If you have suffered an injury or suffer from an illness that has resulted in a disability to you, then you may be able to collect compensation from Social Security.

Many individuals do not realize that Social Security Taxes (FICA) are withheld from your individual paycheck as you have worked over the years. And if you are now disabled and you have had a job and paid into the Federal System then you may eligible for Disability Insurance Benefits as long as if you have paid a certain amount of Social Security tax over a specific period of time.

For an individual over 30 years of age to be insured for Disability Insurance Benefits, the person must have paid FICA in no less than twenty calendar quarters during the forty calendar quarters just prior to the time your total disability began. That means that you must have worked and paid Social Security tax for five out of the last ten years before you became totally disabled. Worker's who become disabled before age 31 need fewer quarters.

An individual must prove that he or she became disabled while disability insurance coverage was in force or that person is not entitled to Disability Insurance Benefits, even if the medical condition is very serious.
