Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security taxes paid. SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. You may qualify for one, both, or neither depending on your circumstances. LaPorte Law Firm evaluates which programs you may be eligible for.
Why do so many initial Social Security claims get denied?
The Social Security Administration denies many initial claims because applicants lack sufficient medical evidence or do not present their condition in terms that clearly meet Social Security's strict criteria. LaPorte Law Firm addresses these gaps from the start to improve approval rates.
How long does it take to get a hearing before a judge?
Wait times vary by hearing office but typically range from 10 to 18 months after requesting a hearing. During this time, LaPorte Law Firm continues building your case and preparing you for the hearing itself.
