BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR SSDI BENEFITS:

•  Sufficient work history to be covered.  For most folks, this is 5 years of work out of the most recent 10 year period.  Rules are different for very young individuals.
• A medical impairment severe enough to prevent you form working at any full-time job.  This impairment must have lasted or be expected to last for at least 12 consecutive months (called the "duration requirement").
• There must be medical evidence to prove your severe impairment(s), that is, doctor's records.
• You cannot now be working at substantial gainful activity (earning at least $1,180 per month) from your job or work activities.

 What Happens When You Contact Us?

When you call us, we will talk to you on the phone for a few minutes and get some basic information about you and your disability.  We want to find out if you meet the requirements to file an SSDI claim.

We will usually set up a free in-office consultation where you come in and speak to one of our experienced advocates face-to-face.  We may then take an application and help you complete all the forms needed to file an SSDI claim.  We will file the claim for you so you never have to go to the Social Security office.  We will thoroughly explain the process, the time frame and what to expect.

When Do I Pay You a Fee?

All of our work is free until you win your Social Security claim and receive back pay.  You will pay no deposit, costs or any other fees until that happens.  If you do not win and receive back pay, we will never charge you a fee.  So, you pay only if you get a good result.  If we take your case, we pay all costs associated with it until it settles favorably.
