Social Security Law Information

Social Security Law Information

The complicated procedures of Social Security law involve a lot of attention to detail, very strict rules, and filling out complex forms to name just a few. One would think that in order to qualify for Social Security benefits, you would just have to show them that you have a debilitating condition and that would be that. And for some, that might be true, but for most, it involves much more work which could be challenging and overwhelming, especially if you’re dealing with a chronic illness.

Although everyone has a right to represent themselves and even begin the process of applying for Disability benefits, people tend to have a lot of assumptions about what to expect and whether they need an attorney or not. Social Security law allows you to hire a Representative on your case to assist you and have a limited kind of power of attorney on your claim. This means, with the appropriate kind of paperwork, your Attorney can access medical records on your behalf to benefit the claim, make calls to the Social Security office for you, and a few other things. Social Security even has restrictions in place that don’t allow your Attorney Rep to charge more than 25% of your back payments. These are some examples of the protections you have if you’re not sure about hiring an Attorney.

There are also plenty of reasons why having a professional, knowledgeable, and experienced law firm on your case can be of great benefit to you. Filing an application online is relatively straightforward but could have a few questions and statements that some people don’t realize could be referred to again in the future. Social Security law will make it so officers on the SSA offices have to follow up on all the things you state on the application, from the facilities you receive treatment at, to the jobs you have had throughout the years. Certain details can be used against you, and some can help the case a lot as long as you remember to tell them. An Attorney is always aware of the things that can help strengthen a case, and we will be sure to remind you of what that is so we can also ensure Social Security knows what these details are and to follow up on them.

Gold Country Worker’s Comp Center will be there to fight for your benefits alongside you so you could have both the support and expertise from a law firm and ensure your case gets won. We can give you a free consultation and begin assisting you right away, so please call us at 530-362-7188.

Social Security lawyers can be a great tool and support system in the disability application process. Every US citizen that works (NOT under the table and provided all federal taxes are paid on the income) is entitled to Social Security benefits. In fact, you pay into these Social Security funds from every paycheck if not nearly every paycheck. On regular circumstances, one would need to be of retirement age to access these funds, but if you are in the unfortunate situation of becoming disabled and can no longer provide for yourself or your family, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits even if you’re not at retirement age yet.

These benefits are called Social Security Disability Insurance (or SSDI) and you are entitled to them if you have enough work credits after working for a certain period of time (which normally could equate to 5 years or more). This means that if you have been working full time for more than 5 or so years, and you develop a disability that keeps you from working, you will most likely qualify for this program.

On the other hand, some people were born with debilitating illnesses or developed them from a young age, or incurred without having attained the needed work credits, so they would need to apply for a supplemental program called Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) if they are under 18 or otherwise didn’t work long enough under Social Security rules.

As you can tell, this is a lot of terminology and information to learn and understand the significance of in one sitting, which is why Social Security lawyers are there to be not only a helping hand but a knowledgeable one in these difficult times for you. You can call some attorneys, like Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center, for a free consultation in case you are not even sure what rights you have and if you are eligible, and once your questions are answered, we can start the process of seeing what it takes to actually win your claim.

For example, Social Security lawyers can determine what is in your best interest and what to look out for depending on which part of the process you are in. On average, a claim could take several months, but the quicker we act, the quicker we can get a decision.

If you’re worried about payment, Social Security will actually not allow us to be paid our fee until we win your case. Once approved, they set aside 25% of the lump sum of back-due payments you receive, so there is no up front cost to you!

We understand this time might be confusing and frustrating, but the sooner we can consult your options with you, the sooner we can get you the benefits you deserve. Call us at

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation Specialist in Roseville

Workers’ Compensation with Gold Country

You never know when you are going to need Workers’ Compensation benefits after having an accident at work. In fact, there are many ways you can suffer an accident at the workplace, and it can happen at a moment’s notice or over time (even over years) with stress and strain on a given body part sort of piling up until it becomes a real injury requiring treatment or even time off work.

You can encounter a slippery surface, might find that you need to climb a ladder for something, or someone left an obstructive object in the way of your regular path, or that you are injured just day-to-day doing your regular job.  So you could slip and/or fall, and everyone at one time or another, trips on their own feet, or loses their footing, but some falls can result in serious injuries. Heavy lifting is a requirement in some jobs or an irregular occurrence in other jobs, but regardless, one misstep or misjudgment of the weight and you can suffer a back, neck, or shoulder injury.

In more rare cases, you could be hit by a falling object, and this usually can happen in a warehouse-type environment, but if something is stored inadequately it can happen anywhere. Similarly, warehouses and businesses that work out of the back or stock rooms may operate forklifts or small vehicles. Operating them without proper training is dangerous as it is, but collisions could happen, and they’re not always without consequence.

Other kinds of work-related accidents involve cuts and lacerations, inhaling toxic fumes, exposure to loud/deafening noise, walking into objects, or even fights at work.  (So long as you are not the initial aggressor, injuries from a fight are compensable by Workers’ Comp.)

