Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Regardless of your disability, you likely still have monthly bills to pay. When you are unable to work, these bills can be very troublesome. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is available for certain individuals who are not eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) due to their inability to work in past years. If you are ineligible for SSD, but are unable to work contact my office to schedule a consultation to discuss the possibility of SSI benefits.
Eligibility for SSI Benefits
SSI is a need-based program that distributes monthly income and Medicaid benefits to eligible participants. To be eligible for SSI benefits, you must prove that you have a disability which renders you unable to work as well as insufficient assets to pay your healthcare and living expenses. Unfortunately, many individuals are ineligible for SSI benefits as a result of a spouse's income or assets. As an SSI benefits attorney, I assist clients with the following:
- Filing disability claim application for benefits
- Filing for hearing requests upon disability claim denial
- Filing SSI disability claim appeals
