You may be entitled to benefits: the SSI and SSDI program at a glance
The vast majority of the initial applicants are denied social security benefits: generally, between 65% and 70%. Increase your chances of winning your Social Security claim by contacting an experienced New Haven Social Security lawyer.

This may include working with your doctors, or having you seek a new cost-effective examination that can help make out your case. For many applicants, they face the possibility of homelessness if their SSI or SSDI application is denied. The social security system provides monthly payments that make living in this expensive country manageable. In many cases, claimants also qualify for critical medical coverage through the social security system. SSI claimants can get Medicaid, while SSDI claimants may qualify for Medicare.
Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?
Social security lawyers are very affordable. Most all Social Security lawyers work on a contingency basis: which means they only get paid if you win your case. The social security administration carefully monitors how much a social security attorney charges. The attorneys are statutorily limited to charging a max of 25% of back pay awarded to you (up to a max of $6,000). That means that in most cases you can only be required to pay money that was already owed to you before you received your social security benefits, and even that amount is limited. By filling out the questionnaire on the left, an experienced New Haven Social Security attorney will contact you.
Who qualifies for SSI and SSDI?
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 is a federal insurance program that pays disability benefits to people who have paid into the social security system. To qualify, you must be disabled and have a work history of paying social security taxes. Thus, not everyone can qualify. Those who do qualify may also be eligible for Medicare coverage, depending on the duration of your disability. Contact an SSDI attorney to learn if you may qualify.
