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%. However, you can dramatically increase your odds of winning your benefits claim by working with an experienced Tampa social security lawyer. This is because most SS attorneys have learned what criteria the review board is looking for. Successful claimants receive critical monthly payments from the federal government. SSI recipients can receive a monthly payment, food stamps, and potentially Medicaid to cover health care costs. SSDI recipients receive monthly payments based on the amount they paid into the system, among other factors. Also, SSDI recipients sometimes qualify for Medicare.

How do people afford to pay qualified Tampa Social Security lawyers?

You may be surprised to learn that a social security lawyer is quite affordable, even if you have no source of income. Why are they affordable? Answer: they work on a “contingency” basis. That means they only get paid if you get paid. Statutorily, social security attorneys can only make the following: the smaller amount of (1) 25% of back pay awarded to you, or (2) $6,000 total. The social security administration has to approve the amount of the attorney fees at the time you are awarded your benefits. There is no reason to contact an experienced Tampa Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.

Who qualifies for SSI and SSDI?

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 - Contact an experienced Tampa Disability Insurance Attorney Now

To qualify for SSDI monthly payments, you must establish a work history of paying into social security as well as a qualifying disability. So, not everyone qualifies for the SSDI program. Those who receive disability payments under SSDI may also qualify for Medicare coverage. Contact an experienced Tampa SSDI lawyer to learn about your options.

Supplemental Security Income, or SSI for short, is available for people who suffer from a disability regardless of work history. SSI is paid from general revenues, unlike the SSDI system. SSI beneficiaries may also qualify for Medicaid and Food Stamps. They may also be eligible for additional income from the state. Contact your Tampa SSI lawyer to learn more.
