Providing Legal Representation to Social Security Disability Applicants in New Jersey

Social Security Law Group is a private law firm that focuses on disability cases. We have helped over 55,000 people successfully qualify for Social Security benefits. Some of the specific subjects our lawyers can help you with include:

  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is a federal program that provides support for individuals who are disabled and have earned a specified number of work credits through their prior employment. Since SSDI is considered a form of insurance, your eligibility is not tied to your other income or assets. But you must still demonstrate that you have a qualifying physical or mental impairment. Our New Jersey SSDI attorneys can review your case, advise you of your rights under the law, and handle the application and appeals process on your behalf.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is also for individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. But unlike SSDI, SSI does not have any prior work requirements. Instead, SSI is a means-tested program for New Jersey residents with little income or assets. Our New Jersey SSI attorneys can advise you of the specific financial limits and whether you may be eligible for benefits.
  • Child Disability Claims: Children from birth up to the age of 18 can also qualify for SSI benefits. The medical and financial requirements are largely the same as for adult SSI recipients. Social Security will consider the family’s household income. Adults who have had disabilities since childhood may also be eligible for SSDI benefits under their parent’s work record. Our New Jersey disability lawyers can provide you with additional information and represent you should you wish to seek Social Security benefits on behalf of your child.
  • Survivor (Widow’s) Benefits: If you have lost your spouse and they previously worked and paid into the Social Security system, you may have access to certain survivor’s benefits. This includes reduced retirement benefits starting as early as age 60, disability benefits starting as early as 50, and benefits at any age if you have a child receiving disability benefits. Our New Jersey Social Security disability lawyers can assist you in seeking any of these survivor or widow’s benefits that you may be entitled to under the law.
  • Medicare Issues: If you qualify for SSDI or SSI benefits, you can also qualify for Medicare. But applying for Medicare involves its own complicated process that often overwhelms first-time applicants. Our New Jersey Social Security disability attorneys can provide you with expert advice and assistance in navigating the Medicare system and help you qualify for medical insurance.

Handling Social Security Disability Appeals in New Jersey

The first time that you apply for SSDI or SSI benefits, you may be told “no.” This is surprisingly more common than you think. But that initial rejection is not the end of the road. Our New Jersey Social Security disability attorneys can walk you through the multiple stages of the appeals process, which includes the following:

  • [Request for Reconsideration]: By some estimates about two-thirds of initial Social Security disability claims in New Jersey are denied the first time. But anyone who is denied can file a request for reconsideration. This means that a different Social Security official must consider your application–including any additional evidence you wish to produce–and issue a new decision.
  • [Hearing Before the Administrative Law Judge]: Have you already applied for reconsideration and still been turned down? Your next step is to ask for a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ), a Social Security Administration official who will again review your case and consider any evidence in support of your application. Our New Jersey disability attorneys can represent you at this hearing, which is similar to a trial.
  • [Hearing Before the Appeals Council]: If the ALJ still turns you down, then your next step is to seek a review before Social Security’s Appeals Council, which is a body made up of several ALJs. The Appeals Council has the discretion to review ALJ decisions and, if they agree with the applicant, either award disability benefits or order a new hearing before the ALJ.
  • [Litigation]: The Appeals Council is the final stop for internal review of a Social Security disability matter. If the Appeals Council declines to review your case or rules against you, then you have the right to file a lawsuit against the Social Security Administration in New Jersey federal court. Our New Jersey Social Security disability attorneys can represent you in filing and pursuing this litigation when necessary.
