Rhode Island Social Security Disability Attorneys

If you are permanently disabled and unable to work, we will attempt to obtain permanent disability benefits for you from the Social Security Administration.

We have filed for reconsiderations and hearings for individuals who are no longer able to function in the workplace. If you are unfortunately disabled and unable to work, we will file the appropriate paperwork to ensure you obtain financial help from the government. Please feel free to call us for a no-charge consultation.

Please keep in mind that any fees we obtain will be paid from retroactive benefits, and you will not have to pay anything for our services unless we are successful in obtaining these benefits.

"In 1935 the Social Security Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt. Generally, the act was designed as a social insurance program that paid workers over 65 a continued income after retiring."

Over the years, it has grown into a more complex government agency that, in addition to paying benefits to retired workers, also provides benefits for a variety of reasons, including sickness, death, or disability.

Collecting your check at retirement is straightforward and usually requires no legal assistance. However, applying for and receiving benefits for other types of claims, such as SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), often requires legal assistance. Over half of the initial claims for SSI and SSDI are denied due to the cumbersome application process.

  • Disabled Adult Child Benefits – An adult who becomes disabled before the age of 22 may qualify for SSDI if their parent meets certain qualifications. The benefit is based on the parent's earning record.
  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) – Pays benefits to you and members of your family if you are insured by the program. To qualify, you must have worked 5 out of the last 10 years and paid Social Security taxes. You must also be unable to work due to your disability.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – Pays benefits to disabled adults and children with limited income and resources. Requirements vary depending on your situation. Unlike SSDI, you do not have to pay into the system to receive SSI benefits. This program is managed by the Social Security Administration but funded by US Treasury general funds.
  • Survivors Benefits for Widows or Widowers – Available to surviving spouses based on the earnings of the deceased spouse, with a variety of other requirements.
