Finding A New Direction to Work For You.
Putting Your Government To Work For You
You've spent your working life contributing to Social Security, and when you are injured, unable to work or disabled, you reasonably expect your government to live up to their obligations by granting Social Security disability benefits.
Unfortunately, it is tragically common for workers across the nation and across Washington State to need the assistance of an experienced lawyer to assist in gaining access to the Social Security disability benefits to which they are entitled.
Complete Solutions To Your Injury or Disability
We often recommend to our clients pursuing workers' compensation claims that they also seek Social Security disability benefits. Along with requirements for eligibility of benefits, you also have the option of recovering different kinds of benefits.
- Social Security Disability (SSD) - These are benefits for people who have a work history of at least 20 quarters, and earnings are based on your employment and income history.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) - This is coverage for people who have not built up the required work history for SSD. Earnings are based on need, household income and other assets.
- Social Security Widows Benefits (SSWB) - This is coverage for widows or widowers of primary income earners of at least 50 years of age and who would have qualified for SSD. Earnings can be based on the income history of the deceased spouse.
After filing for initial Social Security disability benefits, if you are turned down you have the option of hiring us to help you appeal your application. Rejection of an application for Social Security disability benefits is unfortunately very common. But we have a proven record of helping our neighbors all across Central Washington recover the government benefits that they've supported with their own wages for years.
