Disability Benefits in Lehi: What Can You Get?

The Barnes Disability SSD lawyers in Lehi help with three kinds of disability benefits.

It’s important to know that none of these programs are free handouts for undeserving people. They all have strict rules to qualify for benefits.

While you’re not on trial, you have to prove you deserve disability benefits as if you’re making a legal case—even though this is financial relief you sorely need.

Talk to us about claiming any of these kinds of disability benefits:

• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): You become eligible for SSDI by working and paying Social Security taxes. This is coverage against the economic shock of severe medical problems that force you off work. It’s supposed to be there when you need it, providing monthly checks. But they don’t make it easy to win approval.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): You can get SSI when your health makes it impossible to work, just like with SSDI, but this program helps you when you haven’t been able to build the work history that you need for SSDI. It will likely pay less per month than SSI, but it’s a vital help in covering your basic needs.
• Long-Term Disability Insurance: You pay for long-term disability insurance with premiums to an insurance company, not taxes to the government. Your employer could provide it, or you can buy a policy on your own. Just like with the government, these insurance companies look for ways to deny you—in this case to protect their business—so you can benefit from having a lawyer watch out for your rights.
