SSDI vs. SSI Disability Benefits

There are two types of disability benefits provided by the Social Security Administration: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI); and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Each program is uniquely designed to provide benefits to people who meet certain qualifications.

While Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is designed to support individuals who are disabled and can’t work, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are designed to support disabled adults and children with limited income and resources. SSI benefits are also available to people aged 65 and older without disabilities who meet specific income requirements.

SSDI
SSDI benefits are available for disabled workers, their disabled surviving spouses, and children (disabled before age 22) of disabled, retired or deceased workers. To be considered “disabled” under the Social Security’s strict definition:

You must be unable to do any substantial work because of your medical condition(s); and
Your medical condition(s) must have lasted, or be expected to last, at least 12 months, or be expected to result in your death.

In addition to being “disabled,” a person must also meet two different earnings tests in order to qualify for SSDI benefits:

A “recent work” test based on the age at the time a person becomes disabled (which generally requires that people have worked five out of the 10 years before they become disabled); and
A “duration of work” test to show the person has worked long enough under Social Security’s rules (this generally requires that the person have an average of six years of work if they are between ages 30 and 60. People ages 27 and younger need 3 years of work).

SSI
SSI benefits are available for some people with little or no income and resources; SSI does not require either of the “earnings tests” as SSDI. SSI is available for people who have low income and few resources and are age 65 or older, disabled, or blind. Whether people can get SSI depends on their resources and income.

SSDI Disability Benefits

Most people do not think about becoming disabled. However, studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a 3 in 10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age. SSDI disability benefits are available for disabled workers, their disabled surviving spouses, and children (disabled before age 22) of disabled, retired or deceased workers.

SSDI benefits primarily consist of money paid to people who are disabled. “SSDI” refers to Social Security Disability Insurance. This is a national, federal program that is funded by the Social Security taxes that we pay.

How do I apply for SSDI disability benefits?
The easiest way to apply for SSDI disability benefits is online through Social Security’s website. Simply click on “Disability” at the top of the homepage and follow the links to apply for SSDI disability benefits.

What is the amount of SSDI benefits?
The amount of the SSDI benefits is based on a person’s lifetime earnings. The more a person has paid in Social Security taxes, the higher the amount of disability benefits the person will receive. Recently, the Social Security Administration has discontinued automatically sending annual Social Security Statements due to budget cuts. If you do not have a Social Security Statement and would like to know an estimate of your disability benefit amount, you can request one through the Social Security website or by calling 1-800-772-1213.

When do SSDI benefits start?
If your SSDI application is approved, the first SSDI benefits will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability began, and in the month after that. An example of this is as follows: if it is decided that your disability began on February 5th, your first SSDI benefits will be paid for the month of August. Because SSDI disability benefits are paid in the month following the month in which they were due, you will receive your August benefits in September.

Medicare
People who are approved for SSDI benefits will receive Medicare automatically after they have received disability benefits for two years.

Can I go back to work after receiving SSDI benefits?
After receiving SSDI benefits, some people want to try working again. The Social Security Administration has enacted special rules that will help people keep their cash benefits and Medicare coverage while they test their ability to work. These rules are called “work incentives” or “employment support” programs.

SSI Benefits

SSI benefits are paid in the form of a monthly check from Social Security to help offset the cost of living. SSI provides money to meet basic needs, and it is set up for disabled, blind, and persons age 65 and older who have little or no income.

Before Social Security starts paying SSI benefits, Social Security will send you a letter informing you of when your payments will start, and how much they will be. Your first SSI payment will be made for the first full month after you applied or became eligible for SSI. After this, the monthly amounts may not be the same each month.

The amount of SSI benefits depends on your other income and living arrangements. The first, second and third monthly SSI payments are based on your first month’s income. Social Security will send you a letter in advance if they change the amount of your payment.

If you have income for your first month of SSI, but not in the second month, Social Security calls it “nonrecurring income.” In this situation, the SSI benefit amount for the second and third month is based on the countable income from the first month, minus the nonrecurring income. After that, your SSI benefit amount is based on your income from two months before. As an example, assume a woman in Minnesota is receiving a $500 widow’s payment and a $270 SSI payment every month. In June, she wins $200 on a Minnesota lottery scratch-off ticket and reports it to her Social Security office. That means in August, her SSI benefit will be reduced to $70. Then, in September, her SSI payment goes back to $270.

