How long can I receive Social Security Disability benefits?
In Virginia, the amount of time you can receive Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits depends on a few factors. Generally, you can receive benefits for as long as you remain medically disabled. That means if you are no longer able to work due to a disability, you can continue to get benefits until you recover or your disability worsens. However, there are some time limits for certain SSD benefits. For example, if you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and are between the ages of 18 and 65, you can receive benefits for up to five years. After that, you have to reapply for benefits if you are still medically disabled. There is also a “presumptive disability” period. This is a period of up to nine months during which time you are considered to be disabled even if your medical condition has not been officially determined. During this time, you can receive SSI benefits. Finally, it is important to note that the Social Security Administration reviews all SSD cases periodically to determine if you are still eligible for benefits. If it is determined that you are no longer disabled, your benefits could be stopped at any time. In summary, you can receive SSD benefits for as long as you remain medically disabled. However, there are certain time limits for certain benefits and the Social Security Administration can stop your benefits at any time if you are determined to be no longer disabled.
