Beyond the physical pain you're dealing with, you likely have emotional stress, as well as lots of unanswered questions. Few families can live for very long without a regular paycheck, or a drop in pay. If you become disabled, you will need the money available through your company's long-term disability benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or you may need to access your retirement account.
These programs are meant to protect you, but many workers run into problems when they try to get the money they need. That's when people come to the Pennington Law Firm, LLC. He fights for employees' rights throughout Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and the southeastern United States. In our experience, about 70 percent of all first-time Social Security claims are denied, but persistence and legal help usually pays off.

Disability Options
Report
When you're unable to work because of an injury or illness, you may be eligible for financial benefits through your company's long-term disability insurance plan or through the federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. Unfortunately, the process for obtaining these benefits typically involves miles of red tape.
Supplemental Security Income
Report
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a monthly benefits program administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Unlike Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which is funded through Social Security payroll taxes, SSI is funded through general taxes. As a result, you do not have to have a work history to apply for SSI.
Social Security Disability Insurance
Report
Many people think of Social Security benefits as something workers receive after they retire. That's only part of the story. One type of Social Security, known as Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI for short, sustains working people who have become disabled by an injury, disease or other medical condition and can no longer work to support themselves.
