APPLYING FOR SOCIAL
SECURITY BENEFITS
WHY YOU
NEED
REPRESENTATION
FOR SSD/SSI
APPEAL
Obtaining government
benefits is typically a
difficult process whichever
state you live in. Michigan
is a good example of how
many hoops you have to
jump through in order to
receive SSD/SSI
government benefits. Both
programs benefit disabled
individuals with an amount
of money and a form of
insurance, but Social
Security Disability (SSD) is
intended for people who
have earned “work credits”
before becoming disabled.
Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), in contrast,
is for disabled individuals
who may never have been
able to work and have
significantly limited
resources with little or
no income.
In Michigan, nearly 5
percent of the state’s six
million residents receive
SSD and 50,000 more
Michigan residents are
waiting in line for their
cases to be evaluated. The
reason for the backlog is
that 65 percent of initial
disability claims are
denied by Michigan Social
Security Offices. If you are
either beginning the
application process or
already in the trenches of
an appeal awaiting a
hearing date, Georgoulis
Disability Group, located
in Troy, is here to help.

ADVANTAGES
OF HIRING OUR
FIRM
Dealing with large
government agencies like
the Social Security
Administration (SSA) is
frustrating at the best of
times. When suffering
from a major disability due
to a congenital defect,
injury or disease and/or
dealing with financial
distress, the paperwork
and phone calls needed
can be absolutely
overwhelming. From our
many years of experience
in the field strictly
specializing in disability
benefits, we are well aware
that it can sometimes feel
as if the government is
trying to save money by
putting people through
the maze of bureaucracy
to get to the needed funds
and assistance.
Each of our disability
advocates have an in-
depth, comprehensive
understanding of the way
disability law works. We
know what is needed to
shortcut and streamline
the seemingly endless
process. We will take as
much of the burden off
your shoulders as we can
by assisting you in
completing the many
necessary forms and
gathering the relevant
medical, employment, and
financial records.
Georgoulis Disability Group
will help you throughout
every stage from the
application through
appeals and in court. Our
advocates have a track
record for success and
have received countless
awards for our work in
the courtroom and in the
community.
More than that, we are
dedicated to giving you
personal attention and to
being responsive to your
questions and concerns.
The last thing you should
have to worry about is how
your case is being handled
behind the scenes and to
feel out of the loop about
the process. Your focus
should be on your health,
treatment, and your family
