Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the payroll taxes you have paid over your career. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. A disability attorney can help determine which program you may qualify for.
Does Chackes Carlson handle both disability and employment cases?
Yes. Chackes Carlson is listed under both disability law and employment law, meaning the firm handles matters ranging from Social Security disability claims to workplace discrimination and employment rights issues.
My disability claim was denied. Can I still appeal?
Absolutely. Most Social Security disability claims are denied at the initial stage. The appeals process includes reconsideration, a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, and further appeals if needed. Having legal representation at the hearing stage significantly matters for many applicants.
Can my employer legally fire me because of a disability?
Federal law, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act, prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating against workers based on disability. Missouri also has state-level protections. If you believe you were fired or mistreated because of a medical condition, an employment attorney can evaluate your options.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in Missouri?
Initial applications can take several months for a decision. If you are denied and request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the wait time in the St. Louis region can extend beyond a year in some cases. Starting the process promptly and having proper documentation helps avoid unnecessary delays.
