Will Filing for Bankruptcy Keep me from Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits?

Federal law mandates that individuals who file for bankruptcy are not discriminated against.  An individual that has filed for bankruptcy is a part of a protected class that encompasses all of his/her rights as an American. Filing for bankruptcy does not bar an individual from receiving or applying for Social Security Disability benefits or any other federal non-credit based aide.

There are many myths about the results of bankruptcy that keep hard-working individuals from receiving the financial relief they truly need.  It is important to discuss your thoughts and fears with experienced bankruptcy counsel to separate truth from fact.
