Applying for SSI or SSDI can make a serious difference

The vast majority of the initial applicants are denied social security benefits: generally, between 65% and 70%. An experienced San Gabriel social security lawyer can increase your odds of success. Your attorney should understand how to make your best case. Your attorney can also represent you on appeal. An experienced San Gabriel social security lawyer will look over your file, and help you make any additions and corrections necessary to best highlight the nature of your disability. 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.

How do people afford to pay qualified San Gabriel Social Security lawyers?

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. 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. 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. There is no reason to contact an experienced San Gabriel Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.

Education: SSDI versus SSI

Disability payments under SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) are contingent upon you proving the existence of a disability. The disability must preclude you from working for a year or more. Disability payments are made monthly to those who qualify. Both SSDI and SSI programs are related, but different.
