Social security lawyer florida and the stuff nobody tells you
For you to be eligible to be "insured" for SS Disability, you will generally (though not always) need to have earned 20 credits during the last ten years of work. This is a rolling ten year period that is supposed to end on the day that your disability is judged to have begun. Sadly, though, the rules that go into determining how many credits you have and need for the last ten years of work makes meeting your credit requirements rather difficult. A social security lawyer will tell you that this often happens when an applicant simply hasn't worked enough. Unfortuantely, though, it can also happen when you've waited too long to apply for SSD, or when a judge has decided to change your disability's official onset date.
