Helping you move forward: SSI and SSDI benefits

It is not easy to qualify for social security benefits in every case. Roughly 65% of people are initially turned down. If you have a disability, you will want to make sure you do the best job presenting the nature of your injury to the review board. Most often, the best way to do this is to work with an experienced Wichita social security lawyer. Arm yourself with a professional who understands the best tactics for winning your social security claim. 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 Wichita Social Security lawyers?

Contrary to what people think about lawyers, Social Security lawyers tend to be very affordable. Why are they affordable? Answer: they work on a “contingency” basis. That means they only get paid if you get paid. 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. Don’t wait to contact an experienced Wichita Social Security lawyer. Fill out the form on the left.

Education: SSDI versus SSI

Disability payments under SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) are contingent upon you proving the existence of a disability. The disability must preclude you from working for a year or more. Disability payments are made monthly to those who qualify. Both SSDI and SSI programs are related, but different.

SSDI: Federal Workers Insurance for the Disabled - Contact a Knowledgeable Wichita Disability Insurance Attorney Today

SSDI is a program for Americans who have a work history. To qualify, you must be disabled, and have worked and paid into the social security system for a fraction of the previous years (the number of years depends on your age). SSDI recipients may also qualify for Medicare. If you think you may qualify for SSDI, contact an experienced Wichita SSDI attorney soon to discuss your options.

SSI: the final safety net - Contact an experienced Wichita Disability Attorney

The SSI system is designed to provide a minimum threshold of income to those who are disabled, blind, or 65 and older, who do not make much money. Those who qualify receive a monthly check (usually much less than SSDI amounts). You may also receive more money from your state. Unlike SSDI, 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 also may receive Medicaid coverage from the government (Medical Care). Fill out the form to contact an experienced Wichita SSI lawyer.

How does the application and appeal process work? - Wichita Disability Appeals attorney

You can apply online, in person, or over the phone for social security. You will be prompted to fill out a series of questions that require you to substantiate your disability. You can have your case reviewed by an appeal panel if you are initially denied social security benefits.
