Disability Lawyers in Mocksville, NC

Are you looking for disability lawyers in Mocksville, NC? If you live in Mocksville, NC and can’t work due to a mental or physical impairment, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. Social Security has two programs that can help: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). No matter which program you qualify for, we can help you file for disability, appeal a denial and go to hearing.

How Much Money Do You Get On Disability?

The payment disability claimants receive depends on which Social Security program they qualify for. The federal Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI) pays benefits based on your average lifetime earnings. The federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits based on the SSI federal benefit rate less any countable income you may have.

The AIME determines your monthly benefit amount for SSDI. Generally speaking, the more you have in qualified earnings, the more your benefit will be. The max monthly payment for SSDI in 2022 is $3,333.

Maximum Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment amounts increase with the cost-of-living increases that apply to Social Security benefits. The latest such increase,  5.9 percent, becomes effective January 2022.

For 2022, the maximum benefit is $841 monthly for individuals, and $1,261 for eligible couples.

Qualifying for Disability

In our practice as disability lawyers in Mocksville, NC we are often asked: “Do I qualify for disability?” We have answered that question before on our blog, but it’s always good to revisit Social Security’s definition of a disability:

The Social Security Administration considers you disabled under Social Security rules if:

• You cannot do work that you did before;
• They decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
• Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.

While this definition is clear, there are many reasons you may or may not qualify for disability. It’s important to work with a professional to avoid mistakes and missed deadlines. If you have a severe physical or mental condition preventing you from working for 12 months or more, contact us today. Let us assess your situation. We will help you apply for any Social Security Disability Insurance benefits you qualify for. There is no fee unless we win.
