My rants about social security help
Being fully insured means that you were working for a minimum number of quarters and paying into the Social Security system when you became disabled. Social Security Disability benefits are not like regular social security benefits. You must also be employed for a continued period of 12 months before you are injured or become ill to be eligible also. People who are deemed disabled and eligible for social security disability will receive monthly payments just like they were getting social security retirement benefits. An Administrative Law judge or a Social Security Administrator are the ones who approve or disapprove social security claims.
