Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, for a certain period of time and according to guidelines set out by the Social Security Administration (SSA). If you receive SSDI benefits and return to work, you must notify the SSA. You may be eligible for a work incentive program, such as the Trial Work Program, which allows you to work for nine months within a five-year period to test whether you can work, while still receiving full benefits. In the Trial Work Program, once you have worked for nine months within a five-year period engaging in substantial gainful activity, your SSDI benefits will stop. There may be other work incentive programs available to you, which you can discuss with an attorney.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is for workers who have become disabled and have a very low income. Eligibility requirements for SSI are similar to Social Security Disability (SSD). The main difference is that you must submit documentation of your low income instead of your employment history. Also, the federal government funds SSI, while deductions from employee paychecks fund disability insurance.
To receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you must first fill out an application. You can complete the application on SSA's website (ssa.gov). To strengthen your claim and increase your chances of your claim being approved, we recommend speaking with a qualified Social Security disability lawyer at Grimes Teich Anderson.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.
