What Types of Social Security Disability Benefits are Available in Kansas?

Does an injury, sickness, or medical impairment keep you from working in Kansas? If so, you have a right to file for Social Security disability compensation. These monthly benefits provide a much needed financial lifeline. There are two federal disability programs:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): The majority of Social Security disability claims fall under the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. Eligibility for SSDI benefits is based on work history. In other words, you need a sufficient work record (adjusted for age) to apply for SSDI benefits. If you have questions about your eligibility, please do not hesitate to contact our Kansas Social Security disability attorneys today to learn more about SSDI claims.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Even if you cannot qualify for SSDI benefits, you may still be covered by The Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The SSI program is also operated by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and it is designed to serve as an alternative to SSDI. Eligibility for SSI disability benefits is based only on financial need. Call our Kansas SSI lawyers today to find out more about your rights and your options.

No matter what type of Social Security disability benefits you are applying for, medical documentation will play a key role in your case. The SSA must confirm the existence and severity of your disability to approve SSDI or SSI benefits. Our law firm can help you prepare a claim.

An Overview of the SSDI/SSI Appeals Process

If your Social Security disability claim was denied in Kansas, it is normal to be stressed out. An SSDI denial or an SSI denial can put a serious financial strain on your family. As difficult as this can be to deal with, there is some good news: You have the right to file an appeal. The SSA denies nearly 70 percent of initial disability claims. Many of those claims are actually denied in error—meaning you have a chance to get benefits.

To file an initial appeal, you must submit a written request for reconsideration. During this level of appeal, the SSA will hand your claims file off to a more senior reviewer who will take a second look at your claim. You will also be allowed to send in additional documents, records, or evidence to support your case. Notably, you only have 60 days to submit a request for reconsideration after receiving a Social Security disability denial.
