SSI and SSDI: your safety net
The statistics show that the majority of initial applications are denied: between 65% and 70%. However, you can dramatically increase your odds of winning your benefits claim by working with an experienced Canton social security lawyer. This is because most SS attorneys have learned what criteria the review board is looking for. The difference between winning your social security claim and losing your social security claim are often dramatic. For example, without an alternative source of income, and without the ability to work (due to disability), many people face homelessness and hunger..The relief provided by the monthly payments from SSI and SSDI claims provide a necessary security blanket. In some cases, claimants may be entitled to medical care through the Medicaid or Medicare systems.
Aren’t lawyers expensive to hire? How can I hire a qualified Canton social security lawyer?
Contrary to what people think about lawyers, Social Security lawyers tend to be very affordable. In most every case, social security lawyers work on a “contingency” fee. That means they only get paid if you win your social security benefits claim. Statutorily, social security attorneys can only make the following: the smaller amount of (1) 25% of back pay awarded to you, or (2) $6,000 total. The social security administration has to approve the amount of the attorney fees at the time you are awarded your benefits. There is no reason to contact an experienced Canton Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.
Eligibility for either SSDI or SSI
Both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) have strict requirements. Both systems provide disability payments to those who cannot work for a year or more due to an injury. While related, these programs are quite different.
SSDI - Contact an experienced Canton Disability Insurance Attorney Now
SSDI is a federal insurance program that pays disability benefits to people who have paid into the social security system. To qualify, you must be disabled and have a work history of paying social security taxes. Thus, not everyone can qualify. Those who do qualify may also be eligible for Medicare coverage, depending on the duration of your disability. Contact an SSDI attorney to learn if you may qualify.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – Talk to an experienced Canton Disability Attorney
The SSI system is designed to provide a minimum threshold of income to those who are disabled, blind, or 65 and older, who do not make much money. Those who qualify receive a monthly check (usually much less than SSDI amounts). You may also receive more money from your state. Unlike SSDI, claims are paid from general tax revenues. Thus, you do not need to have paid into the social security system to qualify for SSI payments. Those who qualify for SSI also may receive Medicaid coverage from the government (Medical Care). Fill out the form to contact an experienced Canton SSI lawyer.
