SSI and SSDI: your safety net
More than half of the initial applicants are rejected for social security every year. Presenting proof of your disability is an important step toward qualifying. An experienced Tampa social security lawyer can help you make your most compelling case to the review board. Your chance of success increases this way. For many, losing their social security claim has devastating consequences. Those who are disabled who do not have an alternative source of income potentially face homelessness. The SSI and SSDI systems provide monthly payments from the federal government for our most vulnerable citizens. These payments can cover the cost of living, and in some cases the SSI and SSDI systems also provide medical coverage.
How much does a qualified Tampa Social Security lawyer cost?
Contrary to what people think about lawyers, Social Security lawyers tend to be very affordable. Why? Social Security attorneys only get paid if you get paid. This fee structure is called a “contingency” fee. Statutorily, social security attorneys can only make the following: the smaller amount of (1) 25% of back pay awarded to you, or (2) $6,000 total. The social security administration has to approve the amount of the attorney fees at the time you are awarded your benefits. Don’t wait to contact an experienced Tampa Social Security lawyer.

How the Social Security system works: SSDI vs. 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.

If you have a work history of paying into social security, you may be eligible for SSDI payments. SSDI is a natural insurance program that pays those who are disabled and have a qualifying work history (the duration of your previous work depends on your age). SSDI recipients may also qualify for Medicare. Learn more by contacting an experienced Tampa SSDI attorney.
SSI: You may qualify - Reach aqualified Tampa 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).
