The consequences of your SSI and SSDI application and appeal

If you have already applied and been rejected for social security benefits, you are among the majority. Importantly, you do not have to be among the number of people who do not qualify for benefits. If you have a disability, you can increase your chances of qualifying for social security benefits by contacting an experienced Paradise social security lawyer. Your attorney can help you make your case for SSI or SSDI benefits. You do not have to work alone. For many people, social security payments mean the difference between falling through society’s cracks and safety. This is because social security was designed to help those who are most vulnerable: those who suffer from a disability and who cannot work. For those who qualify, social security provides a safety net of monthly checks for the duration of your disability, in addition to other potential benefits such as medical care coverage and assistance from your state.

How do people afford to pay qualified Paradise Social Security lawyers?

If you think you can’t afford a social security attorney, think again. They’re not as expensive as you probably think. 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. 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. Don’t wait to contact an experienced Paradise Social Security lawyer. Fill out the form on the left.

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

The federal government created Social Security for a number of reasons. One of those reasons was to provide benefits to Americans who cannot work due to an injury. The injury must last at least one year, and prevent you from working. There are two different programs that give rise to disability payments under the Social Security System: SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income). Both programs provide relief to injured Americans, but they are different from each other.

SSDI: Federal Workers Insurance for the Disabled - Contact a Knowledgeable Paradise Disability Insurance Attorney Today

SSDI is a benefit program that pays disabled people on a monthly basis who (1) have worked in the   past, and (2) paid social security taxes. Each person must work a certain percentage of the previous years (depending on your age) to qualify. Thus, not everyone who is disabled can qualify. SSDI claimants who receive payments for 2 years qualify for Medicare to pay medical costs. Contact you Paradise SSDI lawyer to learn if you qualify.

The federal SSI program – work with a qualified Paradise Disability Attorney

If you have no or too little work history, are disabled, and make below a certain threshold of money, you may qualify for SSI. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a welfare-based program. The benefits are paid out of general tax revenues and are not contingent on your work history. The monthly benefit provides a basic amount, which may be enhanced by your state. You may also qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. You can contact an experienced Paradise SSI attorney by filling out the questionnaire on the left.
