Social Security Disability Benefits
Let us help you fight for your rights and achieve the justice you deserve.
Navigating the Path to Social Security Disability Benefits
Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be a complex and overwhelming process, especially for those already struggling with a disabling condition. If a behavioral health issue or other disability prevents you from working, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
At the Law Office of James Casey Fos, we are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the application process and fighting for the benefits you deserve.
Understanding Social Security Disability Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two primary types of disability benefits:
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a sufficient period but are now unable to work due to a disability.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI provides financial assistance to disabled individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history
