Our goal is to publish clear, accurate and current introductory information for people researching a first Social Security Disability application.
Sources
We prioritize primary sources, especially SSA.gov, federal regulations and official program publications. Each guide lists its main sources so readers can verify details and reach the official service.
Authors and review
Our benefits writers are Tenly Kesef, Lev Lee, Leigh Casher, Bella Gahn and Todd Summit. Each guide identifies its writer. Editorial review checks factual statements against the linked primary sources, confirms that time-sensitive figures are dated, and separates general information from an individual eligibility decision.
Updates and corrections
Every guide displays a reviewed date. We revisit pages when SSA changes annual figures, forms or program guidance. Send a correction request to BusinessAffairs@mediamerchantsgroup.com with the page URL and supporting source.
Scope
Educational pages do not replace SSA instructions, professional advice or an official decision. The screening questionnaire does not file an application with Social Security.