SSI benefits usually increase each year to keep up with the cost of living. These cost of living increases will usually be in your January payment, which you will be notified of at the end of December.

If you want your SSI benefit by direct deposit:
You have the option of having your SSI payment directly deposited into your bank account. If you would like this option, tell your local Social Security office or contact your bank. Social Security now requires direct deposit. If you do not have your own bank account, they will issue you a debit card to deposit the money.

How do SSI benefits work?

SSI benefits can help provide basic needs, such as clothing, food, and shelter if you have limited income or resources and are:

Age 65 or older.
Blind, or suffer from a visual disability.
A disabled adult or child.

SSI benefits are awarded in the form of a monthly cash payment and vary based on your individual income, living arrangements, and other factors. Because these factors can change over time, SSI benefits are routinely reevaluated to ensure you continue to meet the requirements of the SSI program, based on resources and income.

Resources
If you have too many resources, you will not be eligible for SSI. In order to qualify for SSI, an individual’s resources cannot total more than $2,000, and couples’ resources cannot total more than $3,000. Resources include cash, money in bank accounts, real estate, and investments like stocks and bonds.

There are some things that are not included as resources for SSI:

A person’s first vehicle;
A person’s home they live on and the land where it is located;
Life insurance policies with a face value of $1,500 or less;
Burial plots for the applicant and immediate family members; and
The first $1,500.00 in burial funds for the applicant and up to $1,500 in burial funds for the applicant’s spouse.

Income
Social Security defines “income” as money received including Social Security benefits, pension and wages. Further things included in income are the value of food and shelter. The amount of income a person receives each month determines whether that person can receive SSI benefits. Children will have some of their parents’ income and resources included in determining their SSI benefit eligibility.

SSI Eligibility

Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a federal program that makes monthly payments to some low income people. SSI eligibility requires that a person have little or no income and resources (defined below) and are age 65 or older, blind, or disabled.

Where do SSI benefits come from?
The Social Security Administration manages the SSI program. However, SSI is not paid for by Social Security taxes. SSI is paid for by U.S. Treasury general funds, not the Social Security trust funds. For this reason, SSI eligibility is greater than SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, eligibility.

What qualifies as income?
Social Security defines “income” as money received including Social Security benefits, pension and wages. Further things included in income are food and shelter. The amount of income a person receives each month dictates whether that person can receive SSI benefits. In Minnesota, a person must earn no more than $980 to qualify for SSI disability benefits. However, Social Security will not count all income in deciding whether a person meets the SSI eligibility requirements. Social Security does not count the following things:

Food stamps;
Home energy assistance programs;
The first $65.00 per month a person earns from working and half the amount of money over $65.00;
The first $20.00 per month of most income person receives; and
Shelter received from non-profit organizations.

Children (people under 18-years-old) will have some of their parents’ income and resources included in determining their SSI eligibility.

Students who receive wages and scholarships can have some of that money not count toward their income in determining SSI eligibility.
Married people will have some of their spouse’s income and resources count in deciding their SSI eligibility.

What qualifies as resources?
The Social Security Administration counts resources including real estate, cash, bank accounts, stocks and bonds, in determining whether a person qualifies for SSI disability benefits. People may qualify for SSI eligibility if their resources total no more than $2,000.00. Couples may qualify for SSI eligibility if their resources total no more than $3,000.00. Social Security will not count everything people own in determining whether they have too many resources to get SSI benefits. Social Security will not count the following things:

A person’s first vehicle;
A person’s home they live on and the land where it is located;
Burial plots for the applicant and immediate family members;
Life insurance policies with a face value of $1,500 or less; and
The first $1,500.00 in burial funds for the applicant and up to $1,500 in burial funds for the applicant’s spouse.

How do I apply for SSI?
To apply for SSI, you should visit your local Social Security office. You cannot apply for SSI online. In some instances, Social Security will allow you to apply over the phone.

In addition to filing an application for SSI, you must complete two forms: a Activities of Daily Living or Function Report and a Work History Report. You can complete these reports at the time you apply if you apply in person at your local Social Security Office, or you can complete them online prior to visiting your local Social Security Office. If you wish to complete these forms online, go to www.ssa.gov, click on “SSI,” then “How do I apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI),” and then “Adult Disability Report.”

