Although Michigan courts have returned to mostly in-person hearings since the peak of the pandemic, the technology is now in place to have functional remote hearings, and remote hearings remain available under some circumstances. Although the future is more unpredictable than ever, our team is dedicated to addressing our clients’ needs in any situation.

Eligibility for Disability Benefits Related to Long Covid

The long-term medical effects of the COVID-19 virus have been unclear, as new symptoms and prognoses have been developing in real time. One thing that is clear, is that Long COVID is a serious illness, which can cause some patients serious disabilities. If you are unable to work as a result of the symptoms of long COVID, you may be eligible for disability payments from the federal government. The eligibility for disability benefits, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), due to long COVID, depends on the severity of your symptoms and their impact on your ability to work. The Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates disability claims based on medical evidence and how the condition affects your daily functioning and work capacity.

To qualify for disability benefits, including those for long COVID, you generally need to meet the following criteria:

Medical Evidence: You must provide medical evidence that supports your claim. This may include documentation from medical professionals, hospital records, diagnostic tests, and other relevant medical information.

Duration of Disability: Your condition must be expected to last for at least 12 months or be terminal.

Inability to Work: Your condition must prevent you from performing substantial gainful activity (SGA). The SSA assesses your ability to perform work-related tasks, considering factors such as physical and mental limitations, education, work experience, and age.

It's important to note that the SSA evaluates each case individually, and meeting the specific criteria is crucial. Long COVID symptoms can vary widely, and some individuals may experience significant impairments that meet the requirements for disability benefits, while others may not.

If you are considering applying for disability benefits due to long COVID, the qualified disability lawyers at Neumann Law Group can help you navigate the application process, gather the necessary medical evidence, and present your case to the SSA in the most effective way. Keep in mind that the rules and regulations may evolve, so staying informed about the latest guidance from the SSA is essential.

I was involved in a terrible motor vehicle accident and was able to obtain a large settlement that will take care of me for the rest of my life.
