Applying for SSI or SSDI can make a serious difference

It is not easy to qualify for social security benefits in every case. Roughly 65% of people are initially turned down. However, you can dramatically increase your odds of winning your benefits claim by working with an experienced Beaumont social security lawyer. This is because most SS attorneys have learned what criteria the review board is looking for. If you win your claim, you will be entitled to a monthly benefit payment from the federal government. In many cases, you can also qualify for medical care. For example, SSDI claimants can potentially qualify for Medicare benefits, while SSI claimants qualify for Medicaid benefits.

Aren’t lawyers expensive to hire? How can I hire a qualified Beaumont social security lawyer?

Because the people who need a social security lawyer usually do not have a source of income, social security lawyers structure their fees to make their services affordable. Why are they affordable? Answer: they work on a “contingency” basis. That means they only get paid if you get paid. In fact, the federal government actually caps the amount that a social security attorney can charge. First, they are generally limited to a maximum of 25% of the back pay owed to you (as opposed to future payments). That means that if you are owed $10,000 in payments from the months prior to your decision, the attorney can only make $2,500. Second, a social security lawyer cannot make more than $6,000 from your case, total. Contacting you Beaumont Social Security lawyer is as easy as filling out the questionnaire on the left.

Eligibility for either SSDI or SSI

Two separate social security programs provide disability payments to injured people: SSI and SSDI (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance). To earn disability payments under either one, you must suffer from an injury that (1) prevents you from working for a year or more, or (2) will result in death. Short-term injuries are not covered by the social security system.

Do you qualify for SSDI? – Work with a Knowledgeable Beaumont Disability Insurance Attorney Soon

SSDI pays disability payments to those who have a qualifying work history, who are disabled. For that reason, not everyone is eligible for SSDI. To qualify, you will have to show, in addition to proving your disability, that you have worked a certain percentage of your previous years (depending on your age). Medicare medical coverage is also available to some SSDI recipients. Contact your Beaumont SSDI lawyer to learn more now.

SSI: a welfare-based program - Contact an experienced Beaumont Disability Attorney

SSI is truly a last line of defense for those who are disabled and have no money. SSI is welfare-based, which means that it is paid out regardless of your work history (unlike SSDI).
