Social Security Benefits - SSD and SSI

Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income are intended to be a financial safety net to provide workers with benefits in the event they become disabled and can no longer work.


Social Security Disability benefits are not a government handout. Social Security Disability Insurance is an insurance program operated by the federal government which allows individuals who meet certain criteria to apply and receive Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.
(SSDI).

Social Security Disability Insurance replaces lost wages in the event of a disability.

Social Security Disability Insurance is intended to replace wages that are lost when a person is no longer able to work and earn an income as a result of an illness, injury or condition that leaves you disabled for at least twelve months or longer. The illness, injury or condition may or may not be as a result of an injury at work. If you are considered an "insured" under Social Security criteria, that is, if you have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes, you and certain family members may be entitled to be paid benefits.

Your Disability may be as a result of a work related injury or other illness or condition.

A worker who has paid into Social Security over time may be eligible for benefits when a
disability, whether because of a work injury or an illness or condition, makes it impossible
to work any longer. Your particular medical condition must meet the definition of "disability" in accordance with Social Security regulations.

All to often too many individuals who apply for Social Security Disability benefits
are denied when they make an application for these benefits.

In the event your initial application is denied, time is of the essence, you need to act quickly. A Request for Reconsideration must be filed within sixty days of when you receive your initial denial notice.

Do not be discouraged if you have had your disability (SSD) claim denied. Please contact
Attorney Coreen M. Sedor for a free initial consultation, she may be able to help you through this process.

The Reconsideration appeal procedure is the first step available when you are denied Social Security Disability benefits. Although sometime it is possible to be successful in your benefits claim at the Reconsideration level, there is a strong likelihood that you will again be denied benefits, just as you were when you first applied for Disability benefits.

If your Reconsideration request is also denied, your next appeal option is a Request for an Administrative Law Hearing. Historically, it is at the Administrative Law Hearing that you have the best opportunity of successfully obtaining Social Security Disability benefits, after having been denied at the previous levels of applying for benefits.

The Request for an Administrative Law Hearing must be filed within sixty (60) days of when your receive notice that your Reconsideration was denied. At an Administrative Law Hearing you are provided the opportunity to present additional evidence to support your claim for benefits, to refute the Social Security Administration’s objections, and to present testimony.

You need the right attorney to make a difference in the presentation of your case.
At the law office of Attorney Coreen M. Sedor, she will work with you throughout the Disability benefits claims process, from the initial filing through hearing and appeals, if necessary.
She will work with you to gather your medical records, take control of and direct the focus on the important issues of your claim to the Social Security Administration and will present your case before an Administrative Law Judge. Attorney Sedor can help you understand these complex issues and be successful with the outcome of your disability claim.

SSI

In addition to Social Security Disability Insurance, there is Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for those who are disabled, but do not have sufficient work credits to be eligible for Disability benefits and meet certain income requirements. SSI may cover elderly people, as well as blind or disabled persons of any age, including children. In addition, the individual must be a U.S. resident and live in the United States to qualify for SSI.
