Social Security Disability Attorney in Macon

The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers five criteria for determining eligibility for SSDI benefits. The requirements are as follows:

• Earn below a certain amount (less than $1,260 per month as of 2020)
• Have restricted ability to do basic work (difficulty in walking, lifting, etc)
• Have a condition the SSA considers disabling or one equally serious
• You’re unable to do any of your past work
• You’re unable to gain employment in your field or others

If your claim was denied, Morgan & Morgan may be able to help you recover your compensation. The appeal process is as follows:

1. Reconsideration: First, we can file a request for reconsideration. This request goes to the SSA, where a claim examiner will evaluate it.
2. Hearing: If the reconsideration request is unsuccessful, we can request a judicial hearing. At this point, you may be asked to present additional evidence.
3. Appeals Council: If the hearing doesn’t go in your favor, we can file an appeal with the Social Security Appeals Council. The council will either make a ruling or move it to a judge for further review.
4. Federal Court: If none of the above steps bring the desired result, we are prepared to take your case into a federal courtroom. We understand that the price for pain is infinite, and that’s why we’ll fight for full and fair compensation for you.
