Frequently Asked Questions — Social Security Disability in Nevada
What qualifies as a disability for Social Security benefits in Nevada?
SSA defines disability as an inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. SSA uses a 5-step evaluation process that considers: your work activity, impairment severity, whether it meets a listing in SSA's Blue Book, past work capacity, and ability to perform other work. A disability attorney can help document your case.
What should I do if my disability claim was denied?
Most initial SSDI applications are denied. You must file a Request for Reconsideration within 60 days of the denial. If denied again, request an ALJ hearing within 60 days. The hearing level is where most cases are won — approximately 50% of ALJ hearings result in approval. An attorney who prepares your medical records, obtains supporting statements, and represents you at the hearing significantly improves your odds. Don't give up after a denial.
How does Social Security calculate my disability benefit amount?
SSDI benefits are based on your average lifetime earnings covered by Social Security. SSA calculates your Primary Insurance Amount (PIA) from your AIME (Average Indexed Monthly Earnings). Benefits typically range from $600–$3,800/month depending on your earnings history. SSI benefits are set at a federal maximum ($943/month in 2024) less any countable income and resources. A disability attorney can help you understand your expected benefit.
Can I work while receiving Social Security Disability in Nevada?
SSI and SSDI both allow for limited work through SSA's work incentive programs. SSDI allows a trial work period (TWP) — you can work for 9 months over a rolling 60-month period while receiving full benefits. After TWP, SGA limits apply. SSI uses a complex income calculation formula. Any work activity must be reported to SSA. A disability attorney can advise on how work affects your benefits.
