Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

SSDI is based on your work history and contributions to Social Security, while SSI is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources. An attorney can help determine which program you may qualify for.

How long does the Social Security disability process take?

Initial decisions typically take three to five months, but if denied, the appeals process can take considerably longer. Having legal representation can help expedite the process and improve approval chances.

Can I work while applying for disability benefits?

You can work and earn limited income while applying for benefits. Social Security has specific rules about substantial gainful activity that the office can explain during your consultation.