I had the pleasure to work with Michael and Annie on my LTD case. When my claim was denied by the insurance carrier, Michael didn't hesitate to take them on with an appeal. He worked diligently on the appeal and ultimately won this for me. Mind you, this wasn't a huge case but he treated me like it was and as if I was the only case he was representing. He kept me abreast of vital information, it was clear that he knew his stuff and wasn't afraid to take on the big insurance company. Michael was much more than I ever expected given that our relationship was entirely remote, handled by telephone and email only. Not only is he a strong lawyer, he treated me with compassion and respect. I am beyond pleased with him and the Fields Law team. Michael cares about his clients and he gets the job done for them because he knows how impactful an injury can be to both a person's well-being and their financial security. I highly recommend Michael and Fields Law whether you are local to their Minnesota offices or out of state like myself.read more

Fields Law Firm is great. Patrick Kramer, my lawyer, is fantastic. He and his legal assistant Samantha K. have handled my case for several years. They have kept me informed every step of the way. They are both easy to contact. I have both of their phone numbers and email addresses and they respond promptly to any messages I leave. Without their help I would not have been able to get the disability company to fulfill their promises. It is a relief to leave all the dealings with the disability insurance company in their hands.read more

It is very difficult for the average disabled person to battle the disability insurance and Social Security disability industries. I was very sick, exhausted, and stressed out about being denied and told that I can work by someone who doesn't even know me! The paperwork was daunting and had to be filled out multiple times. I chose Field's Law Firm after finding them online. They took over my claims and handled all of the paperwork and appeals that were necessary. They even went to a hearing with me to the Social Security Judge. Field's also kept me in the loop every step of the way. This allowed me to focus more on myself and greatly reduced my financial anxiety. They don't get paid unless you get paid. You truly have nothing to lose and everything to gain! I am truly appreciative of Field's Law Firm!read more

I recently had a stroke and had to leave my job and had to go on short term Disability which turned into Long term disability and this was a challenge. It was so challenging dealing with Doctors then with LTD it seemed that they were always trying to find ways to stop my disability. So I went online and researched Attorneys for LTD cases and Fields had great reviews and I want to say this was the best decision ever Blake and Annie have been my dream team and I have not been the best client as far as being compliant I have had so many issues in the last mot from health to Money issues and they stayed on me never waivered. They were so patient and compassionate Annie's voice at times soothed me because I was so ready to give up its very stressful but they made me feel lighter like I wasn't alone and they made it happen they won my case. I am so fortunate to have found this law firm and have the super team of Blake and Annie you guys are my heroes you have saved the day in my case the year .

Let's be honest, nobody wants to need a lawyer or be put in the place where you have to search for one. And if that time comes, I hope you look to Fields Law for that! I was put in a bad spot with loosing my credit due to a companies mishandlement of my financial information. Not good, and this was a very big company. So my worries were who would be willing and capable to take on such a job. I searched and called and spent many hours trying to find that company. But when I was referred to Fields, my worries were gone! I was instantly connected with Blake my attorney, who assured me I was in the right place with the right people! The positive attitude from absolutely every person I worked with and the knowledge they possessed was awesome. They helped me understand everything in a way that I could get; since some of the terminology and process wasn't my strong point! My case was going to be a long one; and knowing this there was not a single point that I felt I wasn't in the loop. They were honest and fair to both sides and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help! Thanks again Fields Law!read more

One of my big concerns when researching for a group to help me with my short and long term insurance claims was if it was going to be an issue with a group that was not in my state of NY. It was not an issue at all. The Fields Law Group was so helpful right from start to finish of the claims. No matter who I was dealing within the group they exceeded my expectations repeatedly. Even when there was turnover of tasks within the group itself the preparation and execution of the change went flawlessly and communication lines were never dropped.I have already recommended Fields Law Group to people I thought they could help and will continue to do so. I don’t make recommendations lightly but I believe this group has really mastered their skills in both their legal knowledge and customer service. Thank you for being there to help people like myself that would have no place else to turn.read more

Fields Law Firm was engagement to represent us in a disability appeal case. From the initial contact with the firm addressing our preliminary questions and concerns the representatives were forthcoming and informative. Upon engaging the firm to represent our interest, a strategy was developed for our appeal with clear action items, milestones, and timelines. At no time did we ever feel as if we did not know the status of our case or what was happening.The firm was very clear about the information and items needed to support the case and communications were clear and supportive. The timeline and expectations for requests were clearly presented in layman's terms. Any concerns which arose during the execution of the appeal were dealt with quickly and effectively. We had a successful outcome to our case and I recommend the Fields Law Firm.read more

Blake Bauer of Fields Law Firm is a brilliant lawyer. Hands down one of the best experience of my life. Blake and his team took a very difficult and trying time for me and turned it in to an out come I would of never thought possible in the beginning. I was denied by workers compensation insurance while I was recovering from surgery that was originally an accepted claim.Blake and his team fought hard to have my benefits reinstated and see that my injury was taken care of.

