An Overview of Social Security Disability Benefits in Illinois
Social Security disability (SSD) benefits are paid through two federal programs. Here are what you need to know about the different types of disability benefits in Lee County, Illinois:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): To qualify for SSDI benefits, you must have earned enough work credits through your payroll tax (FICA) contributions. The length of required work history depends on the age of the applicant. To learn more, contact our Dixon SSDI attorneys for help.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): If you cannot qualify for SSDI benefits due to lack of work history, you may still be able to get Social Security disability compensation through SSI. It is a disability program based entirely on financial need and medical status. Call our Dixon SSI lawyers for more information.
Of course, qualifying for SSDI benefits or SSI also requires comprehensive medical documentation. An experienced Dixon disability lawyer can help you gather and prepare the medical evidence.
Understanding Social Security Disability Appeals
Unfortunately, some people struggle to get access to the full and complete disability compensation that they deserve. If you received a denial letter from the SSA, you have the right to file an appeal. Your initial appeal is known as a Request for Reconsideration—and it should be filed within 60 days. If your disability claim is denied on reconsideration, you can get a hearing from an administrative judge. A Dixon SSD lawyer can help you navigate the disability appeals process.
