Looking for an experienced Social Security lawyer?
 

Living with a disability can be impossible. Thankfully, for those who qualify, social security can provide much-needed relief. If you qualify, you may be entitled to monthly checks due to your disability. Some may qualify for other assistance, such as: medical care coverage, food stamps, and other assistance from the state government. You can contact an experienced Rosemont social security disability attorney by filling out the form on this site. You are under absolutely no obligation merely by filling out the form.
 

The difference between winning your SSI or SSDI claim and losing it
 

The vast majority of the initial applicants are denied social security benefits: generally, between 65% and 70%. Importantly, you do not have to be among the number of people who do not qualify for benefits. If you have a disability, you can increase your chances of qualifying for social security benefits by contacting an experienced Rosemont social security lawyer. Your attorney can help you make your case for SSI or SSDI benefits. You do not have to work alone. 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.
 

How can I afford a Social Security lawyer when I can’t work?
 

You may be surprised to learn that a social security lawyer is quite affordable, even if you have no source of income. Almost always, Social Security lawyers work on a “contingency” basis: meaning that they only get paid if you win your claim. That means, in most cases, you have nothing to lose by working with a social security attorney. 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 this webpage, an experienced Rosemont Social Security attorney will contact you.
 

Learning about the SSI and SSDI programs
 

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.
 

  1. What is the Standard for Disability in Rosemont, California? - To receive disability benefits for Social Security Disability you must meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability.
    1. The term disability is that you are unable to engage in “substantial gainful activity” [SGA] because of a medically physical or mental impairment which has lasted, or is expected to last, for at least 12 months, or is expected to result in your death.
  2. If you are working in or around Rosemont, California is that a factor? - If you are working in Rosemont and performing SGA, then you are considered able to work and not disabled. In 2012, the SGA limit is $1010 (after taxes) per month. If you earn more than $1010 per month, you are probably not eligible, unless there are special circumstances;
  3. Do You Have a Severe Impairment? - You must have a medical problem which significantly limits your physical or mental ability to perform basic work activities. The impairment must be expected to last for 12 months or end in death;
  4. Does Your Medical Condition Match One of SSA’s Listed Impairments? - SSA has a list of medical conditions ["Listing of Impairments."] that describes medical conditions so severe that SSA considers people who have the conditions disabled;
    1. If your condition does not meet or equal one of the conditions in the Listing of Impairments, then you must ask:
      1. Despite Your Medical Condition, Are You Able to Do Work You Did in the Past? - SSA determines what you are able to do despite your medical condition. This is called the Residual Functional Capacity (RFC). SSA compares your RFC with the physical and mental demands of your past jobs. If you are physically and mentally able to do a job that you have held within the last fifteen years, then SSA considers you "not disabled." However, if you are not able to perform any of your past jobs, then ask:
  5. Despite Your Medical Condition, Are You Able to Do Other Work? - If you cannot perform your past work, then SSA decides whether you are able to perform other types of work.
     

Can Children in Rosemont, CA Qualify for Disability Benefits? Yes, but What is the Criteria?
 

Financially, needy children under age 18 who have serious medical conditions may be eligible for Children's SSI. A child is disabled for SSI if the child is not working and earning more than the SGA level and has a medical condition or combination of conditions that cause "marked and severe functional limitations." Medical evidence documenting the child's medical condition is essential.
