Pennsylvania Social Security Disability Cases
Social Security Disability Insurance ("SSD") and Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") are federal insurance programs that provide benefits to disabled persons who are unable to work for at least twelve months or more due to a severe physical or mental impairment. The SSD program is available to disabled wage earners based on their payroll taxes that are deducted from their paychecks. SSI, on the other hand, provides benefits to low income individuals who are unable to work due to a physical or mental impairment. Kunkel & Fink, LLP has extensive experience representing individuals applying for both SSD and SSI benefits throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. In fact, many our clients are injured workers who are unable to work due to their work injuries.
The social security disability claims process is complicated and time consuming. The Social Security Administration follows a complex set of regulations that govern the claims procedure and disability determinations. Most claims submitted to the Social Security Administration are initially denied and, therefore, it is necessary to present your case before at a hearing before and an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ"). Our lawyers have successfully represented hundreds of individuals residing in Allegheny, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland, counties in their claims for social security disability benefits.
