There are two ways that lawyers or other representatives can be paid for representing a person claiming Social Security disability (SSD) benefits. The first is what is called the fee agreement process whereby you agree with your lawyer that the fee will be 25% of past due SSD benefits up to a maximum fee of $6000. The Social Security Administration will withdraw such amount from your past due benefits if you win and pay it directly to your lawyer. If you do not recover benefits, you do not have to pay your lawyer. The alternative method is that you sign an agreement to pay your lawyer a certain amount to represent you. After your case is over, the lawyer adds up his time spent and sends a petition for the fee based upon that to the Social Security Administration for approval.
