SSDI Benefits

SSDI is not government welfare. Instead, it’s a program to collect insurance benefits that you likely have already paid into. Many self-employed workers make direct payments into SSDI, or employees automatically pay into the program when they’ve been employed for five or more years in the last ten.

If you’ve been hurt or experienced a major illness that affected your ability to work, you may be entitled to SSDI benefits. Contact a lawyer in Hudson to discuss your eligibility for SSDI.

Filing My SSDI Claim

SSDI claims can be overwhelming to handle alone, and people worry about making mistakes that could cost them their SSDI benefits. Thankfully, a lawyer can help with your SSDI paperwork and recovery. If the Social Security Administration approves your application, you should receive benefits.

However, people who should qualify for benefits are often denied based on their initial application. Approximately two million Americans apply for benefits through the SSDI system or with Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and many claims are denied. However, an experienced lawyer can:

• Gather compelling evidence to support your injury or illness claim.
• Prepare accurate paperwork on your behalf.
• See that your claim moves through the system quickly.
• Provide confidence that your claim has a higher likelihood of acceptance.

If you need to collect benefits, contact an experienced attorney in Hudson who has resolved many injury or illness claims for others.

SSDI Preparation

You cannot get SSDI benefits until you’ve been unable to work for 12 months. This date is calculated based on the date of your accident or disability. However, you should start working on your application early and well in advance of the 12-month timeframe.

Even if you start early, many of our clients are surprised at how long it can take to finalize an application and start getting SSDI benefits. If you contact an attorney right away, they can prepare your SSDI application and make sure your benefits are ready to collect once you’re eligible.
