John P. Young has been practicing Social Security Disability law for more than 22 years. Mr. Young started representing injured Hoosiers before the Social Security Administration as part of his overall practice, which is devoted exclusively to representing Hoosiers seriously injured in accidents, whether they be car accidents, truck accidents, drunk driving accidents, construction accidents, motorcycle accidents, and any other type of accident caused by another’s negligence. As Mr. Young represents only those seriously injured by the negligence of others, it was a logical extension of his practice to represent those clients before the Social Security Administration. Often times Hoosiers injured in these types of accidents are rendered disabled.

SSI Questions One of the recurring issues Mr. Young discusses with every person making application to the Social Security Administration is the difference between Title II Disability and Title XVI SSI. Title II benefits are available to those who have worked and paid FICA taxes. If a working Hoosier has been working and paying the FICA tax for the five years before their injury, they are entitled to apply for Title II Disability. Title II Disability pays more and has fewer economic restrictions. Title XVI SSI is essentially welfare. It is available to persons who are disabled but have not worked and paid into the FICA tax. There are many restrictions on the amount a person may be entitled to if they are entitled to SSI. One such restriction is whether the person is married and how much money their spouse earns. If the spouse earns over a certain amount, the disabled person will receive no funds from SSI. In a few cases the disabled Hoosier may be entitled to both Title II Disability and Title XVI SSI. Each case is different.

If you have been seriously injured call John P. Young and his partners for a free consultation. Mr. Young guarantees there will be no fee unless fair compensation can be obtained for you. If your injury has left you disabled, Mr. Young will advise you on the application process for Social Security Disability or SSI.
