Philadelphia Social Security Disability Lawyers

If you or a family member suffers from an injury or disease that prevents you from working, or is expected to prevent you from working for one year or longer, you may be entitled to receive Social Security disability benefits. The Philadelphia and Social Security disability lawyers at the law offices of Arlene Glenn Simolike, Esq. and Associates, P.C. assist clients or their loved one who have been denied benefits under Social Security receive the disability settlements to which they are entitled.

The Social Security system provides two benefit programs for disabled persons: Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security Disability (SSD) is for workers who have contributed to a Social Security account while working for a specified period of time, usually five out of the last ten years. Disabled widows and widowers of Social Security wage earners may also qualify for benefits. Supplemental Security Income (SSI), on the other hand, is a federal income supplement program that provides disability benefits for low-income persons not insured for Social Security Disability. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income.

If your Social Security claim has been denied, do not be discouraged. The vast majority of the applications filed are denied the first time. If your claim has been denied, contact a lawyer experienced with Social Security Disability claims. At the law offices of Arlene Glenn Simolike, Esq. and Associates, P.C., our attorneys will request an appeal hearing before an administrative law judge and fight for the benefits you deserve. We believe in the importance of working together with clients and their families as a team and are committed to helping disabled persons and their families.
