To make your free phone consultation as meaningful as possible, you should have the following readily available:
For Social Security Disability:
- Records of your earnings. Call SS at their national number, 800-772-1213 and ask if you have enough work credits to qualify for Disability. You should also ask for your Primary Insurance Amount "PIA", and for your Date Last Insured "DLI".
- A list of your physicians, hospitals and other treating or consulting medical sources, with their records. Make sure that you have an address and telephone number for each medical source.
- A list of your prescribed medications and devices. Your pharmacy should be able to give you a computerized print out of your records for the last year or two.
- Your work history for the last 15 years is needed to complete the SSD application. If you have a resume, it should help you summarize where you worked and what kind of work you performed.
- Your spouse's and children’s' social security numbers are also needed as part of the application process.
- A copy of any individual disability insurance policy or plan that you purchased.
- A copy of any group insurance policy or plan that you purchased or are enrolled in because it may contain a premium waiver that provides for continued coverage for free while disabled. Your employer is obligated to provide you with the relevant documents.
- A list of your physicians, hospitals and other treating or consulting medical sources, with their records. Make sure that you have an address and telephone number for each medical source.
- A list of your prescribed medications and devices. Your pharmacy should be able to give you a computerized print out of your records for the last year or two.
Social Security disability cases are typically handled on a contingency basis that is limited to 25% of any retroactive benefits. Depending upon the circumstances, for individual and group disability insurance claims, we will provide you with a retainer agreement based upon either a contingency, hourly basis, or hybrid agreement.
