Social Security Disability Benefits: An Overview

Social Security disability benefits are actually paid by two distinct federal programs. Notably, these programs have different filing standards and eligibility requirements. Depending on your disability, income level, and work history, you may be eligible to recover Social Security disability benefits through:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is the primary federal disability insurance program. As it is funded through payroll tax contributions, an individual must have a sufficient work history (based on their age) to qualify for benefits through SSDI. If you need help getting SSDI benefits in Georgia, call the Social Security Law Group today.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Disabled individuals who lack the work history to qualify for benefits through SSDI still have legal options available. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a purely needs based program that pays out disability benefits to qualifying people. If you or your loved one needs help getting SSI benefits in Georgia, contact the Social Security Law Group for help.

How to Appeal a Social Security Disability Denial in Georgia

Unfortunately, the SSA denies many meritorious claims. Disability benefits can be denied for a wide range of different reasons—from missing medical evidence to mistakes by the agency. A small error on your application could lead to a delay or a denial. If your Social Security disability claim was denied in Georgia, it is imperative that you take quick action to preserve your legal options. You must appeal in writing within 60 days. Here are the four stages of the Social Security disability appeals process:

1. Reconsideration: To start your Social Security disability appeal, you should submit a request for reconsideration. The SSA will take a second (fresh) look at your SSDI or SSI claim. You have a right to include supplemental supporting documentation along with your request for reconsideration.
2. Administrative Law Judge Hearing: If the SSA denies your disability benefits on reconsideration, you have the right to take your case before an administrative judge. It is best to consult with an experienced Georgia Social Security disability appeals attorney when preparing for an ALJ hearing.
3. SSA Appeals Council Review: The next stage of the Social Security disability appeals process is seeking a hearing before a full administrative panel. The SSA Appeals Council is a three member body with the authority to review and reverse the decision made by an administrative judge.
4. Federal Litigation: The final stage of the appeals process is filing a complaint with a federal district court in Georgia. If you have questions about disability litigation, call our firm for immediate help. ,