Fields Law Firm was a God send when I found them. My long term disability insurance I had paid for through my employer for the extra long term disability insurance tried to get out of paying me what they had committed to. When I first spoke to one of Fields representatives very soon after I initially contacted them (on a Sunday evening) I immediately felt better and reassured that Fields Law Firm was genuinely concerned about helping me get my LTD benefits continued. And they did a great job! The folks there that worked on my case were very kind and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Fields Law Firm if you need legal help.read more

These are the kind of people that restore your faith in the belief that there ARE ethical and good caring lawyers out there.read more

I am still trying to figure out how to put into words the amazing work of Samantha and attorney, Mark. They are absolutely amazing and they validate your feelings when you are struggling with all of the challenges that accompany a disability claim. I never expected that the breaks would be placed so abruptly on my very active life and thriving career. However, that’s what happens when we are unexpectedly struck with medical circumstances. If it had not been for Mark as my attorney, I really don’t think I would have survived financially because ultimately my case was ruled in my favor. It was an extremely complex and difficult case to prove. Samantha really knows her job well and keeps things moving forward. They made a very emotionally distressing situation bearable! If you need someone to tell you honestly and navigate the complexities of ambiguous terms of you policy while making sure you receive pay out for what is owed to you, you absolutely will not find a better team! I am so grateful-they’ll never know how much they changed my life! Thank you Samantha and Mark and Fields Law Firm!read more

Fields Law Firm rocks! Jodi is awesome.Fields was instrumental in helping me receive a fully favorable decision toward obtaining my disability settlement. On my own, I was denied benefits from disability. My health history didn't change, but having Fields Law Firm in my corner got me correct decision I couldn't.After filing for benefits and going through the process of seeing the social security doctors I had been sent to, I was extremely frustrated to find out the injuries I suffer from were not worthy of a decision in my favor. The team at Fields Law Firm worked diligently on my behalf to get all my medical records in order and presented to the judge at my disability hearing.Even after receiving a favorable decision my monthly payments as well as my back payments were not coming in a timely manner- actually didn't come at all. Jodi, at Fields was on it and relentless in her efforts until I finally did start to receive monthly payments and eventually, a large back payment sum from the years my case spent sitting going nowhere.Pretty simple- by myself following the steps and procedures to get benefits, I got nowhere and denied. With Fields Law Firm, I got a fully favorable decision and the benefits I need to help support my family's financial success.Thank you Fields for all the time and effort you put in to help me through this chapter of my life.read more

I choose Fields Law Firm initially to represent me because of the care and attention they took at every level of client interaction. They were customer focused, had an up-to-date website and practices. They seemed in every way invested in their business and their clients. These first impressions did not disappoint. I was fortunate enough to get Patrick Kramer as my attorney. He was very knowledgeable about his area of law. I never had to chase him for an answer or a deadline. At every step, he was very clear about what was happening and what would happen next. Patrick called me first with any change or news. I never chased him. Samantha, who works with him, was always available, personable and helpful as well. I have no doubt that with this team, I had the best possible counsel (and outcome) available. It was a very good decision to have Fields Law Firm represent me.read more

Fields Law Firm has the knowledge and expertise to help people take on big insurance companies that are concerned more about saving money than providing the much needed disability income to their policy holders. When you are challenged with disability it is hard enough to take care of the daily personal needs in life without having to add the burden of fighting for the much needed income that is available from insurance that you carry. You can trust Fields law to act on your behalf in dealing with your benefits and producing the outcome that is just and right.Thank you Fields law for helping me.read more

All the people at Fields have been great to work with. In my case I started with an other lawyer who after talking with the insurance companies told me that I should settle for an amount he said would be the most I could expect in my case. So I started the process but a day or so after I couldn't stop thinking that I could get a better deal. After talking about it with my doctor he said to give Fields a call and see. So I did found out that I could change lawyer's which a lot of people don't know you can and cost you nothing. Long story short working with Fields turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. In the end I settle my case for a little more than " twice " the amount my first lawyer said there was no way that I could get more. I would recommend Fields Law Firm to anyone for any legal advice one might need. Thank you Fields and especially my lawyer Zachary " Zach " Schmoll for all your work and future work.

