 You may be entitled to benefits: the SSI and SSDI program at a glance  

Roughly 65 – 75% of applicants are initially denied for social security benefits. Do not make the mistake of gambling with your odds of winning. An experienced Alpharetta social security lawyer knows how to present proof of your disability in the most advantageous way. You can really have a leg up by working with a seasoned professional.

Successful claimants receive monthly payments from the federal government to cover those critical expenses. Many claimants also qualify for medical services through Medicare and Medicaid.

 Lawyers cost too much, how would I afford to pay a social security lawyer?  

Social security lawyers are very affordable. When you hire a social security attorney, you only pay them attorney fees if you win your claim. So, you only pay if you get paid. Social Security regulations set a cap for attorney fees. As of June 2009, the cap is $6,000. Also, attorneys can only receive their money from the past due benefits awarded to you, a max of 25%. So, the most a social security lawyer can charge is: the smaller amount of 25% of your past due benefits or $6,000.

 What is the Social Security Disability system? Education  

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.

 SSDI: Federal Workers Insurance for the Disabled - Contact a Knowledgeable Alpharetta Disability Insurance Attorney Today 

SSDI pays disability payments to those who have a qualifying work history, who are disabled. For that reason, not everyone is eligible for SSDI. To qualify, you will have to show, in addition to proving your disability, that you have worked a certain percentage of your previous years (depending on your age). Medicare medical coverage is also available to some SSDI recipients. Contact your Alpharetta SSDI lawyer to learn more now.

 SSI – Work with an experienced Alpharetta Disability Attorney 

Unlike SSDI, you do not have to demonstrate a work history to be eligible for SSI. To qualify for SSI, you must suffer from a disability that prevents you from working for a year or more, and make less than a minimum threshold of money. SSI checks are paid monthly. In addition, you may be eligible for more money from your state, Medicaid, and food stamps. Call your Alpharetta SSI lawyer for more details.
