Rhode Island Social Security Disability Attorneys
We Can Help You File or Appeal Your Claim
For workers in the United States, the federal government deducts a portion of their paycheck to fund our Social Security system. Part of this goes to building a reserve for workers who become disabled and are no longer able to earn an income. While the system is based on noble principles, it seems at times to turn its back on the very people who help fund it.
The truth is, the vast majority of Social Security Disability claims will initially be denied. However, with the help of a skilled lawyer, individuals can challenge the ruling and gain access to the benefits that they need and deserve, including a monthly income and Medicare benefits.

What is the Difference Between SSDI and SSI?
Understanding the difference between Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is helpful when evaluating your claim and legal options.
- Social Security Disability (SSDI) - These benefits are available to individuals who have paid into the Social Security system and are now no longer to work due to injury or disability.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) - SSI is entirely separate from the Social Security Disability. It is a federal program that offers cash to individuals with little or no income. Beneficiaries must meet the necessary requirements to be eligible.
Because these are two entirely separate programs, it is possible to qualify for both. With the help of an experienced attorney, you can rest assured that you will receive the benefits you deserve.
Who Can Receive SSDI?
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), there are many questions that must be answered when you apply for Social Security Disability. In order to file a claim you must qualify as disabled according to the SSA’s definition of disabled. Since Social Security only pays for total disability, it can be difficult to prove that you are fully disabled and are therefore worthy of receiving SSDI.
Other circumstances can also qualify you for SSDI. The SSA may allow benefits for disabled widows or widowers and disabled children. The SSA has stringent rules regulating who may receive Social Security Disability. Our attorneys are experts in these criteria and can advise you as you make a claim with the Social Security Administration. In the event that your claim is denied, there is the opportunity to appeal. Our attorneys can help you through each step of the process.
