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...

How a house fire cost a person their Supplemental Security Income

While the possibility of a person losing their home to an explosion, fire, natural disaster or other accident is rather remote, people understandably don't want to take any chances and will therefore go to great lengths to ensure that they have a sound homeowners' insurance policy to protect them. However, what if the unimaginable happens and a person loses their home? Can the insurance proceeds secured for the loss of the home potentially comprise their ability to secure much-needed Supplemental...

What affect is the sequester having on SSD and SSI benefits?

In the weeks leading up to March, people across the nation were introduced to a term they had probably never heard before: sequester. Although it carried little meaning for a majority of people, including many here in Illinois, there was still an air of fear about it; it sounded ominous and whatever it was, it was not something the United States wanted to happen. Now, with the sequester in full swing, people are beginning to see that it is a...

How are people reacting to the new direct deposit system?

From Social Security to Supplemental Security Income, just about everyone across the nation, including here in Illinois, are well aware of the Social Security Administration's switch to direct deposit for just about every type of benefit. But while there are still some concerns over whether the switch will work as well as planned, the overall reception has been mostly positive from beneficiaries across the nation. Many people receiving benefit checks by mail have been mostly concerned that there would be...

Parents in Illinois ask: can disabled children qualify for benefits?

As readers of our blog may already be aware, it's common knowledge that the Social Security Administration covers adults with disabilities and provides benefits to people who may be experiencing financial difficulties because of their disability. But some parents in Illinois have asked a rather good question that we hope we can answer for them. The question revolves around children with disabilities and whether they can qualify for benefits from the Social Security Administration. The answer is undoubtedly yes. There...

Non-citizens eligible for SSI benefits

Despite the fact that the2012 presidential election is long behind us, many people in the United States-including some here in Illinois-are still feeling the effects of the contentions between political parties and their views on immigrant rights in America. But political allegiances aside, the Social Security Administration wants to stress that many immigrants-including some non-citizens as well-have the right to apply for benefits in the event that they become disabled or can no longer work. Like with a majority of...

Social Security Administration announces that benefits will increase in 2013

In the wake of the recession, many families struggled to keep up with rising costs and shrinking pocket books. For those who were receiving Social Security benefits at the time, any additional income was certainly welcomed though it was few and far between. But just last month, people receiving Social Security and Supplemental Security Income received the good news that they had been waiting to hear for several years now. According to an announcement made by the Social Security Administration,...

SSA attempts to save money by cutting office hours

According to the Social Security Administration, they requested from the government roughly $11.76 billion for administrative expenses for the fiscal year that began in October. Instead, Congress cut the budget by almost $400 million leaving the administration in a rather difficult situation. Despite the recent go ahead from the government to approve more applications this year, claims are still mounting. Workers are constantly working overtime to keep up with the public demand which is costing the administration more money than...

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.

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 ...
