Millions of Americans thrive on pursuing the American Dream and take pride in supporting themselves and their families. Sometimes, however, people experience unforeseen and disabling events or circumstances that disrupt their lives and prevent or limit their ability to work. When this happens, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits may be available to replace lost income on a temporary or permanent basis, allowing you to preserve your financial well-being.

What to Expect

While the application process can be long and overwhelming, our goal is to move you as quickly and directly as possible to receiving your benefits. We excel at helping our clients get early awards, which means you often don’t need to go through every step to receive your benefits.

What is Social Security Disability Insurance?

While you’re working, a portion of your FICA (payroll) taxes are used to fund the SSDI  program. Administered by the federal government, this program:

  • Provides a safety net in the event that you develop a health condition that prevents you from working
  • Pays monthly wage replacement benefits to workers with severe illnesses or injuries that are expected to last at least one year or result in death
  • Is not welfare—it’s an insurance benefit that you have paid for and earned

Why is it so hard to get benefits?

The number of initial SSDI applications being filed is at an all-time high, making it more difficult than ever to receive benefits. Contributing factors include:

  • A struggling economy
  • Baby Boomers entering their most disability prone years
  • Strapped federal and state budgets
  • A high denial rate—65% of all claims are initially denied, creating a backlog of appeals
