The Social Security Administration handles Social Security and Supplemental Income disability payments. Pencheff and Fraley LPA helps individuals file their claims, a process that can be challenging and filled with potential landmines. For all Ohio residents filing for disability, it is essential to ensure you do everything you are supposed to do. We can help with that. You have two options: Social Security Disability payments, which do not begin until the sixth full month of disability, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which occurs in the first full month of your disability. We can help you determine which is best for you.
The Social Security Administration will use a five-point process to determine whether you are eligible for payments, regardless of whether you choose social security disability or SSI. First, they will ask you whether you currently work. If you are working and your earnings exceed a certain amount, they might not approve your claim. Secondly, the administration will gauge whether your condition is severe and on the approved list of impairments. They will also ask whether you can perform the same work you did before and ask whether there is other work you can perform. Our legal team can help ensure you answer these questions correctly and help advocate on your behalf. While it is not required to hire an attorney for this process, doing so will improve your chances.
REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES
“I have had the privilege of working with Attorney Ray on three separate occasions, and each time he has delivered outstanding results. Typically, I am not inclined to write reviews after just one or two experiences, but Ray’s unwavering dedication and exceptional outcomes compel me to share my positive experiences.”
“I cannot thank Pencheff and Fraley enough for the incredible support and dedication they provided during my personal injury case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of the law. They kept me informed every step of the way, always making sure I felt comfortable and understood my options.”
“I could not have chosen a better attorney to handle my husband’s case after his serious accident. Brad is a true professional—reassuring, sympathetic, and dedicated. Amy was also fantastic, always returning our calls and answering every question. You guys are the best!”
“I can’t recommend this law firm enough! My car was hit by a semi last year. It was a long recovery, and an exhausting process, but David Fraley helped immensely. He was professional, and very friendly. He was able to reach a favorable settlement for me. He was the only part of the entire process that was easy and stress-free.”
