If you have become disabled and can no longer work, you should apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Understand that the Social Security application process can be a lengthy and discouraging process. An overwhelming majority of applications - roughly 70 percent - are rejected during the initial determination state. While a rejection can be extremely frustrating, it's important to remember not to give up. Your chances of success can improve on appeal.
With an experienced SSDI lawyer in Detroit or an SSI attorney on your side, you can rest easy knowing your best interests are in good hands. At Goodman Acker, P.C., our Social Security attorneys in Michigan are eager to help clients get the results they deserve. And you don't pay us any attorney fees unless we successfully help you obtain benefits.
The Social Security Administration helps people apply for benefits online by visiting the official Social Security Administration website or by calling toll free at 1-800-772-1213.
After you've applied, don't hesitate to talk to Goodman Acker. If you were denied benefits, we can help you through the appeals process.
