Can a Social Worker Help with Disability Benefits?

    A social worker is a professional service worker who helps you in different areas of your life. They may help you with counseling, finding a job, starting school, or finding child care, just to name a few. In some cases, social workers can help you apply for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Insurance. They may carry the title of SSD or SSI case manager.

    While social workers are employed to help you, they aren’t legal experts. Here are some of the ways a social worker can help you with your case, and some of the circumstances in which you should turn to a Social Security Disability lawyer.

    How a Social Worker Can Help

    1. Explain Benefit Programs
      If you’ve never applied for Social Security before, a social worker can help explain the process to you, including the differences between different federal and state benefit programs. They can help you decide whether or not you should apply and how long you can expect the process to take.
    2. Budgeting Help
      .Once your Social Security Disability claim is approved, you’ll receive payments for a set amount. These payments are subject to taxes, which can alter the income you actually receive. A social worker can go over these payments and help you create a budget that works for you.
    3. Referrals
      Unfortunately, in many cases, your journey to receiving Social Security Disability can become difficult. The bureaucratic process may be even more difficult for people who have certain types of disabilities, like chronic pain or headaches. In these cases, having an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer by your side is crucial. A social worker is a good resource for referring you to a trustworthy legal expert.

    When You Need a Lawyer

    For your own peace of mind, we strongly suggest turning to one of our disability benefits lawyers with your claim, no matter your circumstances.

    Many people think hiring a lawyer is unaffordable, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. All of our work is done on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay anything upfront. Once your claim is approved, a percentage of your benefits will be paid out to cover legal fees.

    Even at that point, the Social Security Administration oversees and approves legal representation fees to ensure lawyers don’t charge more than a reasonable percentage of benefits.

    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.

    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 filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    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 ...
