You worked hard for your benefits, and you deserve the ones that are coming to you.
Understanding the steps to take to properly apply for the benefits you deserve can be a very daunting task. Benefit laws are extremely complex and wide-reaching, and if you are not well versed in these laws, you could be left cutting through the red tape when the benefits process is blocked or stalled.
If you’re being denied benefits that rightfully belong to you, or you just don’t know how to start applying for benefits, we can help you sort things out and get you what you’re entitled to.
- VA Benefits: If you are now serving our country in any branch of the military, including the National Guard and Reserve, or have served and are now retired, you may be eligible for VA benefits. There are many possible benefits available to you as a veteran, including educational benefits to help pay for school or training, a Certificate of Eligibility for a home loan, life insurance, and disability benefits. You deserve full compensation for your service.
- Social Security: Typically known as retirement benefits, Social Security also provides benefits to survivors, and income to people who become disabled. If you worked for years and paid your taxes, you paid into Social Security.
- Workers Compensation: This is a benefit to provide compensation to workers who become disabled in a workplace injury. The state of Michigan does not typically pay these benefits; they are provided by most employers through private insurance the company pays. If you’re hurt in the workplace, report it to your employer right away. You should receive benefits the day you’re injured. If your employer doesn’t put in a claim for you, filing form WC-117 may be necessary. If your claim is denied or disputed for some reason, a form WC-104A may need to be filed. We can help determine what form to file and assist in filing it, as well as answer any questions you may have about what you are entitled to.
You deserve your benefits, and we can help you get them.
