The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to adults and children with disabilities who have limited income and resources.

If you or a loved one need Social Security disability benefits, navigating the application process or appealing a denial can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Understanding SSDI & SSI Benefits

If you have been injured and can no longer work, you may be eligible for benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). There are two programs available for receiving disability benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

SSDI is funded by Social Security taxes. You must have paid into the system over the course of your employment to be awarded benefits on the basis of a disability. The monthly benefit you receive will be based on your earning record while paying into the system. You must also have worked for a certain period of time, generally at least five of the last ten years.

SSI may be available to those with a limited work history and limited resources. In order to qualify, you must meet certain medical and non-medical guidelines. Non-medical guidelines include income, the income of a spouse or partner, and assets.

Our team of Valdosta Social Security Disability attorneys can help determine which program is right for you and assist you through every step of the application process.

What If Your Claim is Denied or Not Accepted?

Over 70% of Social Security disability claims are initially denied. There can be many reasons for a denial, including insufficient medical evidence of a disability, inaccurate paperwork, or income ineligibility. It can be challenging locating necessary records and documents, understanding the application system, and meeting filing deadlines, on top of the stresses of living with a disability.

With Farah & Farah on your side, we can help you draft the strongest possible application and gather all necessary documentation to minimize the chance of a denial. If the SSA does deny your claim, our Valdosta disability lawyers will stand by your side throughout the appeal process.

If your initial application was denied, you only have sixty days from the date of your denial to file your appeal. Time is of the essence. Trust Farah & Farah to advocate for the benefits that can provide a better future for you and your family.
