Total disability does not have to mean total loss of finances

Whether you became disabled because of a serious injury or illness or have lived with the impairment since birth, chances are you have thought about, at some point in your life, how it can affect your finances. This is especially true if you are totally disabled and unable to work. How will you support yourself and pay for day to day expenses? Will you have enough money to cover the cost of medical care? Will you have to rely on...

What happens if I am disabled before the age of 22?

Whether you're passed the age of retirement or barely out of high school, becoming disabled can have a huge impact on your life. It can also happen at any age too, which is problematic because this means that it may be difficult to plan for. In this week's blog post, we wanted to focus on people who become disabled before the age of 22. This is considered by some to be a critical age because a person may have only...

Despite promising data, Medicare trust still in trouble

Because we have talked about it so many times before on this blog, many of our more frequent readers are quite aware of the trouble facing the Social Security Administration’s trust funds than other residents across Illinois. As some of you already know, the rise in the number of baby boomers who need Medicare assistance has created a vacuum, allowing funds to leave the trust faster than they are coming in. Although initial estimates were incredibly bleak, only giving the...

SSA will not cut services in Illinois field offices as planned

In the last few years, the Social Security Administration has seen an increase in the number of applications for benefits in all of its programs. From retirement to disability, the administration has struggled for months now to clear its backlog and provide benefits to millions of Americans across the United States. But an uncertainty regarding the budget has conflicted with the increased workload, which has caused the administration to make some rather difficult decisions like limiting services offered at many...

How could recent VA decision affect your disability claim?

As so many of our Illinois readers know from first-hand experience, filing for disability benefits can be a frustrating process filled with complicated restrictions and confusing questions. But this process can be made even more frustrating when the agencies associated with disability benefits, such as the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs, change who can receive benefits and for what conditions. Some of our readers might be experiencing this frustration at this very moment because of a...

Social Security covers much more than just retirement

There are a number of misconceptions when it comes to Social Security benefits. While there is a tendency to only think about these benefits as what we will receive when we retire, there are a large number of other benefits as well. There are around 38 million retirees that receive Social Security income. However, there are also approximately 59 million Americans including surviving spouses, children and disabled individuals who receive Social Security payments. Even divorced spouses may be eligible to...

Are Social Security numbers poised to undergo a major change?

Without a doubt, one of the most talked about subjects of the past week has been the so-called "Heartbleed" Internet security glitch. While a technical discussion of this issue is clearly beyond the scope of our blog, "Heartbleed" has essentially exposed the online passwords of computer users for the last two years due to a flaw in a commonly utilized piece of security software. Understandably, one of the major concerns that most people have after hearing about this password exposure...

Lawsuit victory ensures vulnerable people won’t lose benefits

In a very interesting story out of the state of Oregon, the Social Security Administration found itself hauled into a federal courtroom this week to answer a lawsuit alleging that its recent actions were going to result "in the imminent suspension of life-sustaining benefits" for well over 400 people. According to reports, federal authorities recently shut down a Portland-area non-profit called Safety Net, which acted as a "payee," meaning it would manage the disability benefits (pay bills, issue checks, etc.)...

Are Social Security statements returning to mailboxes?

The Social Security Advisory Board, the governmental entity tasked with ensuring that the public understands the nation's retirement and disability systems, made a rather momentous announcement earlier this week. Specifically, the board announced on Wednesday that it was recommending that the Social Security Administration reinstate the practice of mailing annual Social Security Statements to all beneficiaries. As you may recall, the SSA suspended the mailing of the statements back in May 2011 due to what it classified at the time...

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 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 ...
