Social Security Disability & Supplemental Security Income Attorneys

Why hire E. Orum Young?

Having a disability can hinder you from working and earning a living, especially when the condition is deemed permanent or long-term. Filing a claim for social security disability insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be the answer, but oftentimes is a more complicated and drawn-out process than you might expect.  There are potentially four (4) levels at which the Social Security Administration may hear your claim, all of which bring their own challenges–that is where we come in!

At E. Orum Young Law, we help make the process of claiming your well-deserved benefits smoother and less stressful. Our experienced social security disability attorneys have worked for years with clients just like you.  Call today for your free consultation and file social security disability now!

SSDI and SSI Overview

Both programs provide you with a sum of money if you meet the Social Security Administration’s eligibility guidelines.  The difference lies in the amount of money and the medical benefits tied to each program.

While SSI is not tied to your earning history, SSDI will depend on how much social security you’ve paid when you were working. For more information on which benefits you can apply for, speak with one of our Social Security Disability Lawyers.

While the approval ratings for each local SSA office vary, the vast majority of initial applications are unfortunately denied alleging you do not meet their medical standards.  This is often an undeserved and frustrating decision, especially when your condition actually does prevent you from working.

Our office can help guide you through the various stages within the SSDI/SSI process to boost your chances of qualifying.  You will not be charged ANY fees from our office if we do not help you win your case, so it is in both of our best interests to fight diligently for your approval.

  • Cash payments – the amount you can expect to receive each month will depend on your average lifetime earnings before the disability began. It will not be influenced by the severity of your disability. Depending on whether you draw SSDI or SSI, the amount you receive may be different if you are married, or if your state supplements payment, and if you have any source of income. Deductions in the amount can also be expected for any month in which you had a record of outstanding warrants of arrest for any of these felonies: avoiding prosecution or confinement, escaping custody, flight-escape, probation violation, or parole violations.
  • Medical insurance – if you are already receiving disability insurance, claiming insurance or Medicare is an added benefit that you become eligible for after you’ve received 24 monthly payouts, or Medicaid for SSI recipients.

The Social Security Disability Insurance is a program administered by the Social Security Administration. The SSA is the U.S. federal government’s principal agency handling social security programs which are also known as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. The OASDI provides citizens benefits to those who are retired, survivors, or disabled. It is considered one of the largest government programs in the world and accounts for a big portion of the federal budget.

The program is being funded through payroll taxes known as the FICA tax or Federal Insurance Contributions Act. In essence, if you have been faithfully paying your taxes while still employed, then you may consider those as your “insurance premiums” paid monthly, and SSD as your benefits. 

Visit our Adult and Child Listing of Impairments page to learn more. If your disability is not on the list, you may still be able to get the benefits you need by speaking with our social security attorneys.

You will be screened by the Social Security Administration to determine if you qualify for any of their aid programs. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your application, you may go through different stages of applying for disability benefits.  It is recommended that you apply for both SSDI and SSI benefits at the beginning, as both have the same medical standards.
