After you apply for Social Security Disability benefits in Maryland you begin a waiting period. It can take between 3-5 months to get an initial decision on your application, or reconsideration of your initial decision back from the Social Security Administration. It can sometimes take over 20 months to set a hearing date before an administrative law judge.If you have already stopped working or are unable to work due to your medical conditions, you may be wondering what you can do while you wait for a decision from the Social Security Administration.

Maryland’s Department of Human Resources offers Temporary Disability Assistance or TDAP for some individuals. The program is funded through the State of Maryland to provide help to low income, disabled Maryland residents without dependent children. There are eligibility requirements found here and two ways to apply.
