Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?
Although attorneys can be expensive, a social security attorney is affordable, even for someone who does not have a job. 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. The government limits how much a social security attorney can charge you. They are limited to charging the lesser of: 25% of the back pay awarded to you, or a maximum of $6,000. So, an attorney cannot make more than $6,000 on your case, nor can he or she make more than 25% of the back pay owed to you. Thus, if you are awarded $20,000 in back pay, generally the max you can be charged is $6,000.

Eligibility for either SSDI or SSI
The Social Security System can provide you with monthly payments if you qualify. To qualify for either the SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) programs, you must meet their criteria. Generally, to qualify for either, you must suffer from an injury that prevents you from working for a year or more (or one that results in death). Both systems are explained below.
