Social Security Disability (SSD) payments are based on what you have paid in taxes. The government gives you credits when you work. Each year, you can earn up to 4 credits (one for each quarter of the year). You earn credits based upon how much money you earn. For example, in 2010, a worker will earn one credit for every $1,120 they earn and report as wages on their taxes.
In order to file a claim, subcontractors, suppliers and laborers must follow a number of procedures so that their claim is accepted. Before filing a payment bond claim, they must file a preliminary notice of a claim, within a period of time after the completion of their work.
