Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI requires a work history with sufficient credits earned through payroll taxes, while SSI is need-based and available to disabled individuals with limited income and resources regardless of work history. The firm handles applications for both programs and can advise which applies to your situation.
How long does the disability application process typically take?
Initial determinations usually take 3 to 6 months. If denied, the reconsideration stage adds another 3 to 6 months. Appeals before an administrative judge generally require waiting 6 to 18 months for a hearing. The firm guides you through each stage.
Can I work while receiving disability benefits?
Both SSDI and SSI allow limited work activity through trial work periods and expedited reinstatement provisions. The firm explains these work incentives and helps you understand how earnings might affect your benefits.
