What Is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?
SSDI is an insurance policy that you’ve paid into. It is not a handout or welfare program. Most Americans know about Social Security retirement benefits. However, many do not understand how SSDI works. Just like retirement benefits, disability benefits are made up of your money, too. The Social Security Administration takes a percentage of your paycheck. They then store that money in a fund in case you become disabled and cannot work.
No one wants to be out of work. But SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are there to help if you become disabled. Contact us today for a free consultation. Our SSDI attorneys handle claims in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Was Your Application Denied?
You’re not alone. Most people are denied initially — about 70 percent of those who apply are denied. That’s why we’re here to assist you through the process.
Our attorneys will help you with the reconsideration process. Once that is complete, we will request a judicial hearing. We will accompany you before the judge to advocate on your behalf. The majority of appeals will receive the judge’s approval, but some do not. If you disagree with the judge’s decision, we will submit an appeal to the Appeals Council. If denied once again, we will request a case review by a federal district court.
Filing for SSDI or SSI can be a long, difficult process, but we will make it as smooth as possible for you.
