Can My Wife Receive My Disability Benefits?

The SSDI program pays family benefits to eligible spouses and children of disabled workers. Your husband or wife may receive up to 50% of your monthly SSDI payment in spousal benefits. If you have children, they can also receive a dependent benefit. Each family can receive no more than 150%-180% of your individual monthly SSDI payment in total benefits. These same rules apply to same-sex married couples and their eligible children.

How to Appeal After Your Disability Claim's Denial

Once you stop working for 60 months, your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) coverage automatically ends. That means the longer you wait, the less likely you are to get benefits when you apply. People who file on their own without legal help typically don't get benefits without multiple court appeals and a 2-3 year wait. A disability attorney filing your claim makes you 2.9x more likely to receive benefit approval in 6 months or less. If you don't win, then you pay no legal fees...

What We Do

Step 1: Answer A Few Short Questions

Your answers tell us important things that may automatically disqualify you from getting disability payments. That way, you don't waste time filling out tons of claim paperwork or pay for expensive copies of medical records you don't need. We also need to know if you already have an attorney or advocate helping you with your claim. Why? Because if you do, then the lawyers in our network would not want to break the contract you already signed with another firm. It's unethical to give legal advice to another attorney's existing client – namely, you.

Step 2: Tell Us Where You Live and What Number to Call During Weekdays

We use your current ZIP code to match you with a nearby disability attorney who can help you right away. Then, we give that SSD lawyer your name, phone number, and email address. Your matched attorney will call soon during business hours to discuss your potential SSD claim. We'll also email you your matched attorney's name, address, phone number, and other relevant contact information. Can't find the email we sent after submitting your evaluation? Be sure to your email junk and spam folders.

Step 3: Keep Your Phone Handy and Answer When It Rings

This free, no-obligation phone call is a required step to complete your free claim evaluation. Please only provide a phone number where we can reach you during normal weekday business hours. Your online evaluation isn't enough to know whether you truly qualify for disability benefits, which program might approve you, or a monthly pay amount. The disability attorney may also wish to review your medical records or other required documentation in person. Both your phone call and in-person meeting are 100% free, confidential, and won't obligate you to do anything else. If your evaluation begins on a holiday, weekend or after 5pm, then your phone won't ring until the next business day.
