You Deserve Crucial Financial Support

Let Us Help You Get the Benefits You Deserve

Social Security disability benefits provide crucial financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a disabling condition. These benefits are administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and are intended to replace lost income for eligible individuals. To qualify for SSD benefits, applicants must meet specific medical and non-medical criteria established by the SSA. Hogan Smith SSL can help you correctly file your SSD application to get the financial support you deserve.

DO I QUALIFY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY?

SSD benefits cover a wide range of disabilities, including physical impairments, mental health conditions, and chronic illnesses. These disabilities must be severe enough to prevent individuals from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA) for at least 12 months. Examples of qualifying disabilities include musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular conditions, mental disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Schedule your free consultation with Hogan Smith SSL today to find out if you qualify for Social Security disability benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the SSD application process?

    The SSD application process involves completing a detailed application form and providing supporting documentation, such as medical records, employment history, and income information. Applicants can apply for benefits online, by phone, or in person at their local Social Security office. It's essential to submit a thorough and accurate application to increase the likelihood of approval.

  • What kind of SSD benefits are available?

    There are two main types of Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits available to eligible individuals:


    1. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI benefits are available to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain period, earning enough work credits to qualify for benefits. These benefits are based on the individual's work history and are intended to replace lost income due to a disability that prevents them from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA).
    2. Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI benefits are available to disabled individuals who have limited income and resources, regardless of their work history. SSI provides financial assistance to help meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing for individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled. Unlike SSDI, SSI benefits are not based on work history but are subject to strict income and asset limits.

    Both SSDI and SSI provide essential financial support to individuals with disabilities, but the eligibility criteria and application process differ between the two programs. It's essential to understand the distinctions between SSDI and SSI to determine which benefits you may be eligible for and to navigate the application process effectively.
