After suffering an injury or illness that results in physical impairment, or if you suffer from a mental disorder, you may not be able to return to work. If this is the case, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Las Vegas SSDI benefits are available for an employee who has worked long enough for an employer that offered coverage and who had been working recently in covered employment prior to the disability.
Spouses of disabled workers may be eligible for benefits, as well, if they have at least one child under the age of 16 or a disabled child in their care or if they are at least 62 years old. This also applies to a divorced spouse if the marriage lasted at least ten years. In addition, children of disabled workers can receive benefits if they are a minor or a high school student under the age of 19.
