Social Security Disability: Getting The Benefits You Deserve
Living with a disability can pose significant challenges, particularly when it impacts your ability to earn a living. Two federal benefits programs – Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD/SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – provide financial support for eligible people who can’t work due to disabilities. However, getting these benefits can be challenging, and it’s common to run into roadblocks.
At NRS Injury Law, we can help you build a strong case for the benefits you deserve. We are passionate about empowering clients and advocating for their rights. As Ohio’s largest personal injury firm, we have the experience and resources necessary to succeed in tough cases, including disability claims. Our attorneys are very familiar with the intricacies of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the complex regulations that govern federal disability benefits. Let us put that knowledge and experience to work for you.
SSD And SSI: What You Need To Know
SSD and SSI are commonly confused. While they are both available to people with disabilities who can’t work, they differ in key ways:
- SSD benefits are for individuals who have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.
- SSI benefits are for low-income individuals who have either never worked or who haven’t earned enough Social Security credits.
There are many nuances to these programs, including what constitutes a disability for eligibility purposes. Our lawyers can evaluate your situation and determine whether you qualify for SSD or SSI.
How Our Lawyers Can Help
Many initial applications for SSD and SSI benefits get denied. Fortunately, there are multiple levels of appeal that give you additional chances at securing benefits. You don’t want to squander these opportunities, however. Now is the time to seek legal help.
