How Much Monthly Income Will I Receive from Social Security?
This depends on the type of Social Security disability benefit you are applying for, SSDI or SSI. SSDI is based on your work earnings that had Social Security taxes withheld. The average SSDI benefit is $1,197 and the maximum you can receive is $2,788. Social Security will not calculate this benefit amount unless you are found disabled under Social Security’s rules. In the past, Social Security would send statements with monthly benefit estimates. More recently, Social Security has stopped sending these statements due to budget constraints.
On the other hand, SSI benefit rates are calculated by the Federal Government each year and supplemented by the State of California. SSI benefits are also subject to offsets for other income you may have. For 2019, the maximum SSI benefit in California is $931.72 ($988.23 if disability is due to blindness). When you contact an SSDI attorney in Rancho Cucamonga CA, we can help determine which benefits, SSI or SSDI, you may qualify for.
Can I Claim Social Security Disability if I Am Not a Legal Resident or U.S. Citizen?
It depends. If you are a permanent resident or a lawful foreign worker, and you have paid taxes into the Social Security System, then you are likely eligible for SSDI (but not SSI) if you would otherwise qualify. However, there are exceptions. For example, residents from certain countries are not eligible for SSDI. Furthermore, to qualify for SSI benefits you must be a U.S. Citizen with some very limited exceptions for certain categories of lawful residents. Your SSDI Attorney in Rancho Cucamonga CA can assess your specific case to find the answers.
Can You Help Me if My Social Security Disability Claim Has Been Denied or is Pending?
There is an appeal process in place for Social Security disability denials. Furthermore, if your claim has been pending a long time, you may be awaiting a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. These are all very specific circumstances that require personalized help. Contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 866-536-5788 to talk to a Social Security Disability Attorney in Rancho Cucamonga CA.