I highly recommend this law firm. Although I previously worked in law firms for over 20 years, this is the first time I have been impressed with their ethics, responsiveness and professionalism. When I first contacted Fields Law Firm, I had a concern as my worker's comp was not paying for my walker. I just happened to see their advertisement in the Sunday paper so decided to give them a call. Patty, Zachary Schmoll's paralegal, answered the phone. She made me feel like my problem was something that could be solved and there would be no charge. She very professionally proceeded to ask me about my situation and took down all the information. Within two days, I received a check from Worker's Comp for my walker. I did end up needing them for my case over a two year time frame and my case was settled recently. I am extremely happy with the outcome and if you have a situation where you need assistance, either Worker's Comp or personal injury, this is the firm for you. Fields Law Firm will evaluate your situation and let you know if they can be of assistance. Kathleen Bergread more

I wanted to post a review as I used these reviews to make my ultimate decisions to use Fields for my long term disability claim. I first contacted them and asked them to review my case and help me understand if I had a case. While they didn’t say yes for sure you have a case I felt confident based on their feedback that will their help we would win my case. This is not how I feel almost a year later waiting to submit my second long term disability appeal which will be my final as we will be homeless before we would get to a lawsuit. I honestly felt very quickly after I signed with them they wanted my case to go on as long as possible to get a better pay out especially because they always told me we would win a lawsuit. I was constantly having to follow-up with them and ask them the status of my case. While they did always respond to my emails I had to be the ones to initiate the contact. Unless they needed something from me I would go weeks without any contact or follow-up. Not knowing if you will ever get a paycheck again is very scary and feeling that your lawyer doesn’t share this concern is not comforting. I feel there is no compassion for my individual situation and the impact to my family and our finances. I am also not confident in what is submitted on my behalf which is very sad. This is because my denial letter indicated information requested from Fields had no response and my case only seemed to focus on a few not all of my conditions. If you do decide to use Fields I would specifically request only the lawyers that get the reviews you read.read more

They helped me win my case and it was with ease and honesty and professionalism that they achieved this for me. They did exactly what they said they would do and I trusted them. It was a beautiful experience for me.read more

My wife’s workers comp injury issue which they agreed to take on as a case has been passed around from lawyer to lawyer / assistant to assistant. Not taken seriously and no results even though she can’t lift a grocery bag above her waist, can’t throw tennis ball for the dog and can’t hold her grandchildren in her dominant arm. Seems to me to be a solid case. I guess we should have gone with one of the major firms instead.read more

Fields Law Firm became an option for me when I learned VOYA was cancelling my LTD benefit due to their own fabricated idea about my physical status. I had the pleasure of speaking with Joe McCarten for my initial consultation. From day one he was attentive in important ways. He listened to me and the details that I felt were important, he was very honest and asked important probing questions to make sure he was able to help me and then he became responsive in beginning the process of litigating with VOYA. From start to finish was approx 9 months. That is record time!Joe is very knowledgeable and was very upfront about things that were potentially problematic with my case. I went in with reasonable expectations, and Joe’s predictions regarding what we could reasonably expect to happen were pretty much right on! The reason to call Fields Law Firm, and more directly, Joe McCarten, is because he understands the legalities of disability, he knows all the ways insurance companies try to rob people of the very benefit they have paid premiums for and qualify for. He has the knowledge required to creatively assert an argument when the “other party” wants to convince YOU that you deserve NOTHING! Don’t listen to them! Call Joe at Fields Law Firm! Let them fight for you! You’ll be glad you did! He won for me!!read more

