SSDI and SSI are both federally funded programs designed to provide benefits to the qualifying disabled individual.  SSDI is funded by Social Security taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") or Self-Employment Contributions Act ("SECA").  SSI is funded by the US Treasury's general funds.

An individual filing a SSDI claim must have a medical condition that meets the SSA's definition of disability and have had a sufficient work history to be awarded benefits.  The monthly maximum for SSDI in 2024 is $3,822.00.

Individuals who do not have a sufficient work history may be eligible for SSI when they are either 65 years of age or older, have a qualifying disability or blindness.  The maximum monthly benefit for SSI in 2024 is $943.00 for an individual and $1,415.00 for a couple.

Individuals seeking to apply for benefits can file an application on-line by visiting www.SSA.gov or your local branch office.  Applications generally take 6-8 months to process and can be subject to delays or a denial with incomplete information, non-disclosure of records, non-cooperation, non-attendance at a hearing or appointment or a non-qualifying disability or insufficient earning history.  It is advisable to create a Social Security account to check on your application and/or estimate future benefits.

The company was originally founded as Golding Adjusting in 2010 to provide insurance claim adjusting services to insurance companies and provide first-party representation to policyholders on fire and theft related losses.  In late 2023, the managing director, Gary Golding, decided to take the company in a new direction and successfully passed the Social Security eligible direct payee non-attorney ("EDPNA") exam and is now qualified to provide direct-payee representation to members of the public.
