Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) & Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

The Social Security system provides eligible disabled individuals with benefits under programs named Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI provides benefits to eligible disabled individuals with a qualifying work history. SSI provides minimum basic financial assistance to eligible older adults and disabled individuals who have very limited income and resources. Both programs operate under complicated laws and rules and are extremely challenging to navigate. Getting assistance from an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer substantially improves your chances of success in applying for benefits.

When a worker suffers a work injury and has a resulting disability, the injured worker and their family need all the financial support that is available under workers’ compensation and other programs. It is not uncommon for a worker who suffers a disabling injury to qualify for SSDI and/or SSI. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration often unfairly denies SSDI/SSI benefits to eligible persons, and it is necessary to appeal the denial in order to receive the benefits.

An injured and disabled individual may receive several different types of benefits at the same time, including workers’ compensation, personal injury compensation, and SSDI and/or SSI benefits. In that case, the various types of benefits are coordinated under the applicable laws and regulations. As part of representing clients, Barry Adler makes certain that all benefits are pursued and properly coordinated with other benefits.

All of this can be very difficult to navigate on your own. Working with a Social Security Disability lawyer can help ensure that you receive all the benefits you deserve.

Applying for SSDI / SSI

Submitting a thorough application is one of the important first steps in obtaining SSDI benefits. While you are not required to get help from a Social Security Disability lawyer in preparing and submitting an application, legal representation gives you a significant advantage. Initially, having legal help eases the stress and reduces the chances of making mistakes or omission on your application.

After evaluating your circumstances and eligibility, Social Security Disability lawyer Barry Adler helps you prepare a thorough and complete application if he determines that you are eligible. If an application is denied, Barry is fully prepared to move forward with your appeal.

Adler Firm never charges a fee for an initial consultation about SSDI and SSI. In addition, you do not pay attorney’s fees unless Barry obtains compensation for you. For these reasons, you should not hesitate to contact the firm about injury benefits and compensation.
