Social Security is something you spend years paying into as a worker. Whether you contribute through paycheck deposits or self-employment, those funds are placed into the system so that when you retire, you can begin to collect benefits. Further, when you suffer disabling injuries and illnesses that prevent you from working, you may wish to seek out Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), a financial resource in times of need.
It is not simple to get these benefits however, even though you paid into the system. With the help of our New Jersey SSDI lawyers at TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, you have a better chance of obtaining a favorable disability claim outcome. Call our New Jersey office today at (973) 620-2720 for your free consultation.
Social Security Administration (SSA) rules are stringent and very narrow. If you do not fully meet their obligations, receiving benefits can become impossible. At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we recognize the risks our clients face in these situations and bring the best legal support and representation to the table.
We recommend discussing your case with our SSDI attorneys in New Jersey as a first step. Our Newark office is located right down the street from Route 21 and just minutes from Branch Brook Park. When you visit, we will be open and honest with you about the legal options you have. That includes providing you with clarity on your rights, the requirements for meeting SSDI, and what your next steps are.
Even if you have filed and been denied benefits, we can help you. Set up a free consultation to discuss your case with our legal team now.
The amount you may get from SSDI is dependent on a number of factors. For most people, the monthly benefits will range from $700 to $1800 per month, with most people in New Jersey qualifying for around $1600 per month. However, to obtain benefits, you must meet specific requirements. More so, the value of your specific claim is determined by the amount of time and value of contributions to SSDI over your working career. When you meet with our SSDI attorneys in New Jersey, we can help determine what your monthly payment may be, as well as if you are owed any back pay from SSDI.
When you are unable to work, it is not an automatic process to receive SSDI. Rather, the SSA must provide approval, and for that to happen, you have to show you are qualified. There are numerous qualifications to obtain benefits, including:
If you believe you qualify under these rules, the next step is to determine if you have contributed enough to SSA to obtain the compensation owed to you. To qualify, you must have worked enough to earn at least 40 work credits. Here is how this works:
You must have at least 20 of those credits earned in the last 10 years to qualify for SSDI. If these factors apply, you are then eligible to obtain compensation.
Having put in enough time is only the first step. You also need to have a condition that Social Security recognizes as being disabling. This is not the same as your doctor saying you cannot work. Rather, when you apply for SSDI with our attorneys’ health, you will need to demonstrate you meet all of the criteria under the law, which is dependent on the type of condition, the severity, the symptoms, and the implications to your ability to work.
Our SSDI attorneys in New Jersey help clients with a wide range of disability conditions. Every single one has different requirements you must meet, but with our experience, we can help you determine if you have the required levels to earn benefits. Some of the conditions that may apply include:
In these situations, we strongly urge you to contact our SSDI attorney to discuss your right to compensation. Remember, the rules are very challenging, and most people are denied the first time they apply.
Our SSDI attorneys in New Jersey have the experience you need to know that you are putting in the most thorough and complete application for benefits possible. Leaving any information out, not meeting one requirement, or not reaching the expected level of limitation listed by SSA means you can be denied.
Our SSDI lawyers have helped many people who have previously been denied compensation through benefits get that overturned. We have also worked to help people obtain compassionate care if their condition is very serious.
If you cannot work now and are unlikely to be able to work due to a medical condition for the next year or more, we strongly encourage you to contact our New Jersey SSDI attorneys to discuss your legal options.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we take our clients’ needs seriously. We have worked with some of the most challenging situations to get our clients the benefits they deserve. Contact our New Jersey personal injury lawyers today to discuss your right to SSDI as well as any concerns you may have along the way. Call us today at (973) 620-2720 for your free consultation.
