a number of factors. It is impossible to give a relative number as there
are so many different cases, however if you speak with a representative
from our firm, we may be able to help you calculate a rough estimate of
your benefits. Your benefits may be affected over time, if you were in
the military or employed in railroad construction then your benefits may
also be affected.

in various jobs that are/were covered by social security, and you must
have a medical condition that social security defines as a disability.

is a form that you will fill out before being employed by this company.
There will also generally be a form for you to fill out acknowledging
that a job is not covered by social security.
Q: What medical issues are considered disabilities?
A: A disability according to the social security department is only a total
disability, partial disabilities are not considered severe enough to be
payable with benefits. A disability means that you are unable to perform
the work that you did before, it is determined that you cannot adjust
to other work because of this disability, your disability is expected
to last more than one year, or to result in death.
