About Franklin Disability

---

SSDI is a federal insurance program that provides benefits to people who have a disability and have earned enough work credits, while SSI is a federal program that provides financial assistance to people who have a disability and low income.

The time it takes to get approved for disability benefits can vary based on a number of factors, but it typically takes between three to five months to get a decision on your initial application.

Yes, you can work while receiving disability benefits, but there are limits to how much you can earn without affecting your benefits.

There are many reasons why claims are denied, but it's important to remember that most claims are denied, especially at the first two levels of the process. Nationwide, less than 40% are approved at the initial level, and only 15% at the second level. Having a representative has been shown to dramatically improve those odds.
