Not knowing the answer to these vital questions can hurt you and your family. 

You may qualify for Social Security disability benefits and/or SSI, if your injuries or medical condition will disable you from work for a year or more, or will result in an untimely death. Waste no time; file your application for benefits as soon as you reasonably believe that you are disabled from work. Sitting on your rights, by not filing an application, could result in a loss of benefits. You can employ an attorney to begin the Social Security process or to appeal your denial. It is your right to be represented by an attorney. 

Some disabled individuals will qualify for both Social Security disability benefits and SSI. Each program has different criteria. Social Security disability insurance benefits is a program for those persons who have worked. To qualify, you have to meet the "insured" status, or have worked a prescribed period of time that is unique to you. It's like an insurance policy. SSI is a program based on needs. SSI pays benefits to a disabled person based on their household income or assets, not their past work history.

If you apply for benefits and are turned down, that is no reason to give up. You have the right to appeal your denial. Let us guide you through the legal maze and complex paperwork that the Social Security Administration requires of every claimant. Since our fee comes from your award of past due benefits, it doesn't cost you anything to receive the help of a professional now.
