Social Security disability benefits for citizens of the USAYes, you can. You pay into the US Social Security system every time you receive a paycheck. Therefore, you are entitled to benefits if you can no longer work due to a disability. As long as your NHL (or the side-effects of your treatment) debilitate you to the point where you can no longer perform any kind of meaningful work, you are eligible to receive benefits.
Unfortunately, this process is not easy and can take up to a year or more before you are approved. There are some vital steps you should review before you apply or consider applying for Social Security disability benefits. The first and most important step in applying for Social Security disability is that you cannot be working. If your application states that you are working, the Social Security administration will deny your application immediately. Secondly, you have to be able to prove that you are not capable of doing any type of meaningful work, whether it be labor-intensive or sedentary. Third, you will need all medical documentation from your doctors explaining both the severity of your condition as well as the side-effects of your treatment. Lastly, you should proofread your application a number of times to provide all fields and relevant information are filled out before sending it in, as an incorrectly filled out form will result in an immediate denial by the SSA.
