Your Social Security Benefits are determined by the income you have earned and received, primarily over the past 5 years.

Generally, you should receive a Social Security Statement once a year, or you can get your Social Security Statement by visiting the Social Security government website online by simply clicking on the Social Security website link on my website:

You will notice the Social Security link on the right-hand side of my main page.

You can also get a Social Security statement by calling your local Social Security office or stopping in and requesting one.

This is an important annual piece of information for you to have, since your Social Security statement will show you your annual earnings since you started working, what your retirement benefits would be if you continued earning the same amount until you retired, what your disability benefits would be if you became disabled, and what kind of benefits would be available to your spouse and children, if any, dependent upon variables.

If you or someone you know is disabled and don't know what to do, who to talk to, if you need representation and if so, who to represent you, contact me.

You can contact me by clicking the Contact link on my main page, answer the questions, and send it to me (be sure your phone number is included, so I can call you), or you can call me.

I deal only with Social Security and Labor cases, with my concentration being in Social Security Disability cases. It is my specialty since 2001.
