An Overview of Social Security Disability Benefits in Ohio

If an injury, impairment, or other disabling medical condition is preventing you from working in Ohio, you may be entitled to monthly financial benefits through a federal program. There are two types of Social Security benefits that you can file for in Ohio:

  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): The primary Social Security disability program is called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The key thing to know about SSDI claims is that not everyone is eligible to receive benefits. You must have a long enough work history to qualify. If you have any questions about SSDI, call our Ohio Social Security disability lawyers for help.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is another program administered by the SSA. In contrast to SSDI, there is no work history requirement for SSI applicants. Instead, you will qualify based entirely on disability status and financial need. Indeed, even children may qualify for SSI benefits. For more information, please contact our Ohio SSI claims attorneys.

With both SSDI claims and SSI claims, comprehensive medical evidence is critically important. In order to qualify for Social Security disability benefits in Ohio, you need medical records that clearly document the existence and severity of your disability.

Was Your SSDI or SSI Claim Denied in Ohio? You Can Appeal

Were your Social Security disability benefits denied in Ohio? If so, you have the right to file an appeal to seek the monthly financial assistance that you are owed under the law. Unfortunately, the SSA denies qualified applicants benefits for a wide range of different reasons—from small errors in the initial application to disputes over medical evidence. The good news is that the SSA does not get to make the final call on its own. You can challenge a denial.

Whether you are applying for SSDI benefits or SSI benefits, an initial appeal is called a ‘Request for Reconsideration.’ In effect, this stage of the appeals process involves the SSA taking a fresh look at your claim. During this time, you can and should submit any relevant supplement/supporting evidence to establish your eligibility for benefits. If your claim is denied again on reconsideration, you can escalate the appeal to an administrative law judge.

Strict Deadline: You have 180 days from the date that you received a Social Security disability denial letter to submit a request for reconsideration. Do not wait to get started with your case. You need your benefits as soon as possible. Call an Ohio SSDI & SSI appeals attorney for help.
