SSI and SSDI: your safety net
 

The vast majority of the initial applicants are denied social security benefits: generally, between 65% and 70%. By working with an experienced Lakeside 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 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.
 

I don’t have any money! How do I pay a skilled Lakeside Social Security lawyer?
 

Since the people who need a Social Security attorney usually do not have a source of income, Social Security lawyers charge fees that make their services affordable. When you hire a Social Security lawyer, you agree only to pay them attorney fees if you win your claim. In other words, you only pay your lawyer if the Social Security Administration pays you. Fortunately, the US government realized the difficulties a disabled person may have in acquiring and paying an attorney. To that end, the Social Security regulations place restrictions on how much lawyer can charge a claimant for representation in a Social Security matter. Specifically, the attorney cannot charge you more than 25% of the past due benefits that are awarded to you, however, that figure cannot exceed $6,000 total. So, claimants will never have to pay more than $6,000 on successful Social Security claims. Don’t wait.  To contact an experienced Lakeside Social Security lawyer today and start the ball rolling on your Social Security claim all you have to do is fill out the form on this page.
 

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

SSI (Social Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) are two separate programs under the umbrella term “Social Security” that pay a benefit to claimants who are disabled. A qualifying disability for Social Security benefits usually must either prevent you from working for a year or more or result in death. While both the SSI and SSDI programs are federal disability programs, they are quite different from each other.
 

1. What is the Standard for Disability in Lakeside, California? - To receive disability benefits for Social Security Disability you must meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability.

   1.    How is disability defined in Lakeside, California? - 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 Lakeside, California a factor in obtaining Social Security disability benefits? - If you are working in Lakeside 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 Lakeside, California 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.

   SSDI pays disability payments to disabled Americans with a qualifying work history. Not everyone is eligible to claim SSDI benefits. To qualify for SSDI, you will have to show, in addition to proving your disability, that you have worked a certain percentage of your previous years (the amount you need to have worked depends on your age). Medicare coverage is also available to some SSDI recipients. Contact your Lakeside SSDI attorney to learn more now.
    

   The Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program –Lakeside Disability Lawyers Are Here to Help
    

   The Supplemental Security Income (SSI)program was designed to provide a minimum threshold of income to those who are not able to earn a living because they are disabled, blind, or 65 years of age and older. Those who qualify receive a monthly check (usually for much less money than SSDI benefits). If you receive SSI, you may also receive additional benefits from your state. Unlike SSDI, Supplemental Security Income claims are paid from general tax revenues. Thus, you do not need to have paid into the social security system to qualify for SSI payments. Those who qualify for SSI may also qualify for Medicaid. To learn more, please fill out the form in this webpage to contact an experienced Lakeside SSI attorney.
