Frequently Asked Questions

Can Rella & Associates help with both a workers comp claim and a Social Security disability application at the same time?
Yes, the firm handles both workers compensation and Social Security disability matters, which puts them in a good position to manage cases where both claims are active simultaneously. This is actually a common situation, and coordinating the two requires careful attention to how benefits interact under federal and state rules.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
Social Security Disability Insurance is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over time, while Supplemental Security Income is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. An attorney at Rella & Associates can help you determine which program you may qualify for or whether you might be eligible for both.
What happens if the Social Security Administration denies my initial application?
Most initial SSDI and SSI applications are denied. Rella & Associates can file a request for reconsideration and, if necessary, represent you at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, which is often the stage where claimants have the best chance of winning their case.
Is Rella & Associates familiar with the Social Security hearing office that serves Westchester County?
As a firm based in Sleepy Hollow and serving the Westchester County area, Rella & Associates has practical familiarity with the regional Social Security Administration offices and processes that affect local claimants.
How long does it typically take to get approved for Social Security disability benefits?
The timeline varies widely, from several months for an initial application to two years or more if the case goes to a hearing. An attorney can help move the process along by ensuring your application is complete and well-documented from the start.
