We Take on the Full Range of Social Security Claims in Florida

Distinguished as a leading law firm specializing in Social Security disability matters, Social Security Law Group is committed to making a difference for clients. It is our mission to help people and families in Florida obtain their full and fair benefits—without any unwarranted delay. To us, each client is a unique story and a person that matters. No client is ever treated like just another case file. Along with other Social Security disability cases, our Florida attorneys have experience with:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal disability insurance program that is administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). It is funded through payroll taxes. As such, not every person in Florida is actually covered by SSDI. To qualify, an applicant must prove not only medical eligibility, but also financial and legal eligibility. Among other things, this requires establishing that you have a sufficient work history based on your current age. If you have any questions about your specific claim, please do not hesitate to contact our Florida SSDI lawyers for legal help. 
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program designed to aid elderly, blind, and disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Administered by the Social Security Administration, it provides financial assistance to qualified individuals to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Unlike SSDI, SSI is not based on prior work or employment history. Preparing to file a claim or an appeal? Contact our Florida SSI lawyers for a free consultation.
• Survivor’s (Widow’s) Benefits: Broadly explained, survivor’s (widow’s) benefits are funds allocated to the surviving spouses and children of deceased workers who earned sufficient Social Security credits. This benefit ensures financial support for families after the loss of a primary wage earner. Eligibility and amount depend on the deceased’s work history and the age or condition of the survivor. If you need help with a survivor’s benefit claim, please do not hesitate to contact our Florida Social Security lawyers immediate assistance. 
• Childhood Disability Claims: Childhood disability claims allow for the payment of financial benefits under the Social Security program for children under 18 with significant physical or mental impairments. These claims consider the child’s disability and the family’s income. Successful claims provide financial assistance to families, aiding in the child’s care and medical needs, ensuring they receive essential support during challenging times. Our Social Security lawyers handle the full range of child disability claims in Florida. 
• Medicare: Medicare is a federal health insurance program for senior citizens. Any person who is 65 years of age or older can enroll in Medicare. Beyond that, younger people may also qualify for coverage through Medicare through disability status. Doing so can be complicated. Our Florida Social Security lawyers help clients with cases related to Medicare. 

Social Security Benefits Denied in Florida? You Have the Right to Appeal

Few things in life are more frustrating than receiving a Social Security disability denial letter. These benefits are supposed to be there when you need them the most. It can be incredibly challenging to deal with a denial of benefits. Even if you received a denial, it is important to keep in mind that you have the right to appeal. There are four stages of the Social Security disability appeals process:

1. Reconsideration: Once an application is denied, the initial stage to challenge that decision is through reconsideration. You have 60 days to file your request for a reconsideration. A different claims examiner reviews your application. Notably, you have the right to submit supplemental supporting documentation along with your reconsideration request.  
2. ALJ Hearing: A hearing may be required in your case. If the reconsideration stage does not get your claim paid, you can escalate your appeal to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). You should be represented by a Florida Social Security disability lawyer during a hearing.  
3. Review by the Appeals Council: A denial by an ALJ can be raised to the Appeals Council. It is a body that is empowered to review the ALJ’s decision. The council can either uphold it, reverse it, or remand it for another ALJ hearing. 
4. Federal Court: Finally, your last recourse is to take your appeal to a federal district court. If your Social Security disability benefits are denied in Florida, federal litigation is always the last step in the appellate process. While relatively unusual, a federal lawsuit is required in some cases for people to get their benefits.
