Mr. Feingold was recommended to me by an acquaintance and helped me through all stages of filing for my disability, with recommendations and reviews and walkthroughs of documents before submitting to the SSA & ultimately helped me to a successful awarding of benefits. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

I called Richard after being disabled for over a year & receiving an initial denial. I was scared, in pain, bedridden & severely lacked sufficient income to cover basic survival needs. He was able to help me swiftly resolve my case by listening to my reality, gathering the necessary evidence and capturing it in a well crafted hardship letter to request a “dire need flag” be placed on my case in late May 2025 I was granted that DN flag which then expedited my case & I received my benifet approval and had my lump sum in back pay in hand by end of July If you're disabled but have been unable to receive your rightfully due benefits on your own, I highly recommend entrusting Richard with your case. Thank you Richard for listening to my needs, understanding the gravity of my circumstances and delivering me my benefits approval at critical point in my life.Posted on Google![]()

During my SSI application process, I was turned down. Had it not been for the representation of attorney Richard Feingold, I wouldn’t be able to successfully receive SSI benefits. He was very instrumental in fighting for my rights. He is very detail oriented individual and the best in this field. I commend you sir and recommend you for the defense of the disabled who are not able to defend themselves. (this message was obtained with the help of my family members).Posted on Google![]()

“I highly recommend Richard and their team for anyone needing help with SSI/disability benefits. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain the process to me. They kept me informed, answered my questions, and truly cared about my case. Going through SSI can be stressful, but they made me feel supported and confident every step of the way. I’m very grateful for their hard work and dedication, and I appreciate everything they did to help me. Thank you for fighting for me!”Posted on Google![]()

I’m very grateful for the support my disability lawyer provided throughout my case. He was responsive from the start, gathered all my medical records from multiple hospitals, and kept me updated every step of the way. He made sure I understood what was happening and prepared me well for the court proceedings, which helped ease my stress. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, my case was successful. I highly recommend him.Posted on Google![]()

Yes. You can work while applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, but working may affect your eligibility for benefits.
Social Security looks at whether your work activity is considered Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). If your countable earnings or work activity are above the current SGA limit, Social Security may determine that you are not disabled.
The rules can be complicated. Social Security does not simply look at your paycheck. Different rules may apply depending on:
SSI has additional income and resource rules that are different from SSDI. In some SSI cases, even part-time work or financial support from others can affect monthly payments.
Social Security also has different work rules for people who are already receiving benefits, including trial work periods and other work incentives. Those rules are separate from the rules that apply during the application process.
Working while applying for disability benefits does not automatically disqualify you. Many people attempt part-time work because of financial necessity while still having serious medical limitations.
Because work activity can significantly affect a disability claim, it is important to speak with an experienced Social Security Disability attorney about your specific situation before returning to work or continuing employment during the disability process.
