Need Social Security Benefits? Newark, Delaware Social Security lawyers can help
Has a disability kept you from working?Social security disability income, or “SSDI” for short, and “SSI”, supplemental security income, was created for those who cannot work due to suffering from a disability. The federal SSDI and SSI system can be difficult to navigate. Whether you are a first time applicant or whether you have been previously rejected, an experienced Newark social security attorney can help you. Once you fill out the form on the left, an experienced Newark social security attorney will call you promptly. By speaking with the attorney, you are under no obligation whatsoever.
Your SSI or SSDI application: it makes a big difference
Approximately 65% or more initial applicants are denied social security benefits. An experienced Newark social security lawyer can increase your odds of success. Your attorney should understand how to make your best case. Your attorney can also represent you on appeal. An experienced Newark social security lawyer will look over your file, and help you make any additions and corrections necessary to best highlight the nature of your disability. For many people, social security payments mean the difference between falling through society’s cracks and safety. This is because social security was designed to help those who are most vulnerable: those who suffer from a disability and who cannot work. For those who qualify, social security provides a safety net of monthly checks for the duration of your disability, in addition to other potential benefits such as medical care coverage and assistance from your state.
Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?
Because the people who need a social security lawyer usually do not have a source of income, social security lawyers structure their fees to make their services 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. By filling out the questionnaire on the left, an experienced Newark Social Security attorney will contact you.
Eligibility for either SSDI or SSI
There are two separate programs that provide disability benefits in the social security system. They are SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance). Generally, to qualify for disability payments, you must have an injury that prevents you from working for one year or more or an injury that will result in death. Both programs pay on a monthly basis.
Do you qualify for SSDI? – Work with a Knowledgeable Newark Disability Insurance Attorney Soon
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.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – Talk to an experienced Newark Disability Attorney
The SSI system provides monthly payments, of a minimum amount, to disabled people. The benefits are paid regardless of whether you previously paid into the Social Security System. Although payments are generally lower under SSI, the funds help those who critically need it. In addition, successful claimants may also qualify for medical care through Medicaid. Fill out the form to contact an experienced Newark SSI lawyer.
