How SSI and SSDI Can Help You
 

It is not always easy to qualify for Social Security benefits. Roughly 65% of initial applications are denied benefits. Presenting proof of your disability is an important step toward qualifying for Social Security benefits. An experienced Ferry Pass Social Security attorney can help you make the most persuasive case to the Social Security review board. Your chance of success is likely to increase with this assistance. For many Americans, Social Security payments mean the difference between falling through society’s cracks and safety. Since Social Security was designed to help those in society who are most vulnerable: the significantly disabled. For those who qualify, Social Security provides a safety net of monthly checks for the duration of your disability. In addition, qualifying individuals also gain access to other potential benefits such as medical care coverage and assistance from your state such as food stamps.
 

Lawyers are Too Expensive - How Can I Afford to Pay a Social Security Attorney?
 

Social security attorneys are generally very affordable. Most Social Security attorneys work on a “contingency” basis: meaning that they only get paid if your claim is successful. That means, in most cases, you have nothing to lose by working with a Social Security lawyer. The Social Security system oversees the amount a lawyer can charge for representing a client in a Social Security matter. Legal fees for Social Security cases are capped at 25% of the back pay awarded to you, up to a maximum of $6,000. After filling out the questionnaire on this site, an experienced Ferry Pass Social Security attorney will call or email you to discuss the specifics of your case.
 

Who qualifies for Social Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)
 

There are two separate Social Security programs that provide disability payments to injured Americans: SSI and SSDI (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance, respectively). In order to earn disability payments under either program, you must suffer from an injury that (1) prevents you from working for a year or more, or (2) results in death. In general, short-term injuries are not covered by the social security system.
 

1.    How is disability defined in Ferry Pass, Florida? - In order to receive Social Security disability benefits, you must meet the Social Security Administration's
        standard for disability.
        a.    The term disability is defined as being unable to engage in “substantial gainful activity” [SGA] due to a of a physical or mental impairment which has lasted
                - or is expected to last - for a minimum of 12 months, or is expected to result in death.
2.    Is working in Ferry Pass, Florida a factor in obtaining Social Security disability benefits? - If you are working in Ferry Pass and the work meets the definition of
       substantial gainful activity, you are considered able to work and, therefore, you are not disabled and would not qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
       In 2012, if you earn more than $1010 per month (after taxes), you are probably not eligible for Social Security, unless there special circumstances exist.
3.    Do You Have a Severe Impairment? - In order to be considered severely impaired, you must have a medical problem that significantly limits your physical or
       mental ability to perform basic work activities. The impairment must be expected to last for 12 months or result in death.
4.    Does Your Medical Condition Match One of SSA’s Listed Impairments? - The Social Security Administration (SSA) has promulgated a list of medical conditions
        ["Listing of Impairments."] of such great severity that the SSA considers people who with the conditions disabled;
        1.    If your condition is not included in the SSA's Listing of Impairments, you have to ask yourself the following question in regard to obtaining Social Security
               Disability Benefits:
               1.  Am I able to do the same type of work I was able to do before the onset of the disability? - If the SSA determines that you are able to continue doing the same
                    work as you did before your medical condition you may have difficulty proving eligibility. The measure of how capable you are at doing your job after the
                   onset of your disability as opposed to before the onset of the disability is called the Residual Functional Capacity (RFC). In determining your eligibility for
                   benefits, the SSA compares your current RFC with the physical and mental demands of your past jobs. If you are physically and mentally able to do a job that
                   you have held within the last fifteen years, then SSA considers you "not disabled." If you are not able to perform any of your past jobs,
                   then ask yourself:
5.    Despite Your Medical Condition, Can You Do Other Work? - If you are unable to perform work similar to what you have done in the past, then the SSA will
       determine whether you are able to perform other types of work rather than collect benefits.
 

Can Children in Ferry Pass, Florida Qualify for Disability Benefits? Yes, but What is the Criteria?
 

Financially, needy children under age 18 who have serious medical conditions may be eligible for Children's SSI. A child is disabled for SSI if the child is not working and earning more than the SGA level and has a medical condition or combination of conditions that cause "marked and severe functional limitations." Medical evidence documenting the child's medical condition is essential.
