Helping Summit County Residents Pursue the SSDI and SSI Benefits They Deserve
A disabling injury, illness, or medical condition can affect every aspect of your life, including your ability to earn a living and support your family. If you can no longer work because of a disability, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Unfortunately, obtaining these benefits is often more difficult than many applicants expect.
At Mansmann & Moore, LLP, we help individuals throughout Summit County, Ohio navigate the Social Security disability process and pursue the benefits they have earned. Whether you are applying for disability benefits for the first time or appealing a denied claim, our experienced attorneys are prepared to guide you through every stage of the process.
What Is the Difference Between SSDI and SSI?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two primary disability programs:
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes but can no longer maintain substantial employment because of a qualifying disability.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides financial assistance to disabled individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history.
To qualify for either program, applicants must generally demonstrate that they have a medical condition that prevents them from working and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Our Summit County disability attorneys can evaluate your circumstances and determine which benefits may be available to you.
