Columbus, Ohio Social Security Disability Attorneys
Our firm has been in practice for more than 50 years, while our attorneys have 70 years of combined experience in the following practice areas:
Workers’ Compensation: If you are injured at work, your employer will compensate your injuries and loss of work through workers’ compensation benefits. Time is the key factor in receiving compensation if you are injured on the job. If you are denied benefits or health care for a workplace injury, call us immediately.
Intentional Tort Liability: If your injury was caused intentionally by someone else, you may be entitled to receive compensation from the responsible party. Many personal injuries result from intentional torts which may cause long-term disability. If you have a long-term or permanent disability, you may qualify for other government funded programs.
Social Security Disability (SSDI): As with a Social Security Retirement benefit, the amount of the Social Security disability benefit payable depends on the worker's age and record of covered earnings. If your disability benefits are denied, or have been suspended, our social security disability attorneys can help you file the necessary claims to receive further compensation.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): In addition to Social Security, some disabled citizens are entitled to receive Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, if they cannot work and have no other income, such as permanently disabled individuals or long-term cancer patients. If you meet these conditions, you are entitled to a monthly stipend to help pay your living costs.
Public Employees Retirement System: All employees who are paid in whole or in part by the state of Ohio, a county, municipality, or any other political subdivision of state or local government in Ohio are members of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, OPERS, unless they are covered by another state retirement system in Ohio, or by the Cincinnati Retirement System. Membership begins from the first date of employment. If you are being denied health care benefits and have worked for a government agency in Ohio, contact us immediately to determine your compensation.

What is the difference between Social Security disability and SSI disability?
The Social Security Administration is responsible for two major programs that provide benefits based on disability: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which is based on prior work under Social Security, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Payments under SSI are made on the basis of financial need.
How do I qualify for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons. To be eligible for a Social Security benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable work to be "insured" for Social Security purposes. Disability benefits are payable to blind or disabled workers, widow(er)s, or adults disabled since childhood, who are otherwise eligible. The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker.
How can I receive supplemental income for my disability?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a program financed through general revenues. SSI disability benefits are payable to adults or children who are disabled or blind, have limited income and resources, meet the living arrangement requirements, and are otherwise eligible. The monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the State or decreased by countable income and resources.
