Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work while receiving Social Security disability benefits?
Social Security allows limited work activity through trial work periods and special incentive programs. Proudian can explain how work affects your benefits and help you navigate these rules.

A special needs trust protects assets for a disabled family member without affecting their SSI or Medicaid eligibility. Proudian helps families establish these trusts to provide financial security while preserving government benefits.
Should I hire a lawyer for my disability claim?
Many claims are denied initially, and having experienced representation significantly increases approval chances. Proudian can evaluate your case and explain whether legal representation would benefit your situation.
