    WORRIED ABOUT THE COSTS WITH BRINGING A CASE TO FEDERAL COURT?   WE CAN HELP!

    Costs:   You will have no initial cost associated with filing the case in federal court if we represent you.  A filing fee is normally required at federal court.  However, we will seek an order that allows this to be waived if you are unable to afford the fee.  A federal judge or magistrate determines whether you satisfy the waiver requirements.  And, in an effort to eliminate any cost barriers for you, should you not satisfy the requirements for waiver, we will advance the filing fee provided we represent you in the federal case. 

    Fees:  There are no attorney fees unless we win your case.  For federal court work, the fees are usually paid by the government.  They are called Equal Access to Justice Act fees and do not come out of your past-due benefits.  There is an additional potential fee that could occur when the case is reversed completely.  And this possible fee would be a portion of past-due benefits to which you are entitled.  Please note if you came to Linerud Law Firm by way of a referral from a another attorney who represented you previously, this fee may be waived by Linerud so your prior attorney could seek this fee if they chose to do so.  In short, Linerud Law Firm will not ask you to pay an attorney fee if not authorized by the Social Security Administration and/or Federal Court.  For a full explanation of how the fee process works and the different possibilities involving fees, please contact our office.  (Please see Appeals Council and Federal Court tabs on the menu for more detailed discussion about the process at the Appeals Council and Federal Court). 

    IS IT BETTER TO FILE A NEW CLAIM OR APPEAL THE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE OR APPEALS COUNCIL DENIAL?   ITEMS TO CONSIDER:

    People often elect to file a new claim after an Administrative Law Judge or Appeals Council denial, but there are substantial reasons why they should appeal:

    1. A new claim typically begins a new timeline for benefits.  By not appealing the prior denial, this will usually result in losing a substantial amount of past due-benefits.  Essentially all the time waiting for your prior claim to be processed and ultimately denied would be lost.  For this reason, it is critical that you consider remaining persistent in your claim for the full amount of benefits.  With an appeal to federal court, you ensure the original application and disability dates will be used when calculating your past-due benefits in their entirety; and
    2. When a new claim is filed rather than appealing, there may be a presumption that you are not disabled as found by the Administrative Law Judge or Appeals Council.  This presumption can be overcome but it can create an additional issue that would need to be addressed in your next claim.  In some cases, this presumption can be a significant barrier to obtaining benefits.   (Please see Appeals Council and Federal Court tabs on the menu for more detailed discussion about the process at the Appeals Council and Federal Court).
