SSDI leads are sold one firm per claimant, and the claimant is defined by a short eligibility screen.
12 of the 24 SSDI companies in our directory say each lead goes to one firm only, and the screen they publish barely changes from site to site: not represented, seeing a doctor, out of work long term, not on benefits, within an older working-age band.
SSDI is a disability law firm market built on exclusivity. 19 of the 24 SSDI companies in our directory offer exclusive leads, 12 say a lead goes to one firm only, and only a few sell shared leads. Most sell the same claimant more than one way: 13 offer live transfers, 9 inbound calls and 10 signed cases or retainers in at least one practice area.
What a firm pays for is eligibility, and sellers publish nearly the same screen. Several screen out people who already have a lawyer, who are not under a doctor's care, who expect to return to work soon or who already receive benefits, and several screen to an older working-age band. A firm comparing sellers will hold your form against that list.
Juiced lets each firm fund a wallet, set filters and caps on state, county or zip and on your eligibility fields, and bid above your minimum so the highest bid wins the claimant in seconds. Leads no firm takes go to your own marketplace, where the price falls until someone buys. Delivery is by webhook into the firm's CRM, email or text. Juiced distributes web leads, so transfers and calls need separate call tracking.

Counts cover everything each company says it sells, which can include other verticals.
Exclusive and real-time leads top the table, offered by 19 and 18 of the 24 companies, while shared leads appear at only a few. Live transfers, inbound calls and signed cases are each offered by close to half, so SSDI firms routinely choose between a web lead, a screened call and a finished file from the same seller. Plan your pricing and returns for one buyer per claimant from the first lead.
What SSDI leads are screened for
Several SSDI sellers publish their eligibility screen, and the questions barely change from one site to the next.
- Already represented. 7 of the 24 screen out claimants who already have a lawyer, the most common SSDI screen in our directory, and several companies here credit represented leads when a firm returns them.
- Under a doctor's care. 6 ask whether the claimant is seeing a doctor or getting treatment. A few go further and describe a doctor's certification or verification of the disability.
- Out of work long term. 5 ask whether the claimant expects to be unable to work long term, and 4 screen out people who are working now. One also asks about recent work history.
- Not already on benefits. 5 screen out claimants already receiving disability, SSI or retirement benefits. One sells retainers only once an application has been filed.
- Age band. 5 screen to an age band of older working-age adults, and several let firms filter leads by age.
- Contact and consent records. Several say they check phones, emails and duplicates, 5 name a consent certificate service, and one offers a video capture of the form submission.
What an SSDI lead has to carry
Firms target by geography first: state, county, zip, radius, and at one seller a three-digit zip prefix or area code. Past geography, a few sellers let firms filter on age or qualifying answers, one charges extra for custom fields, and a few route calls by business hours.
Every lead type in Juiced starts with ten default fields. Add your own on top, and decide for each one whether it is required and whether the buyer receives it.

