Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one should I apply for?
SSDI is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over time, while SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Many applicants qualify for one or both, and an attorney can review your situation to help you apply for the right programs from the start.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can Kellet J Koch help me appeal?
Yes, disability appeals are a core part of Social Security law practice. The appeals process includes reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, and further review if needed. Having an attorney at the hearing stage in particular can make a significant difference in the outcome.
Can I have both a workers compensation claim and a Social Security disability claim at the same time?
Yes, these are separate programs and it is possible to pursue both simultaneously. A work injury that prevents you from returning to employment may support a disability claim, and an attorney familiar with both areas can help you manage the interaction between the two.
How does a Social Security disability hearing work in Wisconsin?
Hearings are conducted by an administrative law judge and typically take place at a Social Security hearing office. In Wisconsin, these hearings may be held in Milwaukee or via video conference. The ALJ will review your medical records, hear testimony, and may question a vocational expert about your ability to work.
Does Kellet J Koch charge upfront fees for disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only collect a fee if you win your case. The fee is set by federal regulations and is taken from your back pay award. You should confirm the specific fee arrangement directly with the office at (414) 342-0405.
What personal injury cases does the firm handle?
The firm handles personal injury matters alongside its Social Security and workers compensation work. This can include car accidents, slip and falls, and other situations involving injury caused by another party's negligence. Call the office to discuss the specifics of your injury case.
