Our fees are set by federal law and paid by the Social Security Administration out of any award of back benefits. The fee is 25% of the back benefits up to a maximum of $6000, whichever is less. Additionally, it is a contingent fee, which means unless we obtain a favorable outcome, you owe us nothing. We do not ask our clients to reimburse any costs associated with the claim. We understand you need that money for more important things.

When will my benefits start coming?

Before I called Chihak & Gustad, I had given up all hope I would receive my Social Security DisabilityAn impairment that qualifies as a disability under Social Security Administration (SSA) guidelines must be quite serious. The impairment must render the applicant unable to perform any substantial gainful activity — that is, the applicant must not be able to earn more than a minimum amount of money, determined each year by the SSA. The impairment must completely disable the applicant from working. It must be expected to last for a year, have already lasted a year or be expected to cause the applicant's death. But this is not the end of the qualifying tests.. I had no money and many bills to pay. After my first phone conversation with Mr. Chihak, I felt confident I had called the right attorney. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Within a few months, my claim was approved. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the job Mr. Chihak and his staff did for me.
