Social Security Disability Insurance Attorneys in Detroit

Goodman Acker P.C. Can Stand Up for You

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI or SSD) benefits are available for people with disabilities who have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. If you become disabled and meet certain criteria, you may be eligible for benefits. While the process sounds straightforward, the reality is that most people, even those with disabilities, are initially denied after applying for Social Security. The Social Security Administration, which administers the program, gets over 2.5 million applications each year. Officials reject most of the applications. If you have been unsuccessful in pursuing a claim, it’s important not to give up. Many of the Social Security claims are accepted after they are resubmitted.

Many people see results on appeal with the help of our experienced Detroit SSDI lawyers. At Goodman Acker P.C., we are prepared to put together a powerful combination of experience and resources to work for those seeking benefits. At our law firm, you don’t pay us any fees unless we are successful in helping you obtain benefits! We will do everything possible to help you obtain the SSDI benefits you need.

Facts About Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

The Social Security Administration uses strict criteria to determine who is and isn’t eligible. Your disability must be so severe you are unable to perform your job or perform any other type of gainful activity. If you have not worked long enough, you may be eligible to apply for benefits through the Social Security Administration’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

You may be eligible for SSDI benefits, if you have:

• Worked five out of the last 10 years
• A disability you expect will last for at least 12 months or will result in death
