Navigating Social Security Disability Claims 

The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two programs to help: 

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Provides benefits to disabled adults with sufficient work history and Social Security taxes paid.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): This program offers benefits to disabled adults and children with limited income and resources.

The Social Security Administration asks you for information about your medical condition, work, and education history to help them decide if you are disabled under their rules.

How do I apply for benefits?

There are two ways that you can apply for disability benefits. You can:

1. Apply online at socialsecurity.gov; or
2. Call the Social Security Administration’s toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, to make an appointment to file a disability claim at your local Social Security office or over the phone.

What happens if I’m denied?

If you were recently denied Social Security Disability Insurance benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits, you might request an appeal. 

Generally, you have 60 days after you receive the notice of the Social Security Administration’s denial to ask for any appeal.  

Sometimes, a claim may be denied at the initial level. In this case, you have the right to ask for a reconsideration. A reconsideration is a complete review of your claim by a Disability Examiner who did not participate in the first determination. 

If your claim is denied after the reconsideration, you have the right to request a hearing.

You do not need a Social Security Disability lawyer from Columbia, SC, or a representative to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits. 

However, if your claim is denied at the initial or reconsideration level, a Social Security Disability Lawyer from Goodwyn Law can help.
