Our job is to help you apply for SSDI benefits through the Social Security Administration’s website. We know this process can be challenging, and that’s why we guide you through every step.

You must have worked and paid into the SSA (FICA) for a specific period (generally 5 of the last 10 years). You must have a medical condition(s) that keep you from being able to work, and your condition(s) must also have lasted, or be expected to last for 12 months or longer.

Yes. Your LTD company usually requires you to file for SSDI. You can receive both SSDI and LTD. However, there is an offset for the SSDI benefits. That means your LTD company will reduce their benefits by what SSDI pays you. Your overall income is the same, but you will be paid from both sources.

This is based on what you have paid into the SSA via FICA. You can also use our calculator to estimate what you may receive. The SSA will calculate your benefits based on several factors, including the specific timing of your disability and the date that they make their decision, which can impact your benefit amount.

Yes. If you are approved for SSDI, Medicare is the health benefit that will begin 24 months from the date your SSDI benefits begin.

It can take as much as a year from your initial application to learn if you are approved for disability benefits. Because denials are unfortunately common, the next levels, including reconsiderations, hearings and appearing before the SSA’s Appeals Council, may range from another year to several years. We help you understand this process and navigate the delays throughout.

A representative is trained to guide you through the lengthy and tedious process of filing for disability insurance. They can file claims and appeals for you and argue your claim before an SSA Administrative Law Judge if you are denied. Advanced Disability Solutions representatives have decades of experience and specialize in SSDI. We receive our fees only after you are awarded disability insurance benefits.

You can choose to work with us from anywhere in the United States and do notneed a local address.

You have the right to appeal the decision but must do so within 60 days. We assist you in preparing and submitting your appeal, with all necessary documentation, to improve your chances of approval.

Yes. However, you need to follow the SSA’s rules on how to return to work so that you can take advantage of the safeguards to your benefits while you are making your attempt to return to work. The SSA’s Ticket to Work Program allows a person to try to return to work while drawing benefits for up to nine months.
