Medicaid and Long-Term Elder Care

A lot of people believe they will never need nursing home care, but as practicing Social Security lawyers in Libertyville and surrounding areas, we know that widespread belief is just not true. Unfortunately, as we age we often suffer from conditions requiring 24/7 care in well-equipped and staffed facilities. Consider, for example, these sobering facts and statistics. From 2002 to 2012, the costs of long-term care grew twice as fast as the rate of inflation. Sixty-eight percent of Americans age...

Question of the Month: Do Multiple Health Problems Improve the Chances of Getting Benefits?

Qualifying for one disability can be difficult enough to prove, so what happens when you have multiple disabilities that may qualify for benefits? One common myth that our Chicago disability attorney hears is that an application should only be for one type of impairment instead of covering multiple impairments. For example, the myth suggests that a physical impairment should have a different application than a mental impairment. This simply is not true! Here are some tips from our team. How...

Beware of Social Security Imposters

Unfortunately, the risk of scammers is all around us, and scammers try to prey on innocent people to obtain money.

Some scammers even threaten that there’s a government worker on the way to their house to arrest them if they don’t pay.

I want to thank the Rabin legal team for their outstanding support since 2022 in helping Lindsay successfully getting through the SSI application, appeal(s), and finally approval process.

Everyone on your team has been extremely helpful, patient, professional, and diligent in working through this long and arduos process. The fact that Lindsay's file had approximately 3000 pages clearly shows the amount of time, work, and thoroughness the Rabin team has done for Lindsay. My wife, Lindsay and I cannot thank each of you enough for the support you have provided through this process. The SSI decision is a key step in Lindsay's continued progress in working through her disability. The positive outcome of yesterday's hearing clearly shows how your team's collective efforts over several years provided the information needed to have SSI approve the appeal. Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support.

My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

Thank you so much for all you and the staff have done for me.

It meant a lot to me every time I called and whoever I talked to knew all about my case. It was wonderful that I didn’t get pushed from one person to another. Your staff was always happy; they acted like they personally know me. But most of all I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU HAD MY CASE DONE. You and your staff really put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing what I couldn’t get done. Everyone will know Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associate

This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