What you need to decide on a lead is not what you need to sell it
Every field carries four switches rather than one required flag.
Ping with state, zip, age, expects_long_term_absence, seeing_doctor, has_attorney, receiving_benefits and worked_5_of_last_10. Those answers are what SSDI forms ask first, and none of them expose the claimant's contact details before the bid.
How SSDI companies sell and price
SSDI sellers are mostly marketers who also generate. 23 of the 24 run at least some of their own traffic, 11 are performance agencies that also sell search, social or website work to firms, and 10 run call centers or live transfer desks. 4 describe themselves as networks or exchanges.
Pricing follows the product. 15 price per lead, 8 per call and 12 quote each firm separately, and a few charge per signed case or per acquisition. Real-time delivery is the norm: 17 say leads arrive in real time or immediately. Where delivery claims differ, they are about how soon a new account goes live, not how fast each claimant arrives.
What firms are asked to commit, and how they start
14 of the 24 say there is no long-term contract, and 7 say there is no minimum. The others ask for something up front: an initial deposit credited toward leads, a minimum order per category, a first purchase of call credits, a weekly minimum spend, or payment for a first set of leads before the firm decides to continue. 4 describe a prepaid account outright.
Starting usually means a call. A few sellers check whether they can supply the firm's state or territory first, one recommends covering at least half a state, and several suggest a test or pilot. Kyle's rule fits this market: skip the free sample, ask the firm to fund a balance, and let the first funded leads be the test.
- Check that you can generate in the firm's states before you take the deposit.
- Agree the eligibility answers the firm requires and put them in writing.
- In Juiced, the firm funds a wallet and is charged as each lead is delivered.
Returns, and why to read the agreement
11 of the 24 publish some form of credit or replacement. The reasons repeat: wrong or disconnected number, duplicate, out of area or wrong practice area, already represented, and at one seller an underage claimant or a lead the consumer never submitted. The one policy that addresses it excludes claimants the firm could not reach or that went to voicemail, and a few judge calls only on the recording or a set call length.
The other 13 publish nothing on returns or say fees are nonrefundable. The research also found terms that undercut the homepage: a homepage promising payment only for qualified calls while the terms call every fee nonrefundable and tracking data final, and a return policy promised with no written conditions behind it. Write your own policy before the first lead, put it in the agreement, and in Juiced credit approved returns back to the firm's wallet.
Where SSDI claimants come from
Broadcast sits beside digital here. Alongside search, SEO, social and email, 3 name radio, a few name direct mail or TV, and one runs seminars. 12 say they cover the whole country and 5 describe a limited footprint, which is why territory checks come up so often.
7 buy from outside sources: publishers, affiliates, media buyers, agencies and call centers. Those that publish rules ask for an application listing traffic sources and volume, a few ban incentivized traffic, and one bans robocalls and artificially generated calls. Payouts are described per qualified call or per action defined in advance, and one says payments can stop for non-compliance. If you resell, keep a source sub ID on every claimant so returns trace back to the publisher that sent them.
How Juiced runs an SSDI lead business
Buyers fund a wallet
Each buyer adds funds before leads arrive and is charged as each lead is delivered. Approved returns are credited back to the wallet. No invoices to send and no payments to chase.
Buyers set filters and caps, then bid
Each buyer filters on your fields and caps how many leads they take. They bid above your minimum, and the highest bid wins the lead in seconds.
Delivery goes where the buyer works
By webhook into the buyer’s CRM, by email or by text.
Unsold leads go to your marketplace
A lead no buyer takes is not dropped. It goes to your own marketplace, where its price falls until someone buys it outright or a standing buy order picks it up.

Frequently asked
Are SSDI leads exclusive?
Usually. 19 of the 24 SSDI companies in our directory offer exclusive leads and 12 say each lead goes to one firm only. Only a few offer shared leads. All 10 companies here that publish a buyer FAQ answer the exclusivity question, so expect firms to ask it on the first call. In Juiced, several firms can bid on a claimant and the lead still goes to the single highest bidder.
What do SSDI sellers say about consent records?
Do SSDI firms sign long-term contracts with sellers?
Mostly not. 14 of the 24 say there is no long-term contract and only one describes a contract. Commitments come as deposits, credits, minimum orders or a first paid batch instead.
Why do SSDI sellers ask about territory first?
Volume depends on where a firm practices, and 5 companies here describe a limited footprint. A few check state or territory availability before onboarding, and one recommends covering at least half a state. Ask the same question before you take a deposit so you never fund a firm you cannot supply.
Should I sell SSDI transfers or signed cases instead of web leads?
Only if you run intake. 13 of the 24 offer live transfers and 10 sell signed cases in at least one practice area, and they rely on their own call teams to screen claimants. Most new sellers start with exclusive real-time web leads and add calls later with separate call tracking.
What drives SSDI returns?
Represented claimants, wrong or disconnected numbers, duplicates and claimants outside the firm's area are the reasons published policies credit most. Ask the represented and benefits questions on the form, cap each firm to its states, and keep a source sub ID so you can drop sources that send them.
What do SSDI leads sell for?
No prices are published here. Sellers rarely publish them, and what an SSDI lead sells for depends on whether it is exclusive or shared, a web lead or a call, the geography, how fresh it is and how many buyers want it. The pay-per-lead pricing guide shows how to work out your own floor from cost and let buyers bid above it.
Does Juiced handle SSDI calls or live transfers?
No. Juiced distributes web leads and delivers them by webhook, email or text. It does not track or route phone calls, so if calls are part of your product you need call tracking software for that side.
