Government Benefits

Helping West Michigan Secure Their Benefits

Government benefits are not handouts. They are social investments you have made throughout your life to ensure that you receive proper aid and compensation when you need it.

Unfortunately, approval and maintenance of benefits such as veteran’s disabilities and Social Security can involve adjusting to ever-changing laws and regulations. At Reeder Plachta Murphy, our government benefit attorneys are committed to using their years of knowledge, experience, and skills to deal with red tape and ensure our clients receive the support they deserve.

We highly recommend planning for and securing benefits as soon as possible to help reduce the chances of complications delaying or interrupting compensation. We’ll take care of the representation and paperwork, keeping it simple for you.

Protecting Your Public Benefits

We provide legal services concerning a wide range of benefits, including:

Social Security

Helping clients ensure they receive proper Social Security benefits if they are eligible through retirement or disability. We assist clients who are applying for the first time as well as those who have had their initial application denied (which is not uncommon).

Veterans Disability and Related Benefits

Anyone who honorably served our country in the military should receive everything they are entitled to for the sake of both themselves and their families. We guide veterans through the bureaucracy of Veterans Affairs, helping you understand your legal rights and effectively present your case.

Medicare and Medicaid

We simplify the application process for Medicaid and Medicare. We also plan for the future to ensure their benefits remain updated without any delays or interruptions.
