Get a Free Consultation
At the Law Offices of Karen Kraus Bill, we are offering free consultations by phone to help you get relief during the coronavirus pandemic. Just because you aren’t able to leave your house, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to take care of important things like getting your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits. In a time where the economy is feeling unstable, and the world around us is in a state of uncertainty, we are prepared to help you get the income you need.
Want to Learn More About Social Security Benefits?
If you are considering applying for SSDI or SSI, but not sure if you are eligible or where to start, keep reading for more information.
Can I Apply for SSDI?
If you are under the age of 65 and have earned a particular number of work credits, you may qualify as a candidate for Social Security Disability Income. You may be eligible for SSDI if you:
- Are under the age of 65
- Worked 5 out of the last 10 years
- Have a mental or physical impairment
Federal law defines disabled as someone unable to work because of a medical condition that is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Can I Apply for SSI?
Supplemental Security Income may be one of the most applicable social security benefits during the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. You could qualify if you:
- Have a limited income
- Have less than $2,000 in assets as an individual OR
- Have less than $3,000 in assets as a couple
Individuals of any age, children included, can apply for SSI if they are disabled and have limited to no income or resources. Individuals over the age of 65 can qualify, regardless of their medical condition.
Need to Appeal an SSI or SSDI Denial?
If you have already applied for SSI or SSDI yourself and have been denied, The Law Offices of Karen Kraus Bill can assist you during the appeals process. There is only a short time frame available to appeal, so as soon as you know you have been denied, contact us for a free phone consultation. Applications can often be denied due to mistakes, misinformation, or unsuccessful attempts to collect necessary medical information when an individual attempts to apply on their own. Having a skilled attorney who is experienced in handling disability law cases can mean the difference between being approved and denied.
