The statistics are not favorable for initial applicants. About 65% or more initial applicants are denied annually. Often success hinges on whether you have made out the best case for your disability to the review board. Lancaster social security lawyers have experienced understanding how to present your best case. By working with an attorney, you will not have to second-guess whether you have done the best job highlighting what the social security administration is looking for. Those who face real disabilities potentially face hunger and homelessness. Winning your claim can provide a necessary safety net to our most vulnerable citizens. Successful claimants receive monthly payments from the federal government to cover those critical expenses. Many claimants also qualify for medical services through Medicare and Medicaid.

How can I afford a Social Security lawyer when I can’t work?

Although attorneys can be expensive, a social security attorney is affordable, even for someone who does not have a job. Why? Social Security attorneys only get paid if you get paid. This fee structure is called a “contingency” fee. The government limits how much a social security attorney can charge you. They are limited to charging the lesser of: 25% of the back pay awarded to you, or a maximum of $6,000. So, an attorney cannot make more than $6,000 on your case, nor can he or she make more than 25% of the back pay owed to you. Thus, if you are awarded $20,000 in back pay, generally the max you can be charged is $6,000.

SSDI and SSI, which one is right for you?

SSI (Social Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security disability Insurance) are two separate programs that pay claimants who are disabled. The disability must prevent you from working for a year or more or result in death. While both programs are federal disability programs, they are quite different from each other.

SSDI: The Federal Program for Those With a Work History – Connect with a Knowledgeable Lancaster Disability Insurance Attorney Immediately

SSDI provides disability payments to Americans who can demonstrate a work history of paying taxes into the social security system. To qualify, you must prove (1) the existence of a disability that prevents you from working for at least one year, and (2) that you worked and paid social security taxes over the course of the previous years (the number of years depends on your age). SSDI recipients may also qualify for Medicare. Contact an experienced Lancaster SSDI lawyer now to learn more.

The federal SSI program – work with a qualified Lancaster Disability Attorney

SSI is paid out like welfare, meaning you cannot earn over a certain amount of money to qualify. In addition, you need to be disabled and unable to work. SSI pays out a smaller amount of money than SSDI, but unlike SSDI, you are not required to have paid into the Social Security system to qualify for payments. In addition, SSI recipients qualify for medical care through Medicaid. To contact an experienced Lancaster SSI lawyer, fill out the questionnaire on the left.
