Social Security Disability Benefits: Explained

Social Security disability benefits are paid by two separate federal programs. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover financial support by filing a claim through:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Funded through payroll taxes (FICA), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to “insured” individuals who are no longer able to earn an income due to a qualifying disability. Notably, not everyone is covered by SSDI. You must have a sufficient work history to get SSDI benefits. If you have questions about the SSDI claims process in Virginia, reach out to an attorney at the Social Security Law Group for immediate assistance.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): In contrast to SSDI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a purely needs based program. It provides direct cash assistance to people who have little to no income and are unable to work due to a qualifying disability or medical condition. If you or your family member needs help getting SSI benefits in Virginia, a lawyer at the Social Security Law Group can help.

How to Appeal a Social Security Disability Denial in Virginia

Sadly, it is not always easy for people to get their disability benefits. The SSA denies nearly two-thirds of initial claims. Even a small mistake could undermine your ability to recover benefits. If your Social Security disability claim was denied in Virginia, you need take immediate action to protect your rights. You have 60 days to initiate the appeals process. At Social Security Law Group, we represent clients in all four stages of the Social Security disability appeals process:

1. Reconsideration: Reconsideration is the first stage of the appeals process. In essence, the Social Security Administration will take a fresh look at your claim. You may submit additional supporting documents and evidence along with your request for reconsideration.
2. Administrative Law Judge Hearing: If the agency denies your disability claim for a second time, you can request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Our Virginia Social Security disability attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in ALJ hearings.
3. SSA Appeals Council Review: If the administrative judge denies your benefits, you can seek a review by a disability appeals council. The full panel will assess the decision made by the judge.
4. Federal Litigation: After all other legal remedies are exhausted, you have the right to take your SSDI appeal or SSI appeal to federal court. If you have any questions about litigation, our Virginia disability lawyers can help.
