Navigating the complexities of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding legal and representation fees. At Sage Disability, we believe in transparency and clarity in how these fees are structured and paid.
How Are Representatives’ Fees Figured Out?
Representatives’ fees in Social Security disability cases are typically based on a contingency fee agreement. This means that the fee is contingent upon winning your case. The fee is generally capped at 25% of any back pay owed to you, up to a maximum amount set by law.
How Are Fees Paid?
If your case is successful and you are awarded back pay, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will withhold the representative’s fee from your back pay before issuing your benefits. This means you don’t have to worry about paying upfront costs for legal representation.
What If There Is No Back Pay?
If your case does not result in any back pay owed to you, there is typically no fee owed to the representative. This ensures that you do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses for legal fees if your case is not successful in securing back pay.
