Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one does d'Oliveira & Associates handle?
SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security tax contributions, while SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. d'Oliveira & Associates handles Social Security law, which covers both programs, and can help you determine which one applies to your situation.
My Social Security disability application was denied. Can d'Oliveira & Associates help me appeal?
Denial is actually common at the initial application stage, and most successful claims go through at least one round of appeals. The firm handles disability appeals and can represent you through reconsideration and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge.
Does d'Oliveira & Associates charge upfront fees for disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys in Rhode Island typically work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are only collected if your claim is approved. The federal government caps attorney fees in SSDI and SSI cases. Contact the firm directly at (401) 823-3444 to discuss their specific fee arrangement.
Can the firm help with both a personal injury claim and a disability claim at the same time?
Yes. Because d'Oliveira & Associates handles both personal injury law and Social Security law, clients who have a disabling injury may be able to pursue both types of claims with the same firm, which can simplify coordination and communication.
How long does the Social Security disability process take in Rhode Island?
Timelines vary considerably. Initial decisions can take several months, and if an appeal is necessary, the process can extend significantly longer. Having an attorney involved early can help avoid delays caused by incomplete applications or missing documentation.
