An Overview of Social Security Disability Benefits in Washington

When people refer to Social Security disability (SSD) benefits, they are actually talking about two distinct federal programs. The difference matters because these two Social Security disability programs are subject to differing eligibility standards. As a disabled resident of Washington, you may be able to obtain SSD benefits through:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): To bring a successful claim through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you must be ‘insured’ by the system. In practice, this means that you must have enough payroll tax contributions (a long enough work history) based on your age. If you are insured by SSDI and you are medically disabled, you can obtain benefits. If you need guidance with an SSDI claim, our Washington Social Security disability attorneys are here to help.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Social Security disability program that is primarily designed to cover disabled people who do not qualify for SSDI. There is no work history requirement with SSI. You can file for benefits even if your disability has prevented you from ever obtaining employment. Eligibility is based on disability status and financial need. If you need help with an SSI claim or appeal, our Washington Social Security disability lawyers are here as a resource.

You Can Appeal a Social Security Disability Denial in Washington

If your Social Security disability claim was denied in Washington, you have the right to file an appeal for your benefits. Do not assume that you are out of options. The SSA’s data shows that many people are able to bring successful appeals for SSDI and SSI benefits. There are four levels of review in the Social Security disability appeals process:

1. Reconsideration: The first step in a Social Security disability appeal is reconsideration. Simply defined, reconsideration is a fresh look at your claim by someone who did not take part in the initial (unfavorable) decision. You can submit additional supporting evidence during this stage of the process.
2. Administrative Law Hearing: While the SSA is responsible for reviewing and evaluating claims, the agency does not get to make the final decision. You can take a denial of SSDI or SSI benefits before an administrative law judge. Our Washington Social Security disability lawyers have extensive experience with administrative law hearings.
3. Appeals Council: The appeals council will review an unfavorable decision made by an administrative judge. Notably, the council is made up of a collection of judges. If they determine that the judge in your case made an error, they can award you benefits.
4. Federal Litigation: Although it only occurs in a limited number of cases, federal litigation is always a Social Security disability appeal option once other avenues have been fully exhausted. An experienced Washington Social Security disability attorney can help you prepare a strong, compelling appeal.
