What Information Do I Need to Apply for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits in Texas?

A: In your initial application for Texas Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you have to prove that you have worked for a significant amount of time in jobs with Social Security coverage. You must also prove that you have a disability, which is either fatal or that will last for more than a year, that prevents you from working in your field.

To complete the disability benefits application process, you will need the following information:

• Your Social Security number card, as well as Social Security number information for your spouse and dependent children

• Your birth certificate

• Your tax information from last year

• Military discharge information, if applicable

• Contact information for a doctor or other professional who is familiar with your disability

• Contact information for any medical professionals, hospitals, or doctors' offices that have treated you

• A list of your medications and the doctors that prescribed them

• A list of medical tests, test results, and the person who ordered the tests

• A summary of your job history, including your last five employers

• Any information on past workers' compensation claims filed

• Any information on past insurance claims filed

It is vital that your disability claim proves that your disability qualifies your for SSDI benefits and proves that your disability prevents you from continuing your career. If your initial SSDI benefits application has been rejected or if you have other questions or concerns with your case, contact a Texas disability lawyer today for assistance.
