Social Security is designed to provide financial support for people who work throughout their lives but suddenly find themselves unable to do so due to a disabling illness or injury. If you are in this situation, filing for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be one of the most important decisions you make in your life. Yet, the process is challenging, and, in many ways, you can be denied even if you meet the requirements.
By working with one of the Georgia SSDI lawyers in TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers’ network, you gain the knowledge and support you need to minimize the risks of being denied coverage. Call us today at (404) 620-4059 to learn more about the process.
SSI is not based on where you live but instead on how much you put into the system during your working years. On average, most people receive between $700 and $1,400 per month through SSDI, with disability payments averaging $1665.14 per month in 2024.
Your disability claim is dependent on the amount of money you have put into SSA during your working years. If you apply and are denied but later find that you qualify, you can also obtain back pay for any time you should have been covered but did not have approval. An Illinois SSDI lawyer can determine how much you are likely to receive, as well as if you qualify for back pay during a free, no-obligation consultation.
Filing for SSDI is the right of those who paid into the SSA during their working years. Keep in mind that you must meet the qualifications to do so, which includes paying enough into SSA as well as having a condition that qualifies you for disability. To qualify, you must meet the eligibility requirements which include:
If you have such an illness or injury, the next step is to prove that you paid into SSA enough to qualify. To do that, most people will need to have earned 40 work credits. You can earn four work credits per year of work. In Georgia, the value of a work credit changes each year. For 2024, a person earns one credit if they earn $1730 in a given year. If you earned $6,920 in a year, then you earned four work credits, which is the most you can earn in a single year. That means that during the course of the year, you have contributed at least that amount through wages or self-employment payments to SSA.
If you put enough into SSDI during your work years to qualify, the next step for you is to prove that you have a condition that qualifies under the SSA’s definition of disability. Remember, this is not about whether you believe you can work but how well you meet the SSDI’s requirements, and those are very strict for every condition. With the help of an SSDI attorney in Georgia, you can verify that you have the requirements to meet this obligation. You can apply for SSDI in Georgia if:
SSDI attorneys in Georgia can help you determine if you qualify and help you seek overturns of denials in many situations. Keep in mind there are dozens of conditions that warrant SSDI, but it is up to you to prove that you are, in fact, unable to work. Our network of Georgia SSDI attorneys have helped people with a wide range of conditions, including the following:
Even if your doctor tells you that you cannot work, SSDI can deny you benefits. Let the attorneys in TopDog Law’s Personal Injury Lawyers’ network prove you are entitled to benefits. They help those who are filing for the first time, as well as those who have been denied benefits in the past.
