Common Questions Regarding Your Social Security Benefits and COVID-19

The ongoing pandemic has changed how many government agencies do business, and the Social Security Administration is no exception. Many claimants and Social Security recipients have questions about their benefits. During these perilous times, it is crucial that you have access to important information in a timely and appropriate manner. Silver & Silver is here to help our clients and their families navigate the often confusing aspects of Social Security.

A New Year is a Perfect Time to Register to Vote!

social security disability lawyer near meThere’s a feeling of optimism and hope in the air every time the calendar turns from one year to the next, and we all set goals and resolve to make positive changes in our lives.

This year is particularly special for those who want to see changes in our country; 2020 is an election year! On Nov. 3, registered voters can have their voices heard and show their support for the national, state, and local government leaders they feel will best represent their interests.

At Silver & Silver, the decisions of lawmakers greatly impact all our clients, whether they’re pursuing Social Security disability, personal injury, workers’ compensation, or other employment-related cases. Our Social Security attorneys in Philadelphia, PA, are especially concerned about recent rule changes proposed by the current administration that would alter the way the Social Security Administration determines eligibility. These changes are projected to cut off benefits to hundreds of thousands of disabled Americans, including seniors and children.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Social Security Disability Lawyer?

Social Security Disability lawyers usually cost you nothing upfront.

By rule, the fee is 25% of your back pay or $9,200, whichever is less, and separate case costs like ordering medical records stay your responsibility. When your income has already stopped, the worry about affording help can feel as heavy as the disability itself.…

What Should You Do if Your SSDI Application Is Denied in Philadelphia?

If your SSDI application is denied in Philadelphia, act quickly, because you have only 60 days to appeal, and your claim can move through up to four stages of review: reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, the Appeals Council, and finally federal court. A first denial is common. Most initial applications are turned down, often for documentation or technical reasons rather than the seriousness of the condition, and many valid claims are approved on appeal. Opening that denial…
