My question is: Does one have to be out of work to apply for this disability? I may be fired soon, but I'm wondering if I could collect any benefits for all the days I've missed and was not paid any benefits for.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

For Social Security disability payments you do not necessarily have to completely stop work. You just have to be working under what is called substantial gainful activity, currently considered to be $960 a month. People working and earning above this amount are considered to be not disabled.

There are many work incentives while you're receiving disability to try to let people get back to working, such as trial work periods where you continue to receive benefits for several months even if you're earning above SGA. This allows you to keep collecting without interruption if you aren't able to keep up the work. You can get more info on the Social Security website.
