Good day. I am your host, attorney Anthony Reeves. So let's go ahead and get to your questions. What does it mean to receive a letter telling you that you meet the non technical requirements for a Social Security program? Okay, if you're applying for Social Security disability, typically there are two components.
There's a non medical component and there's a medical component. Now, the medical component I've talked about in a variety of videos. You're basically proving the Social Security that you're disabled. Moving that to the side. Then there's the non medical portion. Almost every program has a technical part to it. Why do I say a technical part, because the reality is if you don't meet those technical parts, they usually don't even go to the medical part. For instance, let's assume that you want to apply for disability benefits based on the time you paid into the Social Security system. Well, let's say you didn't work as much as you think and you didn't earn what we call quarters of coverage. So out of nowhere, you get a letter that says, you
know, you fail to meet the non medical abortions because you don't have enough quarters of coverage. What does that mean? That means they don't care how disabled you are, you don't qualify for the program because you haven't aid enough into the system. That's a non medical abortion. Let's say from an SSI supplemental Security income. They're looking at your assets or your resources. Let's say that you're homeless, you've hardly ever worked, but out of nowhere, you're an auto accident. You got like this one sum of one hundred thousand dollars, and so you get a letter saying, oh, you don't meet them.
You don't meet the technical requirements. Why because you got too much money? Because SSI is a need based program, same thing widows benefits. They look at it from a technicality standpoint of were you're married to the individual, how long you were married to them, what's your marital status now? And there's a window I believe the nine or seen years after they pass, plus being over the age of fifty with a disability, do you meet all those criteria specifically? So when you receive a non medical portion, they're basically telling you of the two parts of the program. If they're usually going to either one, tell you you don't satisfy one or you don't satisfy the other.
So it's a normal letther that they provide on a regular basis. Okay, As always, I am Attorney Anthony Reeves. Keep those questions coming. I appreciate you leaving messages on my Google Voice mind.
