What you Need to Know When You Become Disabled From WorkingIt is important to understand that the Social Security disability system is meant for those who have been disabled or are expected to be disabled from gainful employment (that is, from working any job for which they are reasonably suited by age, education and experience, making simply $1550.00 per month). Assuming you've only recently gone out of work and the prospects for returning to work appear grim, we will certainly go over your various options with you. While it may be appropriate to apply for Social Security disability, it may also be appropriate to seek transitional assistance benefits through either your town/city or the Department of Transitional Assistance (for potential cash assistance in the form of EAEDC (Emergency Aid to the Elderly Disabled and Children), food stamps and Mass Health).
