review. If denied benefits again, applicants must file an appeal, which will send their claim before an administrative law judge for a final determination on eligibility.
The majority of SSD benefit claims which are denied don’t contain adequate medical documentation to fulfill the SSA’s requirements. A Daly City Social Security Disability attorney can review your application, help you get the medical care required, ensure all documentation is present in your disability file, and assist you through all stages of the application and review process for SSD. If needed, your Daly City Social Security Disability lawyer can help you prepare for testifying and can argue your appeal in front of the administrative law judge as well.
