Do I Qualify For SSDI or SSI Benefits?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to workers who have become disabled if they have paid enough premiums to qualify. Premiums are paid monthly by employees when their employer withholds FICA from their paychecks.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays benefits to severely disabled people with very limited income and resources. To qualify for SSI, a person must either be ineligible to receive SSDI or are only able to receive a very small amount of SSDI. The SSI program also pays benefits to people who are blind and adults with limited income who are 65 or older.
How A Norman Social Security Disability Attorney Can Help
Only about 20% of initial Social Security disability applications are approved.
An experienced Social Security Disability Attorney in Norman has the skill and deep understanding of the SSDI process to avoid application mistakes so you are more likely to be approved in the initial phase. They will also know how to successfully pursue an appeal if necessary.
Some of the steps your SSDI attorney may take to support your claim include:
- Have your doctor prepare a report about your condition that is consistent with the SSA regulations
- Gather evidence to prove the severity of your condition
- Object to improper procedures and evidence at a hearing
- Consider and object if necessary to any request for a second medical opinion by the Administrative Law Judge
- Help obtain a functional capacity evaluation (FCE) also known as a medical source statement
- Have subpoenas issued to important witnesses
- Review all actions taken by the SSA
- Cross-examine SSA witnesses at your Administrative Hearing
- Ensure your benefits are calculated correctly
- Request a review by the SSA Appeals Council if you are denied
The SSDI application process is strict and small errors can cause your application to be denied. Let us help you apply for and receive the maximum SSDI benefits you are entitled to.
