You may be entitled to benefits: the SSI and SSDI program at a glance
More than half of the initial applicants are rejected for social security every year. Qualifying for social security benefits requires proof of your disability. Experienced Biloxi social security lawyers understand how to present your evidence in the most favorable light. For many, losing their social security claim has devastating consequences. Those who are disabled who do not have an alternative source of income potentially face homelessness. The SSI and SSDI systems provide monthly payments from the federal government for our most vulnerable citizens. These payments can cover the cost of living, and in some cases the SSI and SSDI systems also provide medical coverage.
Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?
Social security lawyers are very affordable. When you hire a social security attorney, you only pay them attorney fees if you win your claim. So, you only pay if you get paid. Thankfully, the government has placed restrictions on how much a social security lawyer can charge a claimant. Specifically, they cannot charge you more than 25% of the past due benefits that are awarded to you. Even then, that 25% figure cannot exceed $6,000 total. So, claimants are always protected by the social security system. By filling out the questionnaire on the left, an experienced Biloxi Social Security attorney will contact you.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
The Social Security system was created in part, to provide disability payments to our most vulnerable citizens: those who cannot work due to an injury. The injury must keep you from working for at least a year or more. Under the system, there are two types of disability programs: SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income). Both are explained below.
Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) – Work with a Knowledgeable Biloxi Disability Insurance Attorney Today
To qualify for SSDI monthly payments, you must establish a work history of paying into social security as well as a qualifying disability. So, not everyone qualifies for the SSDI program. Those who receive disability payments under SSDI may also qualify for Medicare coverage. Contact an experienced Biloxi SSDI lawyer to learn about your options.
The federal SSI program – work with a qualified Biloxi Disability Attorney
Unlike SSDI, you do not have to demonstrate a work history to be eligible for SSI. To qualify for SSI, you must suffer from a disability that prevents you from working for a year or more, and make less than a minimum threshold of money. SSI checks are paid monthly. In addition, you may be eligible for more money from your state, Medicaid, and food stamps. Call your Biloxi SSI lawyer for more details.
How does the application and appeal process work? - Biloxi Disability Appeals attorney
You can begin the application process online, in person, or by phone. The process can take a while because the number of applications is generally very high. Usually, you have to wait anywhere between three and six months, maybe longer. Once you get your results, you will either receive a notice of payments, or you will be denied. In which case, you can appeal the decision in person or have your attorney appear on your behalf.
