The difference between winning your SSI or SSDI claim and losing it
It is not easy to qualify for social security benefits in every case. Roughly 65% of people are initially turned down. By working with an experienced Enid social security lawyer, you can increase your chances of success because you will be working with someone who understands the criteria that the review board is looking for. The consequences of losing your social security claim can have serious consequences. Those who qualify get monthly payments to live off. In many cases, you can also get Medicare or Medicaid. These payments and other potential benefits often mean the difference between survival and homelessness for those suffering from disabilities.
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. The reason why: you do not pay a Social Security lawyer unless he or she wins your claim. That means they only get paid if you get paid. Your social security attorney is limited in how much he or she can charge. That is because the federal government has capped attorney fees in these cases. Specifically, the attorney cannot charge more than 25% of your back pay, up to a total of $6,000. Even then, the government has to approve the final award of attorney fees. So, a claimant is always getting a fair deal. There is no reason to contact an experienced Enid Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.
The Social Security system: About
Understanding how the Social Security disability program works is important. There are two separate programs that provide disability benefits to those who cannot work for a year or more due to a disability: SSI and SSDI (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance). Both programs require that you suffer from a disability to qualify, but each program has other separate requirements for eligibility.
SSDI: The Federal Program for Those With a Work History – Connect with a Knowledgeable Enid Disability Insurance Attorney Immediately
If you have a work history of paying into social security, you may be eligible for SSDI payments. SSDI is a natural insurance program that pays those who are disabled and have a qualifying work history (the duration of your previous work depends on your age). SSDI recipients may also qualify for Medicare. Learn more by contacting an experienced Enid SSDI attorney.
SSI: a welfare-based program - Contact an experienced Enid 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 Enid SSI attorney by filling out the questionnaire on the left.
The process: Application to appeal - Enid Disability Appeals Lawyer
You can begin the application process online, in person, or by phone. The process can take a while because the number of applications is generally very high. Usually, you have to wait anywhere between three and six months, maybe longer. In the event that the government denies your social security application, you can appeal your case. At the appeal, you can represent yourself or your attorney can represent you.
