Frequently asked in New York

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

Eligibility for SSDI in New York hinges on having worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain period. You must also have a medical condition that meets the Social Security Administration's definition of disability and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. A specialist can assess your specific situation.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program in New York aims to help beneficiaries return to work by providing access to employment services. While it offers opportunities, it's important to understand the rules and potential implications for your benefits. Speaking with a pro can help you determine if it's the right path for your circumstances.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

In New York, SSDI is an insurance program based on your work history and paid Social Security taxes. SSI, on the other hand, is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older. The eligibility criteria and benefit amounts differ significantly.

What does SSDI usually pay?

What is the most a SSDI lawyer can charge?

In New York, SSDI lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This ensures their charges are regulated.

Is it easier to get SSDI with a lawyer?

Many find it easier to get SSDI with a lawyer because they understand the complex application process and appeal procedures in New York. A legal professional can help gather necessary documentation, present your case effectively, and navigate potential roadblocks, increasing your chances of a favorable outcome.
