Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Law Offices of Jeffrey I. Amtman different from other Newark injury firms?
Unlike many firms that focus only on personal injury or only on workers compensation, this office also handles Social Security disability law. That combination is valuable for clients whose injuries or medical conditions have left them unable to work and who need help pursuing disability benefits at the same time as injury-related claims.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
Social Security Disability Insurance, known as SSDI, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over your career. Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a need-based program for people with limited income and resources who are disabled. The Law Offices of Jeffrey I. Amtman can help you determine which program applies to your situation or whether you may qualify for both.
My Social Security disability application was denied. Can this firm help me appeal?
Yes. Most initial Social Security disability applications are denied, and the appeals process involves multiple stages including a request for reconsideration and then a hearing before an administrative law judge. The firm can represent you through these stages and help present the medical and vocational evidence needed to support your claim.
Can I collect workers compensation and Social Security disability at the same time?
In many cases, yes, though receiving both may affect the amount of each benefit depending on your situation. New Jersey workers compensation and federal Social Security disability are separate programs with different rules, and the firm can explain how they interact and what to expect if you are pursuing both.
How long does a Social Security disability case take in New Jersey?
The Social Security disability process is often lengthy. Initial decisions can take several months, and if a denial leads to a hearing before an administrative law judge, the wait can extend to a year or more depending on the backlog at the local hearing office. Starting the process early and having legal representation can help move things along more efficiently.
Does the firm handle cases where a workplace injury led to a permanent disability?
Yes. When a workplace accident or occupational condition results in a lasting disability, clients may have a workers compensation claim, a personal injury claim against a third party, and a Social Security disability claim all at once. The Law Offices of Jeffrey I. Amtman handles all three areas and can help clients understand how each claim fits into the overall picture.
