The Troutman & Troutman Muskogee Social Security attorneys do this every day.
To help you get your bearings, on this website we provide answers to frequently asked questions about Social Security Disability.
Here are some top questions:
- What types of disability benefits are available? SSDI benefits are for people who have just stopped working. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) helps people with low economic means and little recent work history.
- How do I qualify for benefits? To get Social Security Disability benefits, you must be unable to work because of your health for at least one year.
- How much will I get? The size of your monthly checks from SSDI varies with your earnings history. SSI pays a uniform amount set by the government. You also get Medicare eligibility with SSDI. You qualify for SoonerCare with SSI.
- What is Social Security Disability back pay? Usually when you win benefits, you’ve been waiting a while for the decision. Social Security pays a lump sum to cover the time you were eligible for benefits but waiting.
- Can I lose eligibility for benefits? Disability benefits are permanent, but some circumstances, such as occasional reviews by Social Security, can lead to your benefits stopping. But you can do something about it.
- What are Social Security Disability death benefits? Family members of a disability benefits recipient who died can often receive survivors’ benefits.
- What does a Social Security attorney cost? The Social Security Administration and disability lawyers understand that affording sounds/ tough. So they set a rule that YOU DON’T PAY AN ATTORNEY FEE UNTIL YOU WIN BENEFITS. Fees have strict limits and are only paid out of your back benefits.
