This approach ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
Time is critical in these matters. The Social Security Administration gives you just 60 days to file an appeal after any decision.

Reach out to us today to learn about your options.
Understanding Disability Insurance Benefits
Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB), also known as Title II benefits, provide crucial financial support when health conditions prevent you from working. These benefits are available to individuals who cannot perform “substantial gainful activity” due to a medical condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, for at least 12 months.
To qualify, you must have contributed to Social Security through your FICA taxes during your working years. Most people need to have worked approximately five out of the last 10 years to be “insured” under this program. Your monthly benefit amount reflects your work history and lifetime contributions. Longer work histories and higher earnings typically result in larger payments.
Approved claims may include retroactive benefits, extending back up to one year from your application date. There is a mandatory five-month waiting period from your disability onset date before payments begin. Medicare eligibility starts 24 months after your first disability payment.
At Lee Injury Law Firm, PLLC, attorney Mark takes the time to explain each step of the DIB process, helping you understand your options under Title II benefits.
