Frequently Asked Questions

Does Empower Disability handle cases for first-time applicants or only appeals?
The firm works with clients at all stages, including those applying for the first time and those who have already been denied and need to appeal.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one should I apply for?
SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security contributions, while SSI is a needs-based program with income and asset limits. Some people qualify for both. An attorney can review your situation and help determine which program applies to you.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in Louisiana?
Timelines vary depending on where you are in the process. Initial decisions can take several months, and if your case goes to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the wait can extend to a year or more in some Louisiana hearing offices.
Will I need to appear at a hearing in person?
Hearings before an Administrative Law Judge are a common part of the appeals process. Empower Disability can prepare you for what to expect and represent you during the hearing, which may be held in person or via video.
What medical conditions qualify for Social Security disability benefits?
The SSA evaluates a wide range of physical and mental conditions. What matters most is whether your condition prevents you from working at a substantial level and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Is there a fee to hire Empower Disability?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fee. The attorney fee is capped by federal law and is only collected if you win your case.
