The Benefits You Can Get with Help from Our Disability Lawyers in Michigan
Social Security Disability benefits help you stay on steady ground after major health problems knock your life and livelihood off track.
These benefits last as long as your condition continues to force you out of work and until you reach retirement age, when you switch to regular Social Security retirement benefits.
Here’s what you get with Social Security Disability in Michigan:
Monthly Checks with Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Your payment amount depends in part on your past wages, helping replace lost income. You qualify by paying Social Security taxes when you work. This is not a handout, but a benefit you earned.
Monthly Checks with Supplemental Security Income (SSI): If you have little to no work history and limited financial resources, you may qualify for SSI, which provides a set monthly amount.
Medicare Coverage: If you’re approved for SSDI, you’ll become eligible for Medicare after a waiting period, ensuring you get medical care that you need now more than ever.
Medicaid Coverage: If you qualify for SSI, you automatically receive Medicaid, giving you immediate access to health care services.
When you’re struggling to make ends meet, these benefits are life changing.

What Do You Need to Get Social Security Disability in Michigan?
To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits , you must prove—not just say, but prove with evidence—that you have severe health problems that make it impossible for you to work, and there’s no chance you could return to work in less than a year.
Your application for disability benefits requires special care. A few things can make it stronger. To improve your chances of approval:
- Make It Accurate—Be honest about your condition. Don’t exaggerate, but make sure Social Security understands how your condition seriously impacts your ability to work.
- Be Thorough—Provide all necessary details. This means a lot of details, including doctor’s statements, medical test results, descriptions of the job duties you’re no longer able to perform and more supporting evidence.
- Be Timely—Apply as soon as you realize you can’t work. The sooner you file, the sooner you can secure financial relief and potentially get more back pay for waiting. When you need to appeal a denial, you also face strict deadlines to file your appeal.
- Get Help—Work with a disability attorney in Michigan to ensure your application meets all the requirements, so you can rest easier knowing it’s being well taken care of.
Having a skilled Michigan disability lawyer means you have someone who understands what Social Security is looking for, knows what details to emphasize, and ensures your claim is as strong as possible.
