AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I was injured in
an automobile accident and
have been unable to work for
about five months. The doctor
says I should be able to go
back to work in a few more
weeks. Am I eligible to receive
disability benefits from social
security for the months I’m not
able to work?
ANSWER: No. Social security
disability benefits are not pay
able on acount of temporary
disability. A person must have
a disability that is expected to
be of a long continued and in
definite duration.
QUESTION: I have worked
many years as a professional
musician although I am totally
blind. Work is now scarce and
my yearly earnings are much
lower than they used to be.
Can I have my social security
account frozen? I understand
that this would keep my future
benefits from being reduced
because of my present lack of
work.
ANSWER: Contact your so
cial security office. They will
explain the effect of a disabil
ity freeze in your case. A per
son who is totally blind, un
like persons with other types
of disabilities, may have his so
cial security record frozen even
though he is able to work, but
you will have to file an appli
cation.
