Terms of use

Free data, honest limits, and no claim to be your lawyer.

AISSDI publishes SSA public data and free tools built on it. These terms say what those numbers are, what the case-review form does, and where our responsibility ends.

Last updated August 18, 2026

§ I

Not legal advice, and not a law firm

AISSDI publishes data and free tools about Social Security Disability claims. It is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not give legal advice. Reading this site, running an estimate, or submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship with AISSDI or with anyone operating it.

We do not review your claim, draw legal conclusions about it, or apply the law to your circumstances. If you need advice about your own case, talk to a disability attorney or advocate.

§ II

What the numbers are

Every figure on this site comes from the Social Security Administration’s public datasets, refreshed on a quarterly cadence. The data currently published is as of June 2026, which is stated in the footer of every page.

The Approval-Odds Estimator reports historical aggregate base rates — national allowance rates by stage, and state DDS favorable rates — for claims that share the characteristics you selected. It is not a prediction of any individual outcome. An actual claim turns on the medical evidence and the specific record, and no base rate can see either.

Judge and hearing-office pages report what SSA published about past decisions. They are not a forecast of how any judge will decide any future case, and nothing on them should be read as a comment on a judge’s character or competence. Where the underlying counts are too small to support a rate, we say so rather than print one.

We correct errors when we find them and when they are reported to us. If a figure here contradicts SSA’s own publication, SSA is right and we are wrong — tell us and we will fix it.

§ III

The free case review

Some pages offer to connect you with a disability attorney or advocate. That form is the only place this site collects your name and phone number, and it is opt-in: you check a consent box that says, in full, what you are agreeing to before anything is submitted.

What you are agreeing to is contact — by phone, autodialer, prerecorded or artificial voice, SMS and email — from AISSDI and from one or more attorneys or advocates in its network, about your potential claim. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service, message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP at any time.

AISSDI does not recommend a particular attorney, rank them, or claim any of them is best for your case. It connects; the choice is yours, and you are free to hire anyone or no one. AISSDI is paid by the firms it works with, not by you — the tools on this site are free to use and always will be.

§ IV

The attorney and firm tools

The lead-scoring tools, the market-opportunity views and the embeddable estimator are offered to law firms and advocates. Access to the firm API is authenticated and rate-limited, and each firm’s data is scoped to that firm.

If you embed the estimator on your own site, you may not remove or obscure its source and disclaimer lines. The estimate must remain identifiable as an estimate built on SSA public data, wherever it appears.

Do not scrape, bulk-download or resell this site’s pages or data as a dataset. The underlying SSA datasets are public and you are welcome to go get them at the source; what is published here is our work of assembling, cleaning and presenting them.

§ V

Not the Social Security Administration

AISSDI is an independent project. It is not SSA, is not affiliated with or endorsed by SSA, and cannot file, check, expedite or decide a claim. SSA’s own services are at ssa.gov, and they are free.

Nothing here should delay you in dealing directly with SSA, particularly where a deadline is involved. The deadline calculator on this site is a convenience, not a legal determination — check the date on your own notice.

§ VI

Your responsibility, and the limits of ours

You are responsible for the accuracy of anything you enter, for the decisions you make about your own claim, and for meeting your own deadlines. The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, and we do not promise it will be available, complete or error-free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, AISSDI and its operators are not liable for any damages arising from use of this site or reliance on anything published on it, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive.

These terms are governed by the law of the State of New York. If any part of them is unenforceable, the rest still stands.

§ VII

Changes

We update this page when the site changes what it does, and the date at the top says when it last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the version then posted.

How we handle information is described separately, in the Privacy Policy.
