The Social Security Administration (SSA) must approve attorneys’ contingency fees and only pays the fees from past-due benefits, not current monthly payments.
Social Security Disability lawyers fees cannot exceed 25 percent of the back pay benefits recovered for clients or $6,000, whichever is less.
The SSA pays attorney fees directly to the law firm from the past-due benefits awarded.
SSD attorneys are not entitled to fees for future benefits, so you keep 100 percent of any SSDI payments you receive beyond your initial payment.
In most cases the client is paid fees directly from Social Security Administration
