Social security disability insurance, or SSDI, is paid to people who have worked in five of the past ten years, but are no longer able to pursue gainful employment because of a disability. While you were working, taxes were taken out of your paycheck and put into SSD and SSI insurance, so you would be protected in case something happened to you.
If you qualify for SSDI, it is like having a private disability insurance policy. Whether or not you receive benefits depends upon a number of factors, including:
- How long you have worked
- Whether your injury is considered a disability under federal guidelines
- Whether you have a special situation that exempts you from some of the requirements
All social security disability claims are fact-finding missions. This is not an aggressive area of the law. As your legal counsel, it is our job to demonstrate to the judge that you meet the requirements set by the federal government. We work with the court system, not against it.
There are many factors, rules, regulations, and statutes to consider, and you have to be able to converse freely with the judge in order to make your case. With over 30 years of experience as a lawyer, attorney Gary R. Penar knows how to present your disability to the court successfully.
Whether you are preparing your initial application for SSDI or your initial claim has been denied, we can help you file your social security disability claims and obtain the full extent of benefits you deserve.
