With decades of experience in disability law, Polly Murphy helps clients throughout southern Oklahoma make a strong case to the Social Security Administration.
What Types of Disability Cases Do We Handle?
SSDI – Social Security Disability Insurance
This is for people who have paid into the system through payroll taxes over the years. If you’ve worked and earned enough credits, you may qualify for SSDI—regardless of your income.
What You Should Know About SSDI:
- Benefits are based on your work history and earnings.
- Even if you're no longer working, your work credits may still qualify you.
- Children and spouses of disabled workers may receive benefits, too.
- SSDI isn’t just for retirement—it’s for
serious medical conditions that impact your ability to work.
SSI – Supplemental Security Income
This program helps those who are disabled and have very limited income or resources. You don’t need to have a work history to qualify.
Key Facts About SSI:
- You must meet strict income and asset limits.
- Your condition must meet the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability.
- SSI benefits are available for children with disabilities as well.
- You must
apply—benefits are not automatically granted.
