How Much Monthly Income Will I Receive from Social Security?
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.
What if I am a Non-Citizen? Do I Have a Right to Social Security Disability?
If you are here legally as a legal foreign worker or permanent resident, and if you have been paying taxes into the Social Security system, then you are likely eligible for SSDI – but you would not be eligible for SSI. Note that you will still have to meet all other requirements to receive disability. There are some specific exceptions. Your Social Security Disability Attorney in Riverside CA can help you determine your eligibility.
Can I Get Help from a Social Security Disability Attorney in Riverside CA if My Claim for SSDI Benefits Has Been Denied?
Yes. There is an appeals process if you are denied Social Security Disability. Likewise, if your claim has been pending for months (or years) then it is likely you are waiting on a hearing with Administrative Law Judge. We can help with that. These are unique cases that require the help of an experienced Social Security Disability Attorney in Riverside CA. call The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 866-536-5788 and we can provide a free legal consultation.
Do I Have to Attend the Medical Evaluation That Social Security Set Up?
Medical evaluations are not always required. If they are scheduled, then it means the Social Security Administration is not sure there is enough medical evidence to support the claim. While they will not technically deny a claim if you do not attend your medical evaluation, they are less likely to approve it if you skip the appointment. The fact that SSA has requested the medical evaluation means they do not believe you have enough evidence without it and you should talk to a Social Security Disability Attorney in Riverside CA to find out what your best option is.
