Our Social Security Disability Lawyers Explain Contingency Fees

How Social Security Disability Lawyers Fees Work

Generally, Social Security Disability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which the Social Security Disability Administration regulates. This means that your lawyer receives attorney fees if he or she recovered financial compensation for you. Contingency fees enable people who would otherwise not be able to afford an attorney to hire an experienced lawyer to handle their Social Security Disability application or appeal.

In addition, there are laws specific to SSDI attorney fees that cap these fees, ensuring they remain very low. Under the law:

• The Social Security Administration (SSA) must approve attorneys’ contingency fees. Also, it only pays the fees from past-due benefits, not current monthly payments.
• Social Security Disability lawyers fees cannot exceed 25 percent of the back pay benefits recovered for clients or $6,000, whichever is less.
• The SSA pays attorney fees directly to the law firm from the past-due benefits awarded.
• SSD attorneys are not entitled to fees for future benefits. Thus, you keep 100 percent of any SSDI payments you receive beyond your initial payment.