I injured my arm on duty as an FA. Although my company approved my OJI the worker’s comp wasn’t as understanding and I felt pressured to return to a career that I loved prematurely. I felt that my case was handled unfairly and decided to sue. I was referred to Field’s Law Firm by a friend who highly recommended Joe and his team . I’m so glad that I met with Joe and had him handle my case! From the moment I walked into Field’s I felt very comfortable and encouraged. Even though my case seemed to be a long shot Joe and his team handled it with respect, professionalism, and consistent support throughout the process. I never felt left out of the process even the smallest detail either Joe or Sarai kept me in the loop at all times. I never imagined that would get anything but this team worked diligently and was able to secure a settlement for me. I want to personally thank and recommend Joe and his team to anyone seeking legal council. They are fantastic. I hope to never go through an injury again but if I do Joe and Field’s Law Firm will be my 1st choice!!read more

After the insurance company my employer uses denied my long-term disability benefits, I didn't know what to do. Originally, I thought I might put together an appeal myself, but I'm so glad I didn't. I looked around at law firms that specialize in LTD appeals. While it was so hard to choose, I'm SO glad I went with Fields. I worked with Zach (Lawyer) and Samantha (Paralegal), and they were both so great. I won my appeal with the insurance company and I couldn't be happier. Working with them was really easy along the way and they made sure that I had the support I needed from them. They were very detailed along the way and made sure to include everything necessary for the appeal. In the middle of a really difficult personal situation, I felt like they had my back.read more

I looked online nationwide and was fortunate to find Fields Law firm. I consulted with two other law firms, however, after speaking to a representative at Fields I decided to choose them afterward.I spoke to a paralegal named Lindsey, and I was glad how friendly she was over the phone. She is very professional and was very patient with me.I then spoke to my now Atty. Mark and I am very thankful for how easy he was to talk to as well. He explained the claim process very thoroughly while making me feel comfortable. I felt like I was speaking to a friend and not an attorney. Mark is awesome at keeping me updated on the status of my claim. He gives me good advice and encourages me to make certain I am getting proper treatment for my disability. He asks for very minimal information from me as they do most of the leg work which I very much appreciate.Lindsey and Mark are always available whenever I have questions and both are very quick to respond. I am very pleased with the service they have provided thus far, so I already recommended them to a friend.read more

After i did an appeal, my lawyer got into emergency and had to drop my case as he was sick. I found this firm online and prayed before i call. It looks like an answered prayer as they handled my case beautifully. My case was difficult and they handled it and were able to take care of me emotionally.

When I suddenly became disabled, I was terrified, of course. But then, I thought, this is why I made the career decisions I did for all those years. Financial security is important to me, so I accepted positions based on the benefits offered, especially disability insurance. I quickly learned that despite having been in HR and employee benefits for 30+ years, I knew nothing about how disability claims are paid... or NOT paid. I was an insurance claim PRO! I submitted perfect claims. They should have been paid, but they weren't. After the 3rd denial, I researched and decided on Fields Law Firm. It took years, but we didn't give up and I finally received a partial settlement on my claim. This would not have happened without Fields. Especially with the insurance company I was dealing with. Every Dr. I discussed my claim with said ... That company? Forget it. You'll never get a cent from them. I didn't get everything I was owed, but thanks to Fields, I got something. Thank you Fields Law Firm!read more

GREAT FIRM!! I was diagnosed with recurrent metastatic cancer that had spread to both lungs and abdominal wall. I was on long term disability through The Hartford as a result. After two years, I was still (unexpectedly) alive. The Hartford then notified me that I was no longer disabled and refused to pay benefits. I was fighting my own illness as well as my mom having advanced breast cancer and I really felt like I didn’t have the physical nor emotional bandwidth to fight The Hartford. Initially, I just gave up but came across The Fields Law Firm on a random internet search and sent a contact request..I was immediately contacted by Sarah E. (paralegal) and Morgan A (attorney). This law firm was extremely professional and communicative and sent forms for me to sign in order for them to handle an appeal. Within two months, the insurance company had reversed their decision. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm! When you’re sick or disabled, the huge insurers play every trick in the book to make your life even more difficult. The team at this firm are your best chance to fight back!read more

