Frequently Asked Questions

No. This website is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the Social Security Administration (SSA). We are a third-party screening tool. The SSA does not endorse or recommend our service.

No. We do NOT guarantee eligibility or that you will receive benefits. Our tool provides an assessment based on publicly available SSA criteria. Only the SSA can make final eligibility determinations. Your actual eligibility depends on a complete medical evaluation, work history verification, and SSA's assessment of your specific circumstances.

No. This website does NOT provide legal advice. We are not lawyers. If you need legal advice about your disability claim, you should consult with a qualified disability attorney or representative licensed to practice in your state.

Our tool scores your answers based on publicly available SSA disability criteria, including age, work status, earnings, medical condition, condition duration, functional impact, and medical records. The score ranges from 0-100, and we assign a tier (high, medium, low, or insufficient) based on your score. This is an informational assessment only.

High (75-100): You may meet several key screening criteria. Medium (50-74): You may meet some screening criteria. Low (25-49): You may meet limited screening criteria. Insufficient (0-24): Based on your answers, you may not meet common SSA criteria at this time. These are screening assessments only, not eligibility determinations.

Yes, if your screening results suggest you may qualify for benefits and you have consented to contact, your information may be shared with participating attorneys. These attorneys are required to maintain confidentiality and use your information only to evaluate your potential claim. You can opt out of lead sharing at any time.

Attorneys will contact you using the methods you consented to during the screening process (phone, text, or email). You can withdraw your consent at any time by replying 'STOP' to texts, clicking unsubscribe in emails, or contacting us directly.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption and secure storage. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Please review our Privacy Policy for more details.

You'll need to provide your contact information (name, email, phone), age, work status, earnings, medical condition, how long you've had your condition, how it affects your daily activities, and your medical records history. The screening takes about 5-10 minutes.

Yes. You can apply directly with the SSA for SSDI or SSI benefits. Visit SSA.gov or go to your local Social Security office. You can also work with a disability representative. Our screening tool is optional and designed to help you understand your situation.

SSA disability decisions typically take 3-6 months, but can take longer in some cases. If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. The appeals process can take additional months or years.

If the SSA denies your claim, you have the right to appeal. You have 60 days from the date of the denial notice to request an appeal. You can appeal through reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, or further appeals. An attorney can help guide you through the appeals process.

No. You can apply for disability benefits on your own. However, many people find it helpful to work with an experienced disability attorney or representative who can help gather medical evidence, prepare your application, and represent you at hearings.

Disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The fee is typically 25% of your back pay, up to a maximum set by the SSA. There are no upfront costs to you.

SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is based on your work history and Social Security contributions. SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. You may qualify for one, both, or neither depending on your circumstances.

SSDI and SSI have work incentives that allow you to work and earn some income while receiving benefits. There are limits on how much you can earn. Visit SSA.gov for details on work incentive programs.
