Green Disability Law in Foley offers great advice for people looking to apply for SSDI and can help represent them if needed.

Applying for disability is different in different states. It is important to know this so that it is possible to find accurate information.

SSDI is not SSI

SSI and SSDI are completely separate programs run by the government with different methods of payment for recipients. SSI is given to those who lack sufficient work history for SSDI. While qualification for SSI means a set amount of payout, the payout for SSDI requires work credits and the payout is determined by the amount of work credits someone has so it is more variable.

State-Based Payments

Alabama provides a small additional payment to its residents. This means that some money comes direct from the federal government while some come from the state. Although it is modest, these payments are determined on the local level and are not available in every location by far.

Local Procedures

The state also has its own governing body to determine disability eligibility. Eligibility determinations run slightly lower than the national average. Around 30 percent of disability cases that are put forth in Alabama are approved.

Applying for disability can be a daunting task and assistance from knowledgeable professionals is often required to win a case. If you need help with your Alabama disability case, contact Green Disability Law in Foley at 251-433-1737 today for more information.
