The SSA does not impose any costs on claimants for the filing or pursuit of your claim for any type of benefits. If you hire a firm or representative to help you, they will have their own policies concerning what expenses and costs you are responsible for. Our fee for services is paid directly by the SSA out of our client’s back benefits at a set rate determined by the federal government. We cover all of the costs concerning postage, copy fees, etc. as our gift to a client for choosing our firm. You will never receive a bill from us for these types of costs. We like to think of this policy as our way of alleviating one more of the many worries of our valued clients.
