Our client, a 49-year-old former worker with a consistent employment history, became unable to continue working due to disabling medical conditions in mid-2024. After his condition prevented him from maintaining gainful employment, he applied for both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
We formally entered our representation and submitted the required disability applications and supporting documentation under both Title II and Title XVI of the Social Security Act. While the claim was pending, we ensured that medical evidence remained current and that the file was properly developed to support disability.
The Social Security Administration ultimately found our client disabled as of June 27, 2024. He was awarded monthly SSDI benefits beginning December 2024 in the amount of $1,544 per month. He also received $10,785.00 in past-due SSDI benefits. Additionally, he was approved for Supplemental Security Income beginning September 2024, resulting in $6,398.70 in SSI back pay.
This case highlights the importance of properly coordinating dual eligibility claims. SSDI and SSI benefits interact, and income offsets can significantly affect payment amounts. Through careful preparation, submission of complete documentation, and consistent follow-up, we helped secure both ongoing monthly benefits and substantial back pay for our client.