Circumstances need to be proven for an incident resulting from employment or “work-related” activity. This could mean different things depending on each claim and many of these injuries involve establishing liability against third parties responsible for providing an extra source of recovery for the injured worker.

So, if you have been involved in one of these accidents, how can a law firm help you with a Workers’ Compensation claim? If you get an attorney involved as early as possible, they can help you file the appropriate claims that best suit your situation. There are claims you can file that could provide protection to an injured worker from harassment, and a presence of an attorney for your Workers’ Compensation can give the employer or insurance company another reason to follow the law.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a law firm dedicated to assisting injured workers and disabled people. The law and regulations are always changing, and we are prepared to adapt as necessary, so our clients are not left guessing what the next step is. This process can be overwhelming and frustrating, but we want to get you the compensation you deserve. Call us toll-free at 877-233-8399.

Help Sue for Workers Comp Damages

Social Security law firm – GCWC

It might be time to call a Social Security law firm if you are met with the unfortunate circumstance of not being able to perform your duties at work. Early intervention works, so you should never wait to get legal help or find out if you are entitled to any disability benefits. If you are out of work and can no longer perform as you used to, normally for people this means they suffered a life-altering injury or have developed underlying medical or psychological problems that were recently escalated. Our team at Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is here to help you through the process of not only applying but being there every step of the way with you.

The Social Security Administration offers a disability program to most American citizens who meet certain requirements. The two programs are Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI) and the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI). Respectively, these programs are offered to Americans who have accumulated enough work credits or otherwise fall under a certain income level, but qualify as disabled under the SSA’s definition.

While tedious, applying for disability benefits is often pretty straight forward, and you can even do most of it online, but once the application is filed and processed, Social Security will begin to ask a lot of questions and will request a lot of follow-up information. Often times the beginning stages involve being denied which means claimants end up feeling very defeated. Every claim, no matter what the ailment is, requires enough evidence to support it. A Social Security law firm can help gather the information needed to prove you are unable to work for at least twelve months and determine you will not be able to return to work either.  If you claim for disability is denied by the SSA, you MUST appeal within 60 days or your rights will be seriously impaired.  You MUST be persistent.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a Social Security law firm that will help answer all your questions and make the process go as smoothly as possible, knowing the best people are working on your case. Our attorneys have worked many years aiding claimants with their disability cases, as we are aware of Social Security’s deadlines, their proceedings, and rules, which most people don’t know when they apply for benefits.

There’s no better time like the present, and you don’t need to wait to file a claim. We will make sure to use this time efficiently to get you the help you need and deserve, so no matter what the case may be, make sure to contact Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center as soon as possible. Contact our office for a free consultation or referral at 530-362-7188 or toll-free at 877-233-8399.

Disability Law Firm Services

If a medical condition limits your ability to work, there is no better time than the present to call a disability law firm. There are many ways to help you depending on what caused your disability. Although some conditions might have developed over time or from an early age, if you were injured at work, if severe enough, it could turn into long-term issues with the need for long term financial support.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a very trusted and reliable disability law firm that can help you regain your lost wages and compensation if you suffered an injury while “on the clock.”  Workers’ Comp benefits are available for specific injuries, like falling or lifting too much, OR that result from micro day-to-day trauma on any body part that eventually develops to the point of needing to seek medical care or take time off.  We can help you file the appropriate forms and guide you through the possibly lengthy process. While this is going on, you might also qualify for other programs as well. In fact, if you are still employed there might already be benefits offered to you by your employer you might not have been aware about. We can also help determine if you qualify for a private insurance policy, as the definition of “disabled” varies and might involve some measures to be sure you are eligible.

A PIECE OF ADVICE:  DO NOT MISS WORK FOR MEDICAL REASONS WITHOUT A DOCTOR’s REPORT SUPPORTING THE NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF TO PURSUE MEDICAL TREATMENT!  Disability benefit programs all require medical evidence in support of whatever benefit is being pursued.

When it comes to California residents, there’s a small percentage of every employee’s paycheck that is deducted and paid into a special disability insurance fund. If you cannot perform your regular work duties and suddenly find yourself out of work due to your conditions and you are not receiving any other type of comparable benefits, then you might be eligible to receive these funds.

Of course, if you do not meet certain disability requirements or cannot substantiate these claims, do not worry, as there are still a few programs available to all Americans that can help you while you’re dealing with your illnesses and being without an income. SNAP benefits will help you if you have a low income, TANF (temporary assistance for needy families), a program that also benefits low-income families, and Unemployment benefits provide assistance if you are involuntarily unemployed but are still seeking employment in the near future. Some of these are rather temporary, but can surely help you. It’s not easy navigating all of the different requirements for these programs, which is why a disability law firm can be there to guide you and meet the appropriate deadlines for all of them.

No matter the issue you are facing, we are certainly here to help you. Call Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center at our toll-free number 877-233-8399 or (530) 362 7188 for a free consultation today. Early intervention works, so do not hesitate to pick up the phone even if you have a few questions.  Getting an early understanding of the possible benefits available to those with medical conditions that interfere with work is very important.  We will help you through this transition and relieve any insecurities.
