What Is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that acts as a safety net for workers who become disabled. To qualify for SSDI benefits:

  1. You must have a medical condition or combination of impairments that prevents you from performing Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) for at least 12 consecutive months (or is expected to result in death).
  2. You must have earned sufficient work credits by paying Social Security (FICA) taxes during your employment history.

Comprehensive Disability Representation

There are many issues that our firm handles that connect directly to SSD claims. These include:

The SSDI Process

The SSDI process begins with confirming whether your work history and medical condition meet Social Security’s requirements. You must provide medical records that document your diagnosis and limitations. If Social Security denies your initial claim, the next stage may involve filing an appeal and preparing for a hearing before a court. Each step has strict deadlines, and our attorneys guide you through them so you know what to expect and how to move forward.

Many clients feel overwhelmed by the paperwork, deadlines and medical evaluations. We help organize your records, meet filing timelines and prepare testimony so you can focus on your health.

We also explain each stage in plain language. By avoiding complicated terms, we make the process easier to understand and give you the confidence to stay engaged in your claim.

How Much Will I Owe For Fees And Costs?

Our fee never exceeds 25% of the past-due benefits you receive. In many cases, Social Security caps the fee, so you pay even less. We give every client a copy of our fee agreement for their records. If we need to make changes, we review them with you before we start representation.

You pay only for out-of-pocket expenses like medical records, reports, specialist examinations and in rare cases, court costs. In some claims, costs stay minimal or do not arise at all. You remain responsible for these expenses in addition to attorney fees.

At Manring & Farrell, if we learn that costs may arise in your claim, we discuss them with you before spending any money. You make every decision about spending, and we give you advice about whether an expense is necessary.
