Green Disability Law in Foley keeps clients informed about the changes that may be occurring in upcoming SSI and SSDI benefits.

A big portion of the Social Security fund goes to individuals who have sustained disabilities. However, 11 million people are at risk of losing those benefits due to the fund running low and Congress failing to replenish it. This is a very volatile time for Social Security benefits , and if you require assistance navigating this field, it might be prudent to hire a SSDI lawyer to help you.

Why Is the Fund Running Low?

A primary reason why Social Security is unable to provide the same kind of benefits it used to is simply the fact that more people are entering the workforce. Baby boomers are retiring in greater numbers than in decades past. Therefore, the same amount of money needs to be dispersed to a larger group of people. Additionally, the increase of women in the workforce only increases the pool of people who can sustain injuries in the workplace and would qualify for SSDI benefits.

How Much Are People Getting?

On an average, people who can utilize the benefits are getting about $14,000 a year from SSDI. Unfortunately, many people earn as much as three times that in a year. This severely impacts a person’s quality of life.

This is a tricky legal field, and the law is constantly changing and undergoing renovations. To learn more about it, contact Green Disability Law in Foley at 251-433-1737 and schedule a consultation with an attorney familiar with the field.

When individuals apply for Social Security Disability benefits, they will have to go before an Administrative Law Judge for a decision. The judge will ask questions to the applicant to determine if he or she is eligible for benefits. In many cases, applicants are denied after the first, and often the second time they apply, so providing adequate information is vital.
