Individuals Seek Attorney Assistance With Filing for Social SecurityCase Information | Case ID: 4393 | Government
The Federal Government of the United States provides Social Security benefits to qualified individuals who have been determined to be partially or totally disabled. These benefits are know as SSI, SSI Disability, SSD, Social Security Income or Social Security. While an individual can file for these benefits on their own, many people have an experienced attorney represent them in what can be an intimidating and daunting filing and hearing process. Covered Illnesses, Diseases, and Conditions that may qualify for SSI Disability benefits: •ADD
•Arthritis •Anxiety •Allergies •Asbestosis •Asthma •Back Pain •Blindness •Brain Injury •Cancer •Carpal Tunnel Syndrome •Cerebral Palsy •Chronic Fatigue Syndrome •Crohn's Disease •Colitis •Deafness •Depression • Emphysema •Epilepsy •Fibromyalgia •Headaches •Heart Disease •Hepatitis C •Herniated Discs •High Blood Pressure •Hip Replacement •HIV/AIDS •Hypertension •Joint Pain •Knee Replacement •Leukemia •Lyme's Disease •Lupus •Low IQ •Legionnaire's Disease • Lymphoma •Mental Retardation •Mesothelioma •Migraine Headaches •Multiple Sclerosis •Muscular Dystrophy •Narcolepsy •Neck Pain •Paralysis •Panic Disorder •Parkinson's Disease •Psychiatric Impairments •Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy •Seizures •Schizophrenia •Sleep Apnea •Stroke •and all other disabilities Individuals who are disabled as a result of illness, disease or medical condition, must satisfy the following criteria in order to receive benefits: •You must be out of work or working but earning less than $800 a month (gross). •You must have a severe impairment (expected to last one year or result in death and which interferes with basic job activities). •Your impairment must meet a "listing." The Social Security Administration has a manual which contains different impairments that are so severe that anyone who meets these requirements automatically qualify for benefits. IF YOU DO NOT MEET A "LISTING" YOU CAN STILL QUALIFY FOR BENEFITS AND MUST GO TO THE NEXT STEP: •You must not be able to perform your past relevant work. If you can still perform any job that you have done in the past fifteen (15) years, you are not entitled to benefits. •You must not be able to perform ANY work in the national economy. The Social Security Administration considers your age, education, past work experience and transferable skills in determining whether there is ANY work in the national economy you can still do. It doesn't matter that you can't find a job that you can perform with your limitations. All that needs to be shown is whether ANY job actually exists. If you satisfy the above-mentioned requirements, you qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. You will get paid monthly benefits beginning five months from your date of disability. RIGHT TO ATTORNEY REPRESENTATION Individuals have the right to attorney representation. An attorney gathers and analyzes evidence, including medical documentation. An attorney can provide you with the necessary forms to have your doctor fill out that can help you get approved for benefits. An attorney will appear with you at your hearing and argue your case before an Administrative Law Judge. An attorney will cross-examine the Vocational Expert that will be testifying before the judge. An attorney will appeal your case, provided there is merit, if you lose at the hearing. Most attorneys take the typical SSI Disability case on a contingency basis. That means you only pay if you are approved for benefits. Are you seeking attorney assitance with filing for Social Security? We may be able to assist you.

Other Government Cases of InterestA class action lawsuit has been filed in the Southern District Court of Ohio against Bob Taft for violations of civil right law. Class members seek declaratory and injunctive relief. The court has ruled for the plaintiffs in a class action filed against the U.S. Attorney General and the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of thousands of individuals granted asylum in the United States between 1994 and 2002 who have yet to have their status changed to that of lawful permanent residents. The action alleged that the federal government failed in its obligation to issue appropriate employment authorization documents to asylees during that time. Persons eligible to take part in the action should contact the Bureau of Citizenship and Integration Services to learn how they may be provided the correct documentation. A class action has been filed against the United States Postal Service on behalf of employees who allege that the Service systematically and purposefully altered their electronic timeslips to avoid paying them overtime, in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and the Privacy Act of 1974. The action seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Qualified employees should join the action as soon as possible to prevent forfeiture of benefits because of the operation of federal statutory deadlines. The parties have reached a tentative settlement apparently valued at more than $13 million in a class-action filed against the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services and the Kentucky State Cabinet for Health Services on behalf of thousands of Kentucky residents who lost their eligibility for nursing home or in-home care because of stricter rules that were enacted in April 2003. Persons eligible to take part in the reinstatement of care should contact the attorneys for the class for more information. A class action has been filed against the Washington state Department of Licensing on behalf of state drivers whose licenses were suspended through the mail, who allege that their right to due process of law has been violated since they have no opportunity to contest potential errors. The action seeks unspecified compensatory damages. A class action lawsuit has been filed in the District Court of Kansas against Akal Security, Inc., a New Mexico based provider of private securities on military bases, for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Class members are suing for unpaid overtime compensation and retaliation. They seek reinstatement, lost wages and benefits, unpaid overtime, punitive damages, and attorney's fees and costs of the action. |
