At the Kenton Koszdin Law Office, we are dedicated to the success of our Bakersfield, CA, clients’ disability applications.

Whether you are newly applying or are challenging an appeal, we are committed to fighting for you from beginning to end.

  • Filing an Application: We bring our years of experience to bear from the initial application process by ensuring that your application is complete and ready for review
  • Filing an Appeal: We also leverage our experience during appeals for denied SSDI and SSI benefits and fight to turn denials into approvals during one of the four stages of the appeals process — reconsideration, hearing, appeals council, and federal court
  • Reconsideration: This is the first level of the appeal process and involves an independent review of the submitted evidence
  • Hearing: If reconsideration results in an affirmation of the denial, we will take your case to a hearing before an administrative law judge
  • Appeals Council: The appeals council is the next step after an affirmation of the denial of benefits at the hearing stage
  • Federal Court: If the appeals council affirms the denial, we can take your case to federal court and argue for an acceptance

Discover the Range of Disability Benefits You May Qualify For

The Social Security Administration offers a range of benefits depending on an applicant’s unique situation. But certain factors may affect eligibility.

Retirement Benefits

You can start receiving retirement benefits as early as 62 years of age if you have an eligible work history. But keep in mind that once you reach full retirement age, your SSDI benefits become retirement benefits.

Divorce Benefits

A divorce will not affect your Social Security disability benefits if you are receiving them based on your personal work record. They may also remain unaffected even if they were based on your spouse’s work record, depending on your circumstances.

Family Benefits

Family members may be eligible to receive benefits based on the work record of one of the spouses, even if they are not disabled. Each member may potentially receive up to 50% of what the disabled spouse receives monthly.

ERISA Benefits

The Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) protects the private pension and healthcare plans provided to workers through their employers. You may be entitled to ERISA benefits if you have experienced a violation of your plan’s provisions.

SSI Benefits

SSI benefits are monthly payments for individuals who have low income and are blind, disabled, or over 65 years of age. Many who do not qualify for SSDI due to a lack of work history can receive SSI benefit payments.
