We Handle Every Step Of The Claims Process

Speak to one of our advocates to learn more about your options and if you could be eligible to receive SSDI Benefits

 

Initial

The Initial application stage involves applying for SSI and/or SSDI benefits. We can help you complete the application and accompanying forms. After applying, it may take the SSA anywhere from 3 to 6 months to process your SSDI benefit application. Speak to a representative today to learn more.

Reconsideration

If your initial application is denied, your case may be appealed and move into Reconsideration. The Reconsideration stage involves the SSA collecting more records (if you alert them to the existence of the new records) and reviewing your case. This review will generally take 1 to 5 months.

Hearing

If the Reconsideration is denied, applicants move to the hearing stage. Claimants generally wait an average of 18-24 months for a hearing, after requesting one. The SSA will alert you of the time and place of your hearing about six weeks to a month before the hearing. During this time we will gather evidence and prepare for your hearing.

Decision

Some judges will make a decision at the hearing. Other judges will take 6 – 8 weeks to decide. Regardless, a written decision is sent to you which explains the reason for the decision. If you win, you will begin the process of being “placed in pay.” It takes 6 to 12 weeks to get monthly benefits started, and a few months longer to get your backpay.

Questions And Answers

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a Social Security program that benefits individuals who become disabled before reaching retirement age. This specific program is based upon an individual’s capacity for gainful employment.

 

Those who served can qualify for both service-connected benefits as well as SSDI benefits with zero offset.  That means you can collect the full amount from both programs as well as benefits for children under the age of 18 without any penalty!

An individual must have worked 5 of the past 10 years at a job in which Social Security taxes (FICA) were paid. Specifically, he/she must have earned a minimum of 20 work credits. You can earn up to four work credits per year. More information on Social Security work credits can be found here.

Military service members can receive expedited processing of Social Security Disability claims through the Wounded Warrior Program. Additionally, veterans with a VA rating of over 50%, and those who served after 2001 have a high likelihood of this occurring. Keep in mind, the Social Security Administration does not make disability determinations according to your VA disability rating. Instead, it is used to qualify you for expedited processing. In civilian claims it could take anywhere from 3 months to 3 years for claim to be adjudicated.
