Getting the very best and experienced attorney/representative you can find is the smart choice. It gives you instant clout, wise counsel, and (more often than not) the best outcome for your case. You do NOT pay any fees during the process of representation. The SSA determines how much it will pay your representative after you have been approved for benefits.

If you can't work, and you haven't applied for your Social Security disability benefits, you may soon find yourself financially disabled, as well. Contrary to what many worthy disabled people believe, Social Security disability benefits under Title II are not welfare, nor are they a handout. These are benefits from the money that you have paid into the Social Security Trust Fund. In most cases, without assistance, your situation will only worsen. Under Title II, an individual who hasn't worked for 5 years may lose their eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits.

Title XVI, Supplemental Security Insurance, is for those who have not had enough Social Security withholding from their paychecks due to disabilities, or for those who have never been able to hold a job or old enough to obtain one. While some may consider this a “public hand out,” we believe that we must take care of those people in our society who are unable to work in any capacity. Since the Great Depression, our great nation has felt responsible for those who cannot work in any capacity in the national economy and therefore are unable to support themselves.

If you qualify, Social Security disability insurance can provide you and your family with money until you get better, and will continue to pay you if you don't. You're entitled to benefits because you paid for them – and your employer matched them – out of every one of your paychecks.

If you did not pay into the Social Security Trust Fund due to being disabled, there is still help and hope. Title XVI, Supplemental Security Insurance, is for those who have not had enough Social Security withholding from their paychecks due to disabilities, or for those who have never been able to hold a job or old enough to obtain one.

By applying now instead of waiting, you can also become eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital benefits) and Part B (medical benefits) sooner – just 24 months after your application is approved (onset date of disability) you begin receiving your Social Security disability insurance benefits, regardless of your age. That alone may be one of the most important reasons to apply. What most don't realize is that health insurance through your employer doesn't continue indefinitely. If you're required to obtain your own health insurance, you may be uninsurable, or the costs for insurance unbearable.

In several cases, the Law Offices of Phil Studenberg has taken and won cases just for the Medicare benefits, with no fees paid. Your well-being is that important to us.

Because the Social Security claims process takes a minimum of 5 months for successful claimants to receive their first payment – and sometimes years for those who require hearings and appeals – getting started early is the best choice. If you don't apply early, your eligibility under Title II to receive Social Security disability benefits lapses five years after you stop working. The more that time goes by, the harder it is to prove your disability. Applying now is the best way to help guard against financial disaster, and help ensure a quality of life for yourself and loved ones.
