At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen, we assist individuals in Stanton who are unable to work due to a physical or mental health condition. If you are applying for Social Security Disability benefits or appealing a denial, our firm offers over 30 years of experience handling SSDI and SSI claims throughout California. We are here to help you navigate the process with professional guidance and personal support.
SSDI and SSI – Two Federal Disability Programs
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is intended for individuals who have worked and contributed to the Social Security system through payroll taxes. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based program for those with limited income and resources. We help determine which program fits your situation and assist with every step of the application or appeals process.
Common Reasons for Claim Denials
Many initial claims are denied by the Social Security Administration due to:
- Incomplete or inaccurate application forms
- Insufficient medical documentation
- Failure to follow prescribed medical treatment
- Exceeding income or asset limits for SSI
We review your case in detail and identify what went wrong. Then we prepare a stronger appeal backed by the necessary evidence.
What to Expect During the SSD Process
We assist clients in Stanton at every stage of the disability benefits process:
- Initial Application: We prepare and file a complete application with supporting documents.
- Reconsideration: If denied, we file an appeal and provide updated or missing evidence.
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: We represent you at the hearing and help you prepare to testify.
- Further Appeals: If necessary, we continue your case to the Appeals Council or federal court.
We manage all SSA communications and deadlines so you do not have to.
How We Help You
When you work with our firm, you receive:
- A full review of your medical, work, and financial background

Timeline for a Disability Claim
