Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SSDI and SSI benefits?
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is based on your work history and Social Security contributions, while SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Wilson & Guthrie evaluates which program you may qualify for.
How often does Social Security approve disability claims on first application?
Initial approval rates are relatively low, which is why many applicants benefit from legal representation. The firm helps strengthen applications and handles appeals when claims are denied.
Will filing for bankruptcy affect my Social Security disability benefits?
Social Security disability benefits are generally protected in bankruptcy, though some SSI benefits may be affected. The firm coordinates both processes to preserve your benefits while addressing financial obligations.
