Kapor Law, LLC

A disability advocate is a professional representative that assists individuals who file for Social Security disability benefits. This representative has significant legal knowledge, but is not a lawyer with a law degree. A disability advocate must still go through training and certification, ensuring he or she is qualified to address a claimant’s concerns.

Having an attorney can improve your chances at a successful claim. An experienced disability attorney can provide valuable guidance throughout the administrative process. Once you apply, the SSA will ask you to complete several different detailed forms. Having an attorney assist you in filling out these forms can really make a difference down the line. The SSA will also want to send you out for a physical exam and/or a psychological evaluation by one of their “consultative examiners." Your attorney would help you prepare for those evaluations.

Your choice of your attorney representative is one of the most important decisions you can make in pursuing a disability claim. Having an experienced disability attorney with a proven track record can make all the difference. Here are some things to consider: Will the attorney prepare you in person well in advance of any hearing? Will the attorney and/or his staff agree to meet with you as necessary throughout the administrative process? Does the attorney or the attorney’s staff return your calls? Will they meet with you in person as soon as your claim is filed and explain to you in comfortable terms the disability process, how to develop your claim, what to expect, etc. How many hearings has this attorney attended in the past year? Is the attorney a member of the National Association of Social Security Claimant Representatives? If so, is the attorney or at least one member of the attorney’s firm a Sustaining Member of this organization? Membership and a Sustaining Membership in this organization is an indication of how important this specialty area is to their practice. How much of their practice is devoted exclusively to disability claims? Are they licensed to practice law?

Yes! There are Social Security Survivor Benefits are financial benefits provided to the surviving spouse or eligible family members of a deceased Social Security beneficiary. The surviving spouse is typically eligible for survivor benefits if the deceased spouse had earned enough Social Security credits.

If the surviving spouse is of full retirement age (currently 66 or older), they can receive 100x% of the late spouse's Social Security benefits. However, if the deceased spouse claimed benefits before reaching full retirement age, the amount may be reduced.

The process time varies depending on when you get granted. After your initial application, it takes about 3 months on average to get a decision. If you are denied, the reconsideration may take another 2 months. If you are denied on reconsideration, you may have to wait about a year to get a hearing date in front of a judge.

When evaluating your claim, the Social Security Administration follows a sequential process. They first check if you're engaged in substantial gainful activity, assessing whether you earn at least $1220 a month. If not, they move on to whether your impairments are likely to last more than 12 months or result in death. Next, they consider if your impairments meet or equal the severity of those in their List of Impairments. If not, they assess if your impairments prevent you from performing any occupations you've done in the last 15 years. If yes, the final question examines if there are other jobs in the national economy you could sustainably perform, considering factors like your age, education, past work, and your capability despite health limitations. This last question determines the outcome of your claim.
