Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Insurance and Benefits

Serious injuries can leave you temporarily or permanently disabled. If you are unable to work because of an injury, you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits. Rowling & Partipilo PC will gather your medical records, get treatment options and help select doctors. Our attorneys can help you file for benefits and negotiate their amount. The amount of your benefit is determined by your former income and whether you are receiving other benefits, including workers' compensation. If you receive Social Security disability benefits, you also are entitled to health coverage under Medicare. If a family member has been killed, you may be entitled to Social Security death benefits. Our firm can assess your situation and handle filing of any claim.

Social Security Disability

A disability can change your life in many ways. It not only affects your health but also inhibits your ability to work and provide for your family. Fortunately, there are aids implemented to help you through this difficult period. Our team will work to ensure your financial security and help you get back on your feet.

What Is Social Security Disability Insurance?

If you are under the age of 65 and have an illness or injury that will prevent you from working for at least a year, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). These programs can provide monthly benefits for workers based on their work history and earnings. At Rowling & Partipilo PC, we will devote our time, energy and resources to pursuing and obtaining the benefits you deserve. If you are disabled, contact Rowling & Partipilo PC today to set up a free consultation and evaluation of your claim.

How To Qualify

To qualify for SSDI, you need to have worked a certain number of years before sustaining your disability. During that time you need to have paid Social Security (or FICA) taxes. Paying these taxes earns you work credit. You must have accumulated enough of this credit to qualify for SSDI.

Social Security Income

In life, there will always be circumstances beyond your control. However, this does not mean that you have to suffer silently. There is assistance and help for those who need it. If you are elderly or have a disability, there are income options still available to you. With one free consultation, our team will walk you through the process of claiming for it.

The Variety Of Benefits

We strive to take the uncertainty out of monetary insecurity. If you are disabled and have a limited income, you may be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a stipend that helps people pay for everyday needs, medical care and more.

Qualifying For SSI

SSI is reserved for the elderly or the disabled. Disabilities may range from blindness to other severe medical conditions. As a result of this impairment, your income and resources must be limited. Our team will help you determine if you or a loved one might qualify to receive SSI benefits.

Filing A Claim

Filing a Social Security Claim

The initial application. The process of filing your initial SSI application is pretty simple. It is important, however, to make sure you provide all apposite documentation. We can help you with your application to increase your chances of receiving the benefits to which you are entitled.

Reconsideration. If your claim is denied initially, we can also help you file a request for reconsideration. Like the initial application process, this stage can take up to nine months, but only rarely results in a completely satisfactory decision.

Administrative hearing. If your claim is still denied at the reconsideration level, we can provide representation at a hearing before the administrative law judge. Statistics have shown that your chances of success at this hearing are significantly improved with competent representation. More cases are approved at this level than any other. We are committed to helping you pursue and obtain the benefits you deserve.
