Frequently asked in Aurora

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

Eligibility for SSDI hinges on having a medical condition that prevents substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least one year or result in death. You also need to have earned enough work credits through your employment history. Aurora residents must meet these work credit requirements.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program is a federal initiative designed to help SSDI beneficiaries return to work. It's not a trap, but rather a voluntary program offering employment services and support. Success depends on individual circumstances and the services utilized. It can be a valuable tool for those in Aurora.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSI is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources, while SSDI is an insurance program based on your work history and contributions. You don't need a work history for SSI, but you do for SSDI. Both programs offer financial assistance to eligible residents in Aurora.

What does SSDI usually pay?

What is the most a SSDI lawyer can charge?

SSDI lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This fee structure makes legal representation more accessible for those in Aurora.

Is it easier to get SSDI with a lawyer?
