Practice Overview

Immediate Social Security Help Throughout Nebraska

Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are both government provided programs to help people who are unable to work because of physical or mental medical conditions.

Although many people think they may qualify to receive benefits because they are mentally or physically disabled, actually receiving the benefits can be a lengthy struggle. I am Brett McArthur, attorney at law, and I help clients in Lincoln and throughout the State of Nebraska obtain Social Security disability benefits. Contact me online or call 402-421-8333 to schedule your free initial consultation.

Understanding the Difference Between SSDI and SSI

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) offers financial assistance to people who have been working most of their life, but, because of a medical condition, have been unable to work for at least 12 months.

Conversely, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a need-based program, and financial assistance is not based on how much you have worked. Many people who qualify for SSI have been unable to work their entire lives because of a physical or mental disability.

Why Hire a Lawyer

Every client I meet has a unique story and unique concerns; however, my clients' stories have a few common themes:

  • You do not know why your initial claim was denied
  • Your current financial situation is frustrating
  • You need answers quickly

From the first time you contact me until your case is closed, I will work closely with you. I will explain the legal process in terms you can understand, and I will answer any questions you have about your situation.

I will always keep you informed about the progress of your case. My clients are never left wondering if the status of their case has changed. I frequently check in with my clients to keep them updated. Even if your case has not made significant progress in a few weeks, I am available to talk with you about your case. 

To schedule a free initial consultation, contact me online or call 402-421-8333. We will begin working immediately to find a solution to your problem.