Prior to hiring Field's I had no idea of where to find a SSDI atty. So I did what you are doing - searched reviews. This firm seemed solid. I had a phone meeting to determine if I had a viable case and from then on they did nearly everything. Initially I had to do some paperwork because they knew none of my private info but after that they handled everything.My atty Zach Erickson was outstanding. He listened to how I wanted to approach things - I did not feel rushed. Zach was pleasant, friendly but most importantly professional and skilled at his work. He did not over promise and had a balanced approach and always responded in a prompt manner. Also the paralegal working on my case - Jodi - was equally professional friendly and efficient.They did not drop the ball on any paperwork or records and would call me advising me what would be coming in the mail and whether or not I had to take any action.My case went to hearing and Zach managed the proceeding well. And to my wonderful surprise and amazement 12 days after the hearing I went online to check up on my bank account and 10 months of back pay had been deposited. My case was not a slam dunk. I have significant but not catastrophic health issues.Fields Law gets my strongest recommendation.read more

I read the reviews and was satisfied that I had found a law firm that could help with my application. I was sent a questionnaire about why I was applying for social security disability. The questionnaire really helped me gather information that was needed for the application for my claim with social security. Fields Law Firm reviewed the questionnaire with me and then they started the application process with social security. It was nice to have a liaison to assist in communications with social security.

I will keep there number close for any updates I need to have them involved with and recommend then to anyone who is looking for an attorney in the field for disability.

I just want to say that Zach and Sarah from Fields law firm were great. They were very professional, they explained everything , they were very calm even though I was not ( very stressed ). They gave me updates on my case continuously. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with insurance companies that treat you bad and hold on to your benefits. Anyway thanks again Zach and Sarah for helping through these trying times. 5 stars all the wayread more

Mark and Martha are absolutely incredible! Their professionalism and attentiveness with my case took an immense weight off my shoulders. I cannot thank them enough for winning my case and making the application process seamless. Before they took on my case, I had been denied twice for LTD, but they quickly turned that around for me. Thank you again Mark and Martha!read more

Upon considering the reviews for this Law Firm I decided to hire them to represent me in a disability case through my employer insurance from the very beginning I felt very comfortable with my new attorney Brenna. She was very polite and professional exercising patience and listening closely to her client we quickly developed a great working relationship they got the respect and results winning my appeal the decision to pay a portion of my money's versus trying to represent my self proved to be a great decision for now and in the future when dealing with this big Insurance Company that intimidates its clients from lack of experience and knowledge I give them five stars with no hesitation thank you so much Fields Law Firmread more

Mark and Martha have absolutely been the best attorney/assistant attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Even after the work was completed, and my claim was closed, thru still worked hard to make sure I was satisfied and never left me hanging to dry. 2 great people I would encourage anyone to work with !read more

Fields law firm was amazing. Very responsive and attentive to all my needs. Easy to get a hold of and get an answer. Brittany and Chase were so friendly and helpful. Always kept in contact with what was happening and what needed to get done. I highly recommend them. I used them to get my LTD back. It took over a year and an IME but I got it back. These things take time and they kept in contact with the process and requesting medical records.read more

Fields Law firm helped me resolve my long term disability denial with Hartford. This was my first time dealing with this, and to be honest, I couldn’t have gotten through it without my paralegal Keann. She was beyond incredible. She listened, and offered encouragement throughout the entire process and most importantly made sure I was understood and validated in all of my fears and concerns. She is truly the best.My attorney Brenna was of the same nature. She made sure she listened and offered much needed advice and clarification when it came to what to expect and what my best options were. She told me she was going to fight as hard as she could for me, and she sure did. I wish I could give them both more than 5 stars… to me they are perfect 10’s! I can never thank them enough!read more

Gloria was so awesome. I used to consider myself intelligent. However, due to circumstances I will not go into here, my ability to speak what I mean and understand what others are saying is super delayed. It feels like speaking a different language. Because of this, phone conversations have been very challenging. Gloria explained things, sometimes over and over until the process was clear. She spoke in terms I could understand. Many of the laws that govern insurance corps are different than what I understood to be true for the twenty plus years I was paying in to my policies.Gloria thank you for your patiences and kindly sharing your knowledge! Grateful that a law firm exists that hires kind, caring and polite attorneys! Thank you Fields Law for valuing human connection not just the payout!read more

Fields Law Firm did a great job handling my disability case. Brenna did a fantastic job negotiating a settlement for me against the insurance company. She did a good job of communicating all aspects of the case with me, even when nothing was happening. She represented me very well and I was impressed by how well she took a hold of my case and got things going after a slow start which was not her fault. I appreciated all that she did for me and I feel like I made a great choice in choosing Fields Law Firm.Thank youread more
