We Provide Comprehensive Social Security Representation in Georgia

As a full-service law firm that is focused on handling Social Security disability cases, we have the unique legal experience to help people in Georgia most effectively secure their maximum available benefits. Our Georgia Social Security lawyers take pride handling each and every case with the case, passion, and individual attention that it deserves. You are never just another number to us. Along with other legal matters, our Georgia Social Security attorneys assist clients with:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal insurance program that is designed for individuals who have accumulated a sufficient number of work credits and have become disabled. To be clear, SSDI is not based on financial need but rather on your work history and medical disability. Our top Georgia SSDI  attorneys assist in gathering the necessary medical evidence, handling the paperwork, and, if required, taking our clients through all aspects of the appeals process.

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is an alternative federal Social Security disability program. SSI is a financial need-based program. It was created to cater to disabled adults and children who have limited income and limited financial resources. You may qualify for SSI benefits in Georgia even if you have little or no work history. Contact our Georgia Social Security disability lawyers for help. 

• Survivor’s (Widow’s) Benefits: We handle survivor’s (widow’s) benefit claims in Georgia. It is a benefit for families of deceased workers who had earned enough Social Security credits. Losing a loved one is always difficult. Trying to navigate the complexities of the survivor benefits can add to the stress during these already trying times. Our Georgia Social Security attorneys can help. Contact us today to set up a free initial appointment. 

• Childhood Disability Claims: Childhood disability claims may be paid as part of a Social Security disability program that is designed for children under 18 who have a substantial physical or mental impairment. The application process involves assessing the severity of the disability and understanding the family’s income limitations. Need help with a child disability claim? Contact our Georgia Social Security lawyers for a free case review. 

• Medicare: Medicare is the primary federal health insurance program that provides coverage to people who are 65 years of age or older. That being said, some younger people may also qualify for coverage through Medicare based on their disability status. We help Social Security disability beneficiaries navigate Medicare cases in Georgia.

You Have the Right to Appeal the Denial of Social Security Disability Benefits in Georgia 

Social Security disability benefits matter. When a claim gets paid, it can help to provide much needed financial support to a person and family that is navigating a challenging situation in Georgia. That being said, it is not always easy for people with disabilities to get their benefits. Indeed, a significant number of first-time SSD claims—whether through SSDI or SSI—are denied. You have the right to appeal a Social Security disability denial in Georgia. Our law firm is more than ready to help. Here is an overview of the different stages of the Social Security disability appeals process: 

1. Reconsideration: The first stage involves a complete review of your claim by an individual who wasn’t involved in the initial decision. This means that a new set of eyes will re-evaluate your application, taking into account all the evidence from the original decision and any new evidence you provide. You generally have 60 days to request reconsideration. 
2. Hearing ALJ: If you disagree with the reconsideration decision, the next step is to request a hearing. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will conduct this hearing. During the hearing, you can present witnesses and will typically be questioned about your condition and how it impacts your ability to work.
3. Appeals Council: Should you be unsatisfied with the ALJ’s decision, you can request a review by the Social Security’s Appeals Council. The Council reviews your case and determines whether to deny, grant, or remand (send back) your case for another hearing. Though, the council is not actually required to grant a hearing in any specific case. 
4. Federal Court: The last stage of appeal is litigation. If the Appeals Council either denies your request for review or you disagree with their decision, you can file a lawsuit in a federal district court. You should always be represented by a Georgia Social Security disability lawyer during federal litigation.
